The Panasonic EQ‑501 Reflective Photoelectric Sensor is a versatile UK-ready solution ideal for industrial automation and material handling. Engineered to detect objects from 0.1 m to 2.5 m, it offers adjustable sensing distance via a two-turn potentiometer for precise tuning. Operating on 12–240 V DC or AC, it features a robust ABS housing with an IP67 rating, making it perfect for dusty or wet conditions. Its relay (SPDT) output supports both light‑on and dark‑on modes and delivers up to 3 A switching current. With clear LED indicators and solid build quality, the EQ‑501 brings reliable long-range detection to British factories and processing environments.

What Sets the Panasonic Reflective Photoelectric Sensor Apart

For UK industries seeking precision, flexibility, and durability, the EQ‑501 stands out. With its wide voltage range (12–240 V AC/DC) compatibility and relay contact output, it easily integrates into existing systems. Its long adjustable detection range ensures stable, colour- and gloss-independent sensing up to 2.5 m, even in challenging environments. The sturdy IP67-rated construction and shock‑resistant design guarantee reliability in factory floors, outdoor setups, and dusty sites.

Salient Features and Benefits of the Product

  • Adjustable sensing range from 0.1 m up to 2.5 m, tailored to application needs.
  • Works reliably regardless of object colour or gloss level.
  • Broad input power flexibility: 12–240 V AC/DC.
  • Robust relay output, up to 3 A switching current (SPDT).
  • IP67-rated ABS housing, resistant to dust and water ingress.
  • Easy visual status thanks to orange (output) and green (stability) LEDs.
  • Fast response time below 20 ms, ideal for high-speed detection.
  • Shock, vibration, and environmental durability per IEC standards.

Typical Uses of the Sensor

  • Conveyor belt and packaging line detection
  • Object presence sensing in sorting or picking systems
  • Level detection in bins or hoppers under dusty conditions
