Application
- Single or level detection of steel pachinko balls
- Detection of medals and coins or their level detection
Features
- A small flat inductive sensor (top surface detection type) with the power supply 5 V DC .
- The 2-wire sensor requires an external output residual voltage processing circuit and an open collector output conversion circuit (interface IC, etc.). Since this sensor has these circuits built-in, the cost of the external circuit of the sensor can be significantly reduced. In addition, since this sensor has an open collector output, High / Low logic processing is possible, and it can be directly connected as an input signal of DC30V or less.
- Features a keyway on the case side for an easy mounting in one touch.
- Mounting is also possible using the accessory mounting bracket (sold separately).
- Since the operation mode is normally closed, disconnection detection processing can be easily performed.
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 sensor body (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 a number identical sensors are used, observe the minimum values shown in the figure on the below to prevent mutual interference.
(The different frequency model type has “B” at the end of its model designation.)

Precautions when installing
Others
- Please note that this inductive sensor can detect steel pachinko balls, but not SUS pachinko balls.
Use "Model: MDS-5T-S51" 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.
- Please use with a margin in the detection distance at about 70% or less of the measured detection distance.
