Photoelectric sensor Datalogic S3Z-PH-5-M01-PP, black polycarbonate housing, IP67, 11×31×19 mm

Datalogic S3Z-PH-5-M01-PP is a compact photoelectric sensor in a black polycarbonate housing with IP67 protection. With dimensions of 11 × 31 × 19 mm, the sensor is designed for object detection and presence sensing in confined spaces and industrial automation applications. The S3Z family combines a miniature footprint with advanced sensing performance, providing an option where space is limited without compromising detection reliability.

Advantages

The sensor's polycarbonate enclosure and IP67 rating ensure resistance to dust and water exposure in demanding environments. Its miniature size enables installation in restricted spaces and on compact assemblies. High-performance sensing optics and rapid response characteristics make the unit suitable for detecting small, fast-moving targets. The black housing reduces visible reflection from surrounding surfaces and supports discreet mounting in machine frames.

Suitable for

• Object presence detection on production lines
• Small-part and component counting in assembly processes
• Integration into machines with limited mounting space
• Harsh industrial environments requiring water- and dust-resistant sensors

Key specifications

• Housing material: polycarbonate (black)
• Ingress protection: IP67 (dust-tight and protected against temporary immersion)
• Physical dimensions: 11 mm (width) × 31 mm (depth) × 19 mm (height)
• Sensing principle: photoelectric detection
• Mounting form factor: miniature inline housing for space-constrained installation
• Typical applications: presence detection, object counting, small-part detection

How to use

Mount the sensor securely in the required position where the sensing beam has a clear line of sight to the target area. Connect wiring according to the installation documentation and ensure the electrical supply and output wiring meet the machine specifications. Adjust sensor alignment and, where applicable, sensitivity or output settings to obtain reliable detection of the intended objects. Verify correct operation by testing with representative parts and adjust mounting or aim to avoid false triggers from adjacent surfaces.

Recommendations

Install the sensor with appropriate mechanical protection from impacts and avoid mounting positions where direct sprays or heavy buildup could block the sensing optics. Regularly inspect the sensing window and clean with a soft, lint-free cloth; do not use aggressive solvents that could damage the polycarbonate housing. For best performance in high-speed applications, confirm response time and switching frequency are compatible with the target speed.
