Background Suppression Sensors

FHDK10
The HPL Series can detect the minute differential
difference of very small and thin objects, with no
Series effect of the object’s color or reflection.

Size (12 x 14 x 27mm)

Superior detection of minute differential distances
(Able to detect one-tenth of the sensing distance of conventional models)

Can be mounted easily in any position or

location using a dedicated mounting bracket

OUTPUT CIRCUIT

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT
Distance setting method
(1) Adjust the scanning distance setting potentiometer to the
minimum setting distance by turning it counterclockwise.
(2) Place a detection object at the scanning position, and turn the
scanning distance setting potentiometer gradually clockwise
until the operation indicator is ON. This position is determined
as position A.
(3) Take the detection object away, and gradually turn the
potentiometer further clockwise from position A until the
operation indicator is ON, and the turning is stopped once. And
then, gradually turn the potentiometer back counterclockwise
until the operation indicator is turned OFF. This position is
determined as position B. If the operation indicator does not go
ON even when the scanning distance setting potentiometer is
set at the maximum distance, this position is designated as B.
(4) Set the scanning distance setting potentiometer in between
positions A and B.

 BASIC PRECAUTIONS
1. Mounting 2. Wiring 2

conduit. Otherwise, electrical noise or power surge
may cause incorrect operation or damage.
• frame
If a switching regulator is used for the power supply, connect the
ground and ground terminal to the earth. When the sensor
is used without grounding, faulty operation may occur due to the
switching noise.
• When using a load which generates rush current above the
allowable output current (e.g. capacitive load, incandescent lamp
load), connect a current-limiting resistor between the load and the
output. (Otherwise, the output short-circuiting protection function
may operate.)

3. Handling
• Tighten the mounting screw for case at a torque less than 0.5N-m.
• sensor
Do not bend the part of the cord nearest to the photoelectric
within a minimum radius of 20mm. Also, avoid applying
continuous bending stress.
• The time required for stabilizing the operation is approx. 0.1s after
power ON.
• Avoid use in locations subject to large vibrations or shock, and do
not use outdoors
• Prevent water or oil from splashing on the photoelectric sensor.
• Do not tug the cord with more than 30N force.
• Do not use in atmosphere with chemicals (organic solvents, acid,
alkali, etc.).

• condition
Take care for the mounting direction when the color or surface • If lens is soiled, wipe with a soft, clean cloth or with a damp cloth.

paint thinner.
• Be careful of mutual interference when two or more photoelectric
sensors are use in close proximity. Make sure to check the
individual operation before starting.

• Use the sensor in a way that the sensing surface of the sensor
and the detection object surface are parallel. (The object must not
be at a slant.)
