EZ-EYE™
Miniature PushButton Photoelectric Sensor
EZ-EYE™ miniature photoelectric sensors offer a very affordable one-button solution that is EZ to align and EZ to adjust. Optimized for a variety of automated machine control applications, the setup is simple using our unique one-touch Autoset™ routine. Place the sensor in the Light State condition and press the button once for a perfect setting. Whether your task requires detection of large objects or small parts, the EZ-EYE™ family offers universal functionality via Infrared or Visible Red light source and interchangeable optical blocks: Diffuse, Retroreflective, Polarized Retroreflective, Convergent, Fiberoptic (Glass or Plastic).

Features:
•   EZ to adjust AUTOSET routine requires just a single push of one button
•   EZ to align FLASH RATE INDICATOR monitors received light intensity
•   EZ to select a higher excess gain
•   Simply TAP the single button twice to boost the excess gain (sensitivity)
•   Nano (M8) 4-pin receptacle or 6 ft. factory assembled cord
•   EZ to select sensing mode
•   Choose from ten completely interchangeable optical blocks
•   EZ-EYE™ sensors have both NPN and PNP output transistors
•   Power supply requirements: 10 to 24 VDC
•   Pulse modulated light source is immune to most ambient light.

SUPPLY VOLTAGE
• 10 to 24 VDC
• Polarity Protected

CURRENT REQUIREMENTS
• 50 mA (exclusive of load)

OUTPUT TRANSISTORS
• (1) NPN and (1) PNP sensor output transistor
• Sensor’s output can sink or source up to 150 mA (current limited)
• Outputs are continuously short-circuit protected

RESPONSE TIME
• Light State response = 500 microseconds
• Dark State response = 500 microseconds

LED LIGHT SOURCE
• Red = 660 nm
• Infrared = 880 nm
• Pulse Modulated

PUSH BUTTON CONTROL
• AUTOSET™ Routine: Push and release with sensor in “light” state7
• Excess Gain Adjustment: Tap twice to step to higher excess gain
• Push and hold to activate Flash Rate Alignment Indicator
• Light /Dark “ON” selection: Tap 5 times to toggle

RANGE
• Dependent on optical block (see range guidelines)

HYSTERESIS
• Approximately 15% of signal

LIGHT IMMUNITY
• Responds to sensor’s pulse-modulated light source, resulting in high immunity to most ambient light, including high intensity strobes.

DIAGNOSTIC INDICATORS
• Dual Red/Green LED:
• Red = Output Status
• Green = Flash Rate Alignment Indicator
• Dual Green/Amber LED:
• Green = “ON” After AUTOSET™ Routine
• Amber = “ON” After Excess Gain Adjustment

AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
• -40° to 70°C (-40° to 158° F)

RUGGED CONSTRUCTION
• Chemical resistant, high impact polycarbonate housing
• Waterproof ratings: NEMA 4, IP67
• Conforms to heavy industry grade CE requirements
