Prismatic Reflector Datalogic R5 S940700075 for Optical Sensors and Barcode Scanners

Datalogic R5 prismatic reflector S940700075 is an optical reflector designed for use with compatible Datalogic photoelectric sensors and barcode scanners. The prism-style reflector redirects emitted light back to the sensor, enabling reliable presence detection and increased effective sensing range in reflective sensing modes. It is suitable for industrial automation, conveyor monitoring and object detection applications where a dedicated reflector improves detection stability and long-range performance.

Advantages

The prismatic geometry provides consistent retroreflection over a range of incident angles, improving signal return and reducing false readings. Constructed for industrial environments, the reflector offers stable optical performance and straightforward mounting options. Using a dedicated reflector like the Datalogic R5 helps extend detection distance of reflective sensors and simplifies alignment compared to diffuse sensing.

Suitable for

• Retroreflective photoelectric sensor setups
• Conveyor belt object presence and counting
• Long-range reflective detection where a reflector is required
• Barcode scanner applications requiring a reflective backing
• Industrial automation systems needing reliable optical reference

Key specifications

• Optical type: prismatic retroreflector
• Compatible with: Datalogic optical sensors and barcode scanners supporting reflector mode
• Function: redirects emitted light back to sensing device for reflective detection
• Typical use: industrial automation, conveyor monitoring, object detection
• Mounting: designed for fixed mounting in sensor alignment applications

How to use

Install the prismatic reflector opposite the emitter of a compatible Datalogic photoelectric sensor or barcode scanner so the sensor’s light path is directed to the reflector and returned to the detector. Align the reflector to maximize returned signal strength, then secure it using the recommended mounting hardware or fixture points. Verify correct operation by testing sensor detection at intended distances and adjust alignment if necessary to achieve stable readings.

Recommendations

Keep the reflector surface clean and free from dust, oil or mechanical damage to preserve retroreflective performance. For optimal results, use the reflector with sensors and scanners that support reflector/retroreflective operating modes and follow the sensor manufacturer’s alignment and distance guidelines.
