Adjustable Range Reflective Photoelectric Sensor EQ-500
Panasonic — EQ-500 Series
The EQ-500 is a background-suppression, adjustable-range reflective photoelectric sensor family offering sensing distance adjustable up to 2.5 m in an IP67 housing built to withstand dusty/dirty industrial environments — suited to long-range applications in harsh conditions. A contamination warning output flags optical-surface dust/dirt buildup before it compromises detection reliability, supporting preventive maintenance.
Key Features
- Adjustable range: up to 2.5 m sensing distance with background suppression
- IP67 housing for optical-surface durability in dusty/dirty industrial environments
- Contamination warning output supports preventive maintenance
- DC-voltage (EQ-511, NPN+PNP) and multi-voltage AC/DC (EQ-501) versions available
- Timer variants (EQ-511T / EQ-501T) available
