Note: If the green LED turns off or " - - - " flashes after the calibration,
the sensitivity has no allowance. In such a case, adjust the sensor
head position, and calibrate again.

or button is pressed again while the preset value flashes, the
preset value can be increased or decreased.
• When the or button is held down for 3 seconds or more, the
preset value increases/decreases continuously.
Procedure
1
Pass a target through the optical axis while
pressing the SET button.

● Distance display
• The greater the distance between the target and the sensor head,
the larger the displayed value becomes.
• If the target or background is out of the detectable range, is
displayed.
Note 1: The distance value indicates a reference value only. It is not
an absolute distance.
Note 2: If the target approaches the sensor head closer than the
specified range, the displayed value may increase.

With the target in place, turn the trimmer to

transmitter up/down and right/left. Set the
transmitter at the midpoint of the range where
the green LED is lit. Secure the transmitter and
adjust the receiver position in the same way.
Turn the trimmer counterclockwise from Max.

Set the trimmer midway between point A and
Max. Confirm sensor operation.
Mutual Interference
• The alternate-frequency type allows mutual interference suppression
up to two sensors.
• The alternate-frequency type is not available for the thrubeam type.
• To suppress the mutual interference with the thrubeam type or with
three or more sensors, contact KEYENCE.
Sensor Head Orientation
To detect a moving target, consider orientation of the sensor head
according to the direction of the movement.

* The adjustment for the retroreflective type is the same as for the thrubeam type.
1. The alternate-frequency type is indicated by replacing "1" at the end of model name with "5". The models are PZ-M65, M15, M35, M75, V15 V35 and V75.
2. The detecting distance is obtained with the maximum sensitivity.
3. The transmitter of the PZ-M51 features a power indicator only.
4. The PNP-output type sensor is suffixed with P after the model name.

• The PZ-V/PZ-M series is designed only to detect a target. Do not use it
in a safety circuit to protect human body.
• The PZ-V/PZ-M series does not have explosion-proof structure. Do not
use it in the atmosphere where flammable gas, liquid or powder exists.
• To extend the cable length, use a cable with at least a 0.3 mm
2
nominal cross-section area. Limit the length of cable extension to no
more than 100 m.
• If the amplifier cable is placed together with power lines or high
voltage lines in the same conduit, a detection error may occur due to
noise interference, or the sensor may be damaged. Isolate the
amplifier cable from these lines.
• When using a commercially available switching regulator, ground
the frame ground terminal and ground terminal.
• Do not use the PZ-V/PZ-M series outdoors or in a place where
extraneous light can enter the light-receiving surface directly.
• When the multi-reflective type is used for the detection of a target
with high reflectivity (e.g. mirror-surfaced object), proper detection or
distance adjustment may be disabled. In such a case, tilt the sensor
head at some angle.
• During maximum sensitivity setting, the detecting distance may vary
due to a difference in characteristics of each unit.

foregoing warranty disclaimers or damage limitations may not apply.
• Be sure to check that the wiring is properly established. Improper
wiring may cause a decrease in sensitivity or overheating and
sensor damage. (See “I/O Circuit”.)
• To mount the sensor, use an M3 screw (coarse thread). Limit the
tightening torque to 0.6 N•m or less.
• To mount PZ-M71/V71, use an M4 screw (coarse thread). Limit the
tightening torque to 0.7 N•m or less.
• To attach the R-5 reflector, use an M3 screw (coarse thread). Limit
the tightening torque to 0.3 N•m or less.
• The displayed value may vary depending on the surrounding
environment, such as temperature change or dust.
• Use a stable power supply. The sensor cannot operate properly if
the power supply is unstable at power-on or if the ripple exceeds the
specified range.
