CONTROLS 

OUTPUT LED 

The yellow LED ON indicates that the NO output is closed. 

DISPLAY (green-coloured display) 

The display indicates the value of the measurement detected [operating mode function]. 
Please refer to the following paragraphs for the correct indications to follow during the acquisition or 
setting phase. 

M1, M2 LEDs  

The LED couple visualises the operating mode according to the table given below:

ALARM LED  

The blinking of the alarm LED indicates that the received signal is insufficient for the correct sensor 
functioning. In this case the “digital alarm” output is activated. 

SET PUSH-BUTTON 

Pressing the push-button for at least 2 seconds activates the self-setting procedure (2 thresholds => 
2 phases). 
A long pressure on the button (at least 6 seconds) allows the user to access into the sensor 
parameter setting menu. 
Please refer to the following paragraphs for the correct indications to follow during the parameter 
setting phase. 
 

+/- PUSH-BUTTONS 

Pressing the + or – push-buttons for at least 2 seconds allows the user to access into the manual 
adjustment mode of the 2 switching thresholds. 
The contemporary pressure on the + and – push-buttons (at least 2 seconds) activates the 
acquisition procedure of the working area map. 
The contemporary pressure on the + and – push-buttons (at least 6 seconds) activates the setting 
procedure of the reflecting tape characteristics. 
Please refer to the following paragraphs for the correct indications to follow during functioning. 

INSTALLATION 

The sensor can be mounted by means of the three housing’s holes 
using two screws (M4x35 or longer) with washers. 
Various orientable fixing brackets to ease the sensor positioning 
are available (please refer to the accessories listed in the 
catalogue). 
The operating distance is measured from the front surface of the 
sensor optics. 
The M12 connector can be oriented at three different positions 
using the specific fastening spring and rotating the block of 180°.

FUNCTIONING 

The S65-PA-5-Z sensor is a line sensor. 
The typical functioning diagram is shown in the drawing given below. The object to detect is placed in 
front of the sensor and the reflecting tape (inside the package) behind the sensor. The sensor 
illuminated with IR lights the tape and receives the reflected light on a photodiode array. Each object 
placed between the reflecting tape and the sensor is naturally detected as a dark spot on a luminous 
background. 
The sensor has 5 operating modes: 

• 

Object beg.

: the position of the first object edge is detected 

• 

Object end

: the position of the second object edge is detected 

• 

Object centre

: the centre of the object is measured 

• 

Width

: the distance between the first and last object edge is measured  

• 

Area

: the sum of all the object obscured zones is measured 

The following diagram shows the sensor output according to the possible object position inside the 
meaurement zone.

APPLICATION NOTES 

The drawing shows how the same object can generate 
different obscured zones if placed in different positions 
inside the sensor working zone. The same happens if 
the object is placed at different distances. 
The “Area” operating mode is particularly sensitve to the 
reflecting tape’s characteristics and for this reason the 
sensor can detect the main specifications of the tape 
used (please refer to “Advanced functions” paragraph”).
