More Information

Overview Manuals Target Geometry Electrical Match Fault Isolation Product Applications

Features:

  • Defined target path: The through-slot geometry gives a clear mechanical sensing zone for flags and moving members.
  • Logic flexibility: Selectable light-on or dark-on behavior allows the signal convention to match the machine sequence.
  • Serviceable connector: The detachable T-shaped interface supports replacement without an integral flying lead.
EE-SX672A combines an emitter and receiver in one slotted housing so the machine target interrupts a fixed optical path.

Its exact A configuration identifies the connector-body orientation used to route the harness around nearby mechanism parts.

Correct replacement requires matching the NPN input circuit and proving target travel does not strike or scrape the sensor.

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.
  • Slot alignment: Center the flag through the optical path without allowing contact with either arm.
  • Travel margin: Check the full mechanism stroke, vibration and backlash rather than a static hand position.
  • Target surface: Prevent translucent or reflective geometry from creating an unintended partial beam condition.
  • Contamination control: Keep oil, dust and chips away from the emitter and receiver windows.
  • Output polarity: Connect only to an input circuit designed for an NPN open-collector signal.
  • Mode selection: Set light-on or dark-on to preserve the machine’s normal and fault-state logic.
  • Connector proof: Verify mating connector and pin allocation before applying supply power.
  • Input observation: Compare the local indication with the controller state during a slow controlled stroke.
  • No transition: Separate blocked optics, missing supply, wrong mode and input-common faults.
  • Intermittent signal: Inspect target wobble, connector retention and contamination before replacing the sensor.
  • Mechanical damage: Correct misalignment that lets the moving flag touch the slotted body.
  • Change evidence: Record the complete suffix and connector orientation before removing the original unit.
  • Position flags: Detects a moving tab at a defined machine location.
  • Small-part mechanisms: Confirms presence or passage within the protected slot.
  • Cam and shutter sensing: Converts mechanical interruption into a PLC-readable NPN signal.
  • Compact equipment: Fits constrained layouts where the T-shaped connector route is required.
Description
EE-SX672A detects a flag or machine feature passing through its 5 mm optical slot, providing repeatable non-contact presence and position feedback in compact mechanisms.

The T-shaped connector body of EE-SX672A directs the cable interface to suit constrained mounting layouts, while selectable light-on or dark-on logic supports the required PLC interpretation.

Because EE-SX672A uses an NPN output and a detachable connection, replacement approval must cover output polarity, connector orientation and target path rather than the slot width alone.

Technical notes
EE-SX672A can be mechanically installed yet remain electrically incompatible if an existing circuit expects PNP logic or the opposite output mode. Isolate the machine, confirm connector pinout and input common, then move a known target through the slot while comparing the sensor indicator with the PLC state before releasing automatic motion.

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 new EE-SX672A lights locally but the PLC input never changes. Which compatibility issue comes first?
Confirm that the input is wired for NPN sinking logic and that the common and connector pins are correct. The indicator can operate even when the receiving circuit is mismatched.
The target sometimes misses EE-SX672A at production speed although hand testing passes. What should be reviewed?
Observe the complete moving path for backlash, vibration and insufficient dwell. Also inspect contamination and confirm the controller scan captures the actual pulse duration.
A technician can mount another EE-SX67 sensor where EE-SX672A was installed. Is that enough to release it?
No. Match output polarity, operating mode, connector direction and body geometry, then prove the signal through the real machine stroke.
After maintenance, EE-SX672A now gives the opposite logical state. Should the input program be inverted?
First restore the original light-on or dark-on selection and verify wiring. A software change can hide an incorrect sensor setup and alter the intended fault-state behavior.
The flag rubs one arm of EE-SX672A but the signal remains stable. Can the machine keep running?
Stop and correct alignment. Mechanical contact can damage the sensor, move the mounting position or create debris that later blocks the optical path.
Oil mist reaches the slot of EE-SX672A. What maintenance decision is appropriate?
Treat the IP50 device as requiring environmental protection and regular optical inspection. If contamination cannot be controlled, reassess the sensing method instead of depending on repeated cleaning.
