Product Information

The Groove-Depth 9 mm Photomicro Sensors BS5 Series is a product designed for various applications. It is equipped with a transparent guide and can be used in machinery that requires fail-safe devices. The unit is suitable for use in industries such as nuclear power control, medical equipment, ships, vehicles, railways, aircraft, combustion apparatus, safety equipment, crime/disaster prevention devices, etc. It features a groove depth of 9 mm and comes with an instruction manual (TCD210205AD) for proper usage.

Safety Considerations

  • Warning: Failure to follow instructions may result in serious injury or death. Install a fail-safe device when using the unit with machinery that may cause injury or economic loss.
  • Caution: Failure to follow instructions may result in injury or product damage. Use the unit within the rated specifications and clean it with a dry cloth (do not use water or organic solvent).

Cautions during Use
Follow the Autonics website for selecting the specific model of the BS5 series. Use caution during installation and ensure that the unit is not placed in locations with flammable/explosive/corrosive gas, high humidity, direct sunlight, radiant heat, vibration, impact, or salinity. Do not disassemble, modify, connect, repair, or inspect the unit while connected to a power source. Check connections before wiring and use the unit within the specified distance from the mounting surface.

Ordering Information
The product supports various combinations of appearance and connection types. Refer to the Autonics website for selecting the specific model.

Cautions for Installation
Ensure that the unit is correctly mounted on the surface and follow the correct connections for cable or connector types. Avoid direct contact between the unit and the mounting surface to prevent product damage.

Selectable Operation Mode
Connect the control wire correctly when selecting the operation mode. For Light ON mode, the control wire connects with +V (Brown),and for Dark ON mode, the control wire connects with 0V (Blue). Theunit supports both NPN open collector output and PNP open collector output circuits.
