Model MD-5C4D 2-wire Thin Proximity Sensor for Detecting Steel Pachinko Balls NEW 

Application

  • Single or level detection of steel pachinko balls.
  • Detection of medals and coins or their level detection.
  • Magnetic metal detection.

Features

  • An ultra-thin and compact flat proximity sensor (top surface detection) with a thickness of 4 mm that can detect steel pachinko balls.
  • Wiring can be saved with a 2-wire system.
  • Since the C-cut shape is used for the main body case, it is possible to prevent incorrect installation orientation.
  • Features a keyway on the case side for an easy installation in one touch.

International Standards

  • Our products do not have overseas safety regulations such as CE mark, UL standard, EN standard etc.
  • Products is compliant to the RoHS directive.

* Please consult about "change of specification" and "request of specification" of the product.

Precautions During Use

Influence by Surrounding Metals

Do not place metal around the proximity switch (Within 30 mm from the detection surface and within 15 mm from the back of the detection surface, or within 10 mm for the side surface from one direction and within 15 mm for the side surface from two directions.)
Otherwise, the detection distance may increase or other malfunctions may occur.

Mutual Interference

When two or more identical sensors are used, position at least at the spacing shown in the figure below to prevent mutual interference.
(The different frequency model type has “B” at the end of its model designation.)

Precautions When Installing

Note that proximity switches cannot be mounted on metal surfaces.

Others

  • Please note that this proximity sensor can detect steel pachinko balls, but not SUS pachinko balls.
    Use "Model: MD-5C4SD" to detect SUS pachinko balls.
  • When detecting pachinko balls one by one, keep them at least 30 mm apart.
    In addition, the range of output operation time varies depending on the passing position, passing distance, passing speed, ball material, and parallelism of the medal surface with respect to the sensor detection surface.
  • Do not drop a detector such as a pachinko ball or medal directly on the detection surface.The internal ferrite core may be damaged by impact, and the sensor may deteriorate or fail. Also, do not directly hit or pass a detector such as a pachinko ball or medal against the detection surface of the sensor. Be sure to install an indirect materials (plastic, etc.) between the detector and the detection surface of the sensor for detection.
  • Be sure to insert and remove the connector horizontally.
    If you insert or remove it at an angle, it may cause terminal deformation, case damage, or poor contact.
  • For other precautions, refer to "General Precautions" for proximity sensors.
