Question
Can other models of Reflectors be used with Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensors instead of the supplied Reflectors?
Answer
Yes, these Reflectors can be used: E39-R1, E39-R1S, E39-R2, E39-R3, E39-R9, E39-R10, E39-RS1, E39-RS2, and E39-RS3.
This does not apply, however, to Photoelectric Sensors for detecting transparent objects (E3Z-B, E3S-R, E3S-CR62/67, E32-R21, and E32-R16) or to the E3T.
Explanation:
The following table gives the sensing distances for the Reflectors listed above.
Example: E3Z
Reflector | Sensing distance |
E39-R1 | 3 m |
E39-R1S | 4 m |
E39-R2 | 5 m |
E39-R3 | 1.5 m |
E39-R9 | 2.5 m |
E39-R10 | 3.5 m |
E39-RS1 | 700 mm |
E39-RS2 | 1.1 m |
E39-RS3 | 1.4 m |
Note:Tape Reflectors (E39-RS1, E39-RS2, and E39-RS3) can be used cut to the desired size.
