More Information

Overview Manuals Selection Installation Service Product Applications

Features:

  • Single-ended wiring: The sensor’s emitter and receiver share one housing, so only the reflector occupies the far side.
  • Relay output: The unit interfaces with relay-based machine logic while retaining selectable operation mode.
  • Defined reflector system: The verified sensing distance is tied to the specified reflector and alignment.
BX5M-MFR returns its infrared beam from an MS-2 reflector and detects a target that blocks the optical path.

The one-sided electrical installation can simplify conveyor and machine layouts compared with a through-beam pair.

Stable operation requires the correct reflector, rigid alignment and a target large and opaque enough for the real geometry.

Apter Power can help confirm the Autonics BX5M-MFR Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor, reflector scope and relay interface before quotation.

Important Notice: Other accessories, manuals, cables, calibration data, software, etc. are not included with this equipment unless listed in the above stock item description. All prices are shown in USD.
  • Sensing method: Confirm the application requires a retroreflective arrangement.
  • Rated span: Keep the path within the published distance for the documented reflector.
  • Target basis: Check the minimum target size and opacity against the application.
  • Terminal format: Verify the panel is designed for the terminal-block housing.
  • Rigid opposing mounts: Prevent relative movement between sensor and reflector.
  • Centered alignment: Adjust through the stable operating region and lock both brackets.
  • Cable entry: Support conductors so terminal force is not transferred to the housing.
  • Process test: Prove the smallest and most reflective intended targets at operating speed.
  • Surface record: Photograph lens and reflector condition before cleaning.
  • Terminal inspection: Check corrosion, looseness and heat damage with power isolated.
  • Bracket record: Mark the original sensor and reflector positions before mechanical work.
  • Replacement history: Record the exact installed label after service.
  • Conveyor presence: Detects cartons or totes with wiring on one side of the line.
  • Door monitoring: Senses an opaque flag moving between the unit and reflector.
  • Packaging machines: Confirms product passage where a through-beam receiver cable is inconvenient.
  • Material handling: Detects pallets and carriers across moderate spans.
Description
With the emitter and receiver in the same housing, BX5M-MFR keeps powered wiring on one side of the detection point while the opposite side carries the passive reflector. This can simplify installation where access for wiring is limited.

As the retroreflective member of the Autonics BX family, BX5M-MFR detects an opaque target when it interrupts the infrared beam returning from the reflector. The sensor and reflector together define the optical path.

The specified reflector provides the return signal used by BX5M-MFR, so detection margin depends on reflector alignment and a clear path between both surfaces. This makes optical geometry part of the sensing function rather than a separate mounting detail.

Technical notes
Isolate panel power before handling BX5M-MFR terminals. Photograph the sensor label, reflector label, bracket positions and terminal numbers, then retain all mounting hardware until the replacement is accepted. After installation, restore guards, close the enclosure and record the final sensor and reflector identities in the machine file.

FAQS

The following is a list of questions commonly asked by our customers. Please contact us if you have a question about our process that is not answered below.
A supplier offers the timer-equipped T variant for BX5M-MFR. Can it be installed as a direct spare?
No direct replacement is established. The T suffix adds timer functions and belongs to a different configured variant; retain BX5M-MFR unless a formal engineering change proves the complete electrical and operating behavior.
The MS-2 reflector for BX5M-MFR is missing from the shipment. Can polished metal be used temporarily?
No. Use the manufacturer-listed MS-2 reflector. Autonics also names MS-4 as a separately sold alternative, but an arbitrary reflective surface is not the documented optical system.
A panel has 24–240 VAC available for BX5M-MFR. Can the standard model be connected because another BX variant accepts universal power?
No. The exact BX5M-MFR page specifies 12–24 VDC. A universal AC/DC rating from another suffix must not be transferred to this model.
The machine drawing requires a specific relay-contact arrangement from BX5M-MFR. Does the base model name alone confirm it?
No. Autonics notes that the 1a relay-contact output is optional. Verify the ordered contact arrangement and terminal drawing before accepting or wiring the sensor.
Can BX5M-MFR be installed where condensation forms because the housing is rated IP66?
No such conclusion follows from IP66. Autonics states the environmental rating applies without freezing or condensation, so correct the enclosure conditions before installation.
Stores can verify only the scale reading for a BX5M-MFR delivery. Is that enough to release the sensor?
No. Approximate packaged weight is not a model identifier. Hold the delivery until the exact sensor marking and the manufacturer-listed reflector scope can be inspected.
