Description

The E18-D80NK is a self-contained photoelectric sensor integrating an infrared transmitter and receiver. It operates on the diffuse reflective principle, where emitted IR light reflects off a target object back to the receiver. The detection threshold is user-adjustable via an onboard potentiometer, allowing precise tuning of the sensing range between 3 and 80 centimeters.

This sensor outputs a clean digital signal, simplifying integration into control systems. The output logic state toggles based on the presence of an obstacle within the set range, making it ideal for non-contact detection. Its compact, durable housing is suited for applications requiring reliable proximity sensing in varied environments.

Key Features

  • Adjustable sensing range via integrated potentiometer for application-specific tuning.
  • Digital TTL-level output provides direct compatibility with 5V logic microcontrollers and PLCs.
  • Diffuse reflective infrared design ensures stable detection of non-reflective objects.
  • Compact and robust form factor designed for easy mounting in constrained spaces.
  • Integrated 1-meter cable with standard color-coded wiring (VCC, GND, Signal) for straightforward connection.
  • Optimized performance-to-cost ratio for high-volume automation and robotics projects.

Applications

  • Robotics obstacle avoidance and navigation systems.
  • Object detection on industrial assembly lines and conveyor belts.
  • Interactive media installations and presence detection.
  • Non-contact level sensing in bins or hoppers.
  • Security systems for perimeter or entry detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I adjust the detection range on the E18-D80NK sensor?

The sensor features an integrated potentiometer. Use a small screwdriver to turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the sensing distance or counterclockwise to decrease it. Adjust while testing with a target object to achieve the desired trigger point within the 3 to 80 cm range.

What is the output signal logic of this infrared sensor?

The E18-D80NK provides a digital TTL output. The default logic is typically active-low, meaning the output pin goes LOW (0V) when an object is detected within range and remains HIGH (5V) when no object is present. However, some variants may use active-high logic; refer to the specific wiring guide.

What is the correct wiring connection for the 3-wire cable?

Connect the red or brown wire to the 5V DC power supply, the green or blue wire to ground (GND), and the yellow or black wire to a digital input pin on your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi). Ensure your power source can supply up to 300mA for reliable operation.
