ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Strong on dust and dirt
CX-412/413
Because the
light source is an
infrared light, it is
strong on dust and
dirt compared to
the red beam type.
Strong even in cold environments
Stronger noise resistance

The CX-400 series has
a higher noise resistance
than its previons model. By
incorporating an inverter
countermeasure circuit that
appropriately shifts with peak
wavelength, the sensor now
resists high-frequency noise
from high-voltage inverter
motors and
inverter lights more effectively.
Fluorescent
light
Stable performance can be maintained even in

environments of 25 C 13 F.
ECO
Thoroughly eliminating unnecessary waste, Reducing many environmental burdens

The CX-400 series has three different cable length
types and uses very simple packaging to reduce
waste. The bag is made of polyethylene and does not
emit toxic gasses.

Beam axis alignment made easy with a high luminance spot beam CX-423
The bright spot makes beam axis alignment easy CX-44
These sensors have a

high luminance red LED
spot beam which provides
bright visibility enabling
the sensing position to be
checked at a glance.
Because it achieved small

0.079 in at setting distance
100 mm 3.937 in, approx.
5 mm 0.197 in at setting
distance 200 mm 7.874 in,
even the minutest object
can be accurately detected.
These sensors have

a high luminance red
spot that provides
bright visibility. The

The sensor judges that an object is present when light

is received at position A of the light-receiving element

M8 plug-in connector type and M12 pigtailed type are also available.
When ordering this type, suffix -Z for the M8 connector type, -J for the M12 pigtailed type to the model No.
(Please note that M12 pigtailed type is not available for CX-44. Excluding basic type)
(e.g.) M8 connector type of CX-411-P is CX-411-P-Z
M12 pigtailed type of CX-411-P is CX-411-P-J

The sensing range and hysteresis of the diffuse reflective type sensor are specified for white non-glossy paper (200 200 mm 7.874 7.874 in) as the object.

4) If slit masks (optional) are fitted, an object of 0.5 mm 0.020 in (using round slit mask) can be detected.

5) Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use.

As the sensing object size becomes smaller than the standard

size (white non-glossy paper 200 200 mm 7.874 7.874 in), the
sensing range shortens, as shown in the left graph.
For plotting the left graph, the sensitivity has been set such that
a 200 200 mm 7.874 7.874 in white non-glossy paper is just
detectable at a distance of 100 mm 3.937 in.

Description
Light-ON mode is obtained when the
operation mode switch (thru-beam type incorporate it in the receiver ) is turned fully
clockwise (L side).
Dark-ON mode is obtained when the operation mode switch (thru-beam type incorporate it in the receiver ) is turned fully counterclockwise (D side).
LASER
MARKERS
Thru-beam type
1. Set the operation mode switch to the Light-ON mode position (L
side).
2. Place the emitter and the receiver face to face along a straight
line, move the emitter in the up, down, left and right directions, in
order to determine the range of the light received condition with
the help of the operation indicator (orange). Then, set the emitter at the center of this range.
3. Similarly, adjust for up, down, left and right angular movement of
the emitter.
4. Further, perform the angular adjust- Sensing object
ment for the receiver also.
5. C heck that the stability indicator
(green) lights up.
6. Choose the operation mode, LightEmitter

1. Set the operation mode switch to the Light-ON mode position (L
side).
2. Placing the sensor and the reflector face to face along a straight
line, move the reflector in the up, down, left and right directions,
in order to determine the range of the light received condition
with the help of the operation indicator (orange). Then, set the
reflector at the center of this range.
3. Similarly, adjust for up, down, left and right angular movement
of the reflector.
4. Further, perform the angular adjustment for the sensor also.
5. Check that the stability indicator

sensor with polarizing filters may not be able to detect it.
In that case, follow the steps given below.

Steps
Tilt the sensor with respect to the sensing object while fitting.
Reduce the sensitivity.
Increase the distance between the sensor and the
sensing object.
CX-48
Retroreflective type sensor for transparent object sensing (CX-48)
Optimum sensing is possible when the position of the
transparent sensing object is set at the center of the
sensor and the reflector. If the sensing position is set
near the sensor or the reflector, the sensing may be
unstable. In this case, set the sensing position at the
center of the sensor and the reflector.

With the slit mask OS-CX-, the sensor can detect a

However, the sensing range is reduced when the slit
mask is mounted.
By mounting the interference prevention filters PF-CX4-,

two sets of the CX-411 can be mounted close together.
However, the sensing range is reduced when the
interference prevention filter is mounted.
How to mount
The filters can be mounted by the same method as for

the slit masks.

Since there are two types of the interference prevention

different types of interference prevention filters, as shown
in the figure below.

same model No. of the interference prevention filters are

Do not make the

sensor detect an

because it may cause
unstable operation.
When detecting a specular object (aluminum or copper

foil, etc.) or an object having a glossy surface or coating,
please take care that there are cases when the object
may not be detected due to a change in angle, wrinkles
on the object surface, etc.
When a specular body is present below the sensor, use the
sensor by tilting it slightly upwards to avoid wrong operation.

changes to the detecting condition.
Remove the object, turn the adjuster clockwise

further until the sensor goes into the detecting
state again. Once it has entered, turn the
distance adjuster backward until the sensor
returns to the non-detecting condition. This
position is designated as point B . When the
sensor does not go into the detecting condition
even if the adjuster is turned fully clockwise, the
position where the adjuster was fully turned is

Distance adjustment
When this product is used, be sure to carry
out the distance adjustment.
Since the distance adjuster of this sensor is
a 5-turn adjuster, when the point A and B is
adjusted as explained in the table right, there
may be more than 1 turn between the point A
and B . Therefore, make sure to remember the
turns of both points to find the optimum position.
Be sure to wire the sensing mode selection
input (Pink / 2) before distance adjustment.
If the wiring is done after the distance
adjustment, the sensing area is changed.
Turn the distance adjuster gradually and lightly with a
minus screwdriver (purchase separately). In order to
protect itself, the distance adjuster idles if turned fully.
If the adjuster is idled when distance adjustment is done,
carry out the adjustment again.
Description
Turn the distance adjuster fully clockwise to the
maximum sensing range position.

In the state where the sensor detects the
background, turn the distance adjuster gradually
counterclockwise, and find out point A where
the sensor changes to the non-detecting

Place an object at the required distance from the

sensor, turn the adjuster counterclockwise further
