FAQ
1. What is EE-SPY402?
The EE-SPY402 is a connector-type, reflective photomicrosensor from OMRON. It features a vertical design, uses a built-in amplifier, and detects the presence of objects by emitting infrared light and sensing its reflection.
2. What are the key specifications of EE-SPY402?
Key specifications include:
Sensing Method: Reflective
Sensing Distance: 5mm (based on 15x15mm white paper with 90% reflectivity)
Supply Voltage: DC 5V to 24V (wide range, ripple p-p: 5% max.)
Output Type: NPN
Output State: Light-ON
Load Current: 80mA max.
Current Consumption: 15mA max. avg.
Ingress Protection: IP50
3. What package does EE-SPY402 use?
It uses a through-hole mount module package. It is a vertical type sensor with dimensions of approximately 26mm (L) x 7mm (W) x 20mm (H) . Electrical connection is made via a dedicated connector.
4. What applications is EE-SPY402 suitable for?
This sensor is widely used in industrial automation for detecting, positioning, and confirming the presence of objects on machinery, conveyors, packaging, and assembly lines. Typical applications include packaging machinery, food processing equipment, assembly lines, robotic systems, and logistics sorting systems.
5. What development tools support EE-SPY402?
As a standard industrial sensor, it does not require dedicated software tools. It can be directly connected to PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers), relays, or TTL circuits. An Light-ON indicator is provided for easy on-site adjustment and operation verification.
6. What is the operating temperature range of EE-SPY402?
The ambient operating temperature range is -10°C to 55°C.
7. What are the key features of EE-SPY402?
Strong Noise Immunity: Uses a modulated light system, effectively resisting interference from ambient light.
Wide Voltage Range: Operates on a wide supply voltage of DC 5V to 24V.
Easy Setup: Features an optical axis mark for easy alignment and a Light-ON indicator for operation confirmation.
High Reliability: Rated IP50 for dust protection.
8. Is EE-SPY402 output normally open or normally closed?
The EE-SPY402 has an NPN - Open Collector / Light-ON output configuration. This means the output turns ON when it detects an object (light is received) .
9. What are the alternative models for EE-SPY402?
Within the same series, EE-SPY401 is a horizontal mount version with the same 5mm sensing distance and Light-ON output. For a Dark-ON (normally closed) output, you can use EE-SPY302 (vertical, Light-OFF).
Note: The output can be converted from NPN to PNP using the EE-2001 conversion connector.
10. What are the design considerations when using EE-SPY402?
Sensing Object: The rated sensing distance of 5mm is specified for white paper (15x15mm) with 90% reflectivity. The distance will be significantly shorter for black or highly transparent objects.
Cable Extension: When extending the cable, use wires with a cross-section of 0.3mm² or more; the total length should be kept under 2 meters.
External Interference: Avoid exposing the sensor to direct ambient light, such as from fluorescent or incandescent lamps.
