Through-beam Polarized RetroreflectiveBackground Suppression (BGS)
Fast
250 μs
Detects fast-moving objects
The 250 s response speed is the fastest in its class. Closely-spaced objects on a fast-moving conveyor can be detected reliably.
Red Laser
Small red laser beam
Because the visible red laser is easy to see in both short (20 mm) and long (30 m) distances, the detecting position and optical axis can be found quickly. The small beam can detect small objects, and it also enables easy positioning of the sensor in applications where the beam has to pass through narrow spaces.
All models are Class 1 laser compliant (JIS, IEC, FDA).

Dust and water resistant
IP67 structure can be used in environments exposed to dust or water vapor.

Optical Axis Alignment (Light ON)
Through-beam
Fasten the receiver temporarily. Place the projector to face the receiver. Move the projector up, down, right and left to find the range where the operation LED turns on. Fasten the projector in the middle of the range. Next, move the receiver up, down, right and left in the same manner and fasten in the middle of the range where the operation LED turns on. Make sure that stable LED turns on at stable incident and stable interruption.
Polarized Retroreflective
Install the reflector perpendicularly to the optical axis. Move the SA1E-L photoelectric switch up, down, right and left to find the range where the operation LED turns on. Fasten the switch in the middle of the range. Make sure that stable LED turns on at stable incident and stable interruption. When installing the reflector near the photoelectric switch, adjust the angle and positions of photoelectric switch and reflector so that sensing objects can be detected reliably.
Background Suppression (BGS)
Place the SA1E-L photoelectric switch where the switch can detect the object. Move the switch up, down, right and left to find the range where the operation LED turns on. Fasten the switch in the middle of the range. Make sure that stable LED turns on at stable incident and stable interruption.
Sensitivity Adjustment (Through-beam/Polarized Retroreflective)
Referring to the table below, adjust the sensitivity of the SA1E- L photoelectric switch when necessary, in such cases as the through-beam is used to detect small or translucent objects. The table explains the status of operation LED when the operation mode is set to light ON.
| Step | Photoelectric Switch Status | Sensitivity Control | Adjusting Procedure |
| 1 | Receiving lightThrough-beam, •polarized retroreflective:No object detected | ![]() | Turn the control counter-clockwise to the minimum. Then turn clock wise until the operation LED turns on (turns off with dark ON type) (point A). |
| 2 | Light is interruptedThrough-beam, •polarized retroreflective:Object detected | ![]() | At interruption status, turn the control clock wise from point A, until the operation LED turns on (turns off with dark ON type) (point B).If the operation LED does not turn on (turn off with dark ON type) even though the control has reached the maxi mum, set the maximum position as point B. |
| 3 | — | ![]() | Set the middle point between point A and B as point C. |
After adjusting the sensitivity, make sure that stable LED turns on • at stable incident and stable interruption. For detecting objects too small to turn on the stable LED, use an optional slit. Sensitivity is set to the maximum at the factory before shipment. • When adjusting the sensitivity, use the screwdriver supplied with the SA1E-L photoelectric switch to turn the control as shown below, to a torque of 0.05 N·m maximum.
Adjustment of Sensing Range for Background Sup pression (BGS)
When adjusting the sensing range, follow the instruction below.
| Step | Distance Control | Adjusting Procedure | |
| 1 | ![]() | Install the photoelectric switch and the object firmly. Turn the control counterclockwise until the operation LED turns off (turns on with dark ON type). From this point, turn the con trol clockwise until the operation LED turns on (turns off with dark ON type) (point A). | |
| 2 | ![]() | Remove the object, and confirm that the operation LED turns off (turns on with dark ON type). Turn the control clockwise until the operation LED turns on (detecting the back-ground) (turns off with dark ON type) (point B). (Note 1) | |
| 3 | B | ![]() | Set the middle point between point A and B as point C. (Note 2) |
Note 1: When the background is far off and not detected, turn the control 360°, and set the point as point C.
Note 2: Because the control is multi-turn, it may take more than one turn to move from point A to point B.
Turning the control clockwise lengthens the sensing distance.

Power Supply and Wiring
Do not use the SA1E-L photoelectric switch in the transient status immediately after turning on the power (approx. 100 ms). When the load and switch use different power supplies, make sure to power up the switch first.
Use a power supply with little noise and inrush current, and use the photoelectric switch within the rated voltage range. Make sure that the ripple is within the allowable limit. Do not apply AC voltage, otherwise the switch may blow out or burn.
When using a switching power supply, make sure to ground the • FG (frame ground) terminal, otherwise high-frequency noise may affect the photoelectric switch.
Turn power off before inserting/removing the connector on photoelectric switch. Make sure that excessive mechanical force is not applied to the connector. Connect the connector cable to a tightening torque of 0.5 N·m maximum.
To ensure the degree of protection, use the applicable connector cable for the connector type. Connector cables are ordered separately (see page 5).
Avoid parallel wiring with high-voltage or power lines in the same - conduit, otherwise noise may cause malfunction and damage. When wiring is long, use a separate conduit for wiring.
Use a cable of 0.3 mm^2 -minimum core wires, then the cable can be extended up to 100 m.
Installation
Installing the Photoelectric Switch
Do not install the S • A1E-L photoelectric switches in an area where the switches are subject to the following conditions, otherwise mal function and damage may be caused.
* Inductive devices or heat source
* Extreme vibration or shock
* Large amount of dust
* Toxic gases
* Water, oil, chemicals
* Outdoors
Make sure to prevent sunlight, fluorescent light, and especially the fluorescent light of inverters from entering the receiver of the pho toelectric switch directly. Keep the through-beam type receiver away from intense extraneous light.
Interference prevention allows two SA1E-L switches to be mounted in close proximity. However, the through-beam model is not equipped with interference prevention. Maintain appropriate distance between the switches referring to the lateral displacement characteristics.
Because the SA1E-L photoelectric switches are IP67 waterproof, the SA1E-L can be exposed to water. However, wipe water drops and smears from the lens and slit using a soft cloth to make sure of the best detecting performance.
Acrylic resin is used for optical elements. Do not use ammonia or caustic soda for cleaning, otherwise optical elements will be dissolved. To remove dust and moisture build-up, use soft dry cloth.
Tighten the mounting screws (M3) to a torque of 0.4 to 0.5 N·m. Do not tighten the mounting screws excessively or hit the switch with a hammer, otherwise the protection degree cannot be maintained.
Installing the Reflector
Use M4 mounting screws for the IAC-R5 and IAC-R8 reflectors. Tighten the mounting screws to a tightening torque of 0.4 to 0.5 N·m maximum. Do not tighten the mounting screws excessively, otherwise the screw holes of the reflector will be damaged.
While optional reflector mounting bracket IAC-L2 is not supplied with mounting screws or nuts, the IAC-L3 and IAC-L5 are supplied with mounting screws for mounting the reflector on the bracket.
SA1E-L Miniature Laser Photoelectric Switches (Built-in Amplifier)
Installing the air blower mounting block SA9Z-A02
When installing the SA9Z-A02 on the SA1E-L photoelectric switch, use the attached M3 mounting screws and tighten to a torque of 0.4 to 0.5 N·m maximum.
Mounting bracket is not supplied with SA9Z-A02 and must be ordered separately. SA9Z-K01 mounting bracket can be used with SA9Z-A02. When installing the SA9Z-K01 mounting bracket on SA9Z-A02 air blower mounting block, use the M3 × 20 mounting screws supplied with SA9Z-A02. Do not use the mounting screws (M3 × 12) supplied with SA9Z-K01.
The SA9Z-A02 cannot be used with the through-beam slits • (SA9Z-S12, SA9Z-S13, and SA9Z-S14).
The air tube fitting (M5) can be installed to either the top or side. • The air tube is not supplied.
Close the unused port using the supplied air supply port plugging screw (M5 × 6) and gasket to a tightening torque of 1 to 2 N·m maximum. The recommended air pressure is 0.1 to 0.3 MPa.
Installing the background suppression (BGS) type
This sensor can detect objects correctly when the sensor head is • installed perpendicular to the moving object. Install the sensor head as shown below to minimize sensing errors.

If the SA1E-L is used in a place subject to large variations in the ambient temperature, the characteristics may change depending on the target object. Be sure to check the operation under the actual operating conditions.
Polarized retroreflective: when the sensing objects have mirror surface, the reflected light from the mirror surface might cause false detection. Make sure that the reflected light does not enter the receiver.
Using a laser product
The SA1E-L photoelectric switches radiate a visible laser beam. Do not look directly at laser beam. Also, do not look at the laser beam reflected by a mirror surface.
IEC 60825-1 (Safety of laser products) sets safety standards of laser products. The SA1E-L photoelectric switches are classified as Class 1 product.
The SA1E-L photoelectric switches comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 21 CFR 1040.11 according to Laser Notice No. 50, dated June 24, 2007, issued by the CDRH (Center for Devices and Radiological Health) under the FDA (Food and Drug Administration).
