Reflector setting range: CX-481: 300 to 500 mm (11.811 to 19.685 in), CX-482: 1 to 2 m (3.281 to 6.562 ft)
[with the RF-230 reflector at the optimum condition (Note)] Each object should pass across the beam at the center between the sensor and the reflector.
l: Length of cylindrical glasses t: Thickness of sensing object
Note: The optimum condition is defined as the condition in which the sensitivity level is set such that the stability indicator just lights up when the object is absent.
Less power consumed
The CX-400 series sensors achieve a maximum of approximately 55% of the power consumption of conventional sensors. Contributes to preserving the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE
Strong on dust and dirt
CX-412
Because the light source is an infrared light, it is strong on dust and dirt compared to the red beam type.

Strong even in cold environments
Stable performance can be maintained even in environments of -25°C (-13°F).
Strong against noise
Significantly stronger against inverter light and other extraneous light as well as high frequency and electromagnetic noise generated by high-pressure inverter motors and other devices.

MOUNTING
Beam axis alignment made easy with a high luminance spot beam
CX-423
These sensors realize a high luminance red LED spot that provides bright visibility enabling the sensing position to be checked at a glance. Because it has the smallest spot in its class, Ø 2 mm (Ø 0.079 in) approx., even the minutest object can be accurately detected.

Great visibility approx. Ø 2 mm (Ø 0.079 in) high luminance spot (at setting distance 100 mm 3.937 in)
The bright spot makes beam axis alignment easy
CX-44
These sensors realize a high luminance red spot that provides bright visibility. The sensing position can be checked at a glance. Because the CX-441 sensor has the smallest spot in its class Ø 2 mm (Ø 0.079 in) approx., even the minutest object can be accurately detected.

OPERABILITY
Reduction of volume adjustment labor
CX-42
Because these sensors possess many variations depending on the sensing range, enables you to make optimal volume adjustment easily.
CX-422: 800 mm 31.496 in CX-421: 300 mm 11.811 in CX-424: 100 mm 3.937 in

CX-423: 70 to 200 mm 2.756 to 7.874 in
Can be used for sensing minute differences
Equipped with a 5-turn adjuster so that even challenging range settings can be handled with ease.

VARIETIES
Less processing
M8 plug-in connector type and M12 pigtailed type are available. This contributes to less time spent in setting up. In addition, cable types are available with cable lengths of 0.5 m 1.640 ft, 2 m 6.562 ft and 5 m 16.404 ft. This results in less wastage.
No unnecessary cables or terminal blocks

FUNCTIONS
BGS / FGS functions make even the most challenging settings possible!
CX-44
For details on the operation of the BGS / FGS functions, refer to p.249, "BGS / FGS functions" of "PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE".
The BGS function is best suited for the following case
Background not present
When object and background are separated
BGS

Not affected if the background color changes or someone passes behind the conveyor.


The FGS function is best suited for the following case
Background present
When object and background are close together When the object is glossy or uneven
FGS

Unaffected by gloss, color or uneven surfaces when sensing objects present on a conveyor belt.

BGS (Background suppression) function
The sensor judges that an object is present when light is received at position A of the light-receiving element (2-segment element).
This is useful if the object and background are far apart. The distance adjustment method is the same as the conventional adjustment method for adjustable range reflective type sensors.
![graph LR A["Background"] --> B["In the back"] B --> C{Setting distance} C --> D["ObjectMoving object"] D --> E["Element A"] D --> F["Element B"] G["ON/OFF"] --> H["(Light received at element A)"] H --> I["Light received at element B, or light not received"]](/content/2026/06/1359661/images/f4e7ed3474ef715328e2b1c73a38eeaa4885c0c13d5a9b3f5746bf03bedbbafa.jpg)
FGS (Foreground suppression) function
The sensor judges that an object is present when no light is received at position B of the light-receiving element (2-segment element). Accordingly, even objects that are glossy can be sensed. This is useful if the object and background are close together, or if the object being sensed is glossy.
OFF in this condition only
Object absent
Conveyor Conveyor
Light received at position B
(A conveyor or other background must be present)
ON in all other conditions
Object present Conveyor
Light received at position A
For glossy object
Light is not received at position B, so an object is judged to be present
Strong against interference
The interference prevention function lets two sensors be mounted close together precisely.

Retroreflective type, Diffuse reflective type, Adjustable range reflective type
OTHERS
Less resources used
Based on environmental considerations, simplified packaging is used in order to reduce waste. In addition, the bag is made from polyethylene which produces no toxic gases even when burned.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to p.986~ for general precautions.
All models

- Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
- In case of using sensing devices for personnel protection, use products which meet laws and standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
CX-49 CX-48
Retroreflective type sensor (excluding CX-491☒)
- Please take care of the following points when detecting materials having a gloss.
① Make L, shown in the diagram, sufficiently long. ② Install at an angle of 10 to 30 degrees to the sensing object.

Retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters (CX-491)
- If a shiny object is covered or wrapped with a transparent film, such as those described below, the retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters may not be able to detect it. In that case, follow the steps given below.
Example of sensing objects
- Can wrapped by clear film • Aluminum sheet covered by plastic film • Gold or silver color (specular) label or wrapping paper
Steps
- Tilt the sensor with respect to the sensing object while fitting.
- Reduce the sensitivity.
- Increase the distance between the sensor and the sensing object.
CX-44
Mounting
- Care must be taken regarding the sensor mounting direction with respect to the object's direction of movement.
Correct Correct Incorrect


Do not make the sensor detect an object in this direction because it may cause unstable operation.
- When detecting a specular object (aluminum or copper foil, etc.) or an object having a glossy surface or coating, please take care that there are cases when the object may not be detected due to a change in angle, wrinkles on the object surface, etc.
Mounting
• The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.

Others
- Do not use during the initial transient time (50 ms) after the power supply is switched on.
CX-48
Retroreflective type sensor for transparent object sensing (CX-48)
- Optimum sensing is possible when the position of the transparent sensing object is set at the center of the sensor and the reflector. If the sensing position is set near the sensor or the reflector, the sensing may be unstable. In this case, set the sensing position at the center of the sensor and the reflector.

- When the sensor detects an uneven plastic receptacle or glass bottle, the received-light amount may differ with the sensing position or direction. Adjust the sensitivity after confirming the stable sensing condition by turning the sensing object, etc. - When sensing pipe-shaped transparent sensing object, set it in a standing, not lying, position as shown in Figure A. The sensor may fail to detect a lying object as shown in Figure B.


- When a specular body is present below the sensor, use the sensor by tilting it slightly upwards to avoid wrong operation.

- If a specular body is present in the background, wrong operation may be caused due to a small change in the angle of the background body. In that case, install the sensor at an inclination and confirm the operation with the actual sensing object.

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE
Refer to p.986~ for general precautions.
CX-44
Mounting
• Take care that there is a non-detectable area right in front of the sensor. - Depending on whether you select the BGS or FGS function, the output operation changes as follows.

BGS / FGS functions
- This sensor incorporates BGS / FGS functions. Select either BGS or FGS function depending on the positions of the background and sensing object.
BGS function
- This function is used when the sensing object is apart from the background.

FGS function
- This function is used when the sensing object contacts the background or the sensing object is glossy, etc.

Distance adjustment

- When this product is used, be sure to carry out the distance adjustment.
- Since the distance adjuster of this sensor is a 5-turn adjuster, when the point ① and ⑤ adjusted as explained in the table right, there may be more than 1 turn between the point ④ and ⑧. Therefore, make sure to remember the turns of both points to find the optimum position.
- Be sure to wire the sensing mode selection input (Pink / 2) before distance adjustment. If the wiring is done after the distance adjustment, the sensing area is changed.
- Turn the distance adjuster gradually and lightly with a "minus" screwdriver (please arrange separately). In order to protect itself, the distance adjuster idles if turned fully. If the adjuster is idled when distance adjustment is done, carry out the adjustment again.
When using the BGS function
| Step | Description | Distance adjuster |
| 1 | Turn the distance adjuster fully counterclockwise to the minimum sensing range position. (CX-441 × /443 × /444 × : 20 mm 0.787 in approx., CX-442 × : 40 mm 1.575 in approx.) | |
| 2 | Place an object at the required distance from the sensor, turn the distance adjuster gradually clockwise, and find out point Awhere the sensor changes to the detecting condition. | |
| 3 | Remove the object, turn the adjuster clockwise further until the sensor goes into the detecting state again. Once it has entered, turn the distance adjuster backward until the sensor returns to the non-detecting condition. This position is designated as point BWhen the sensor does not go into the detecting condition even if the adjuster is turned fully clockwise, the position where the adjuster was fully turned is regarded as the point BThere may be more than 1 turn between point Aand Bsince this sensor incorporates a 5-turn adjuster. | |
| 4 | The optimum position to stably detect objects is the center point between Aand B. |
- Follow only steps ① and ② Since the sensing point may change depending on the sensing object, be sure to check the operation with the actual sensing object.
When using the FGS function
| Step | Description | Distance adjuster |
| 1 | Turn the distance adjuster fully clockwise to the maximum sensing range position.(CX-441/443: 50 mm 1.969 in approx., CX-444: 100 mm 3.937 in approx., CX-442: 300 mm 11.811 in approx.) | |
| 2 | In the state where the sensor detects the background, turn the distance adjuster gradually counterclockwise, and find out point Awhere the sensor changes to the non-detecting condition. | |
| 3 | Place an object at the required distance from the sensor, turn the adjuster counterclockwise further until the sensor goes into the non-detecting condition again. Once entered, turn the distance adjuster backward until the sensor returns to the detecting condition. This position is designated as point B.When the sensor does not go into the non-detecting condition even if the adjuster is turned fully counterclockwise, the position where the adjuster was fully turned is regarded as the point B.There may be more than 1 turn between point Aand Bsince this sensor incorporates a 5-turn adjuster. | |
| 4 | The optimum position to stably detect objects is the center point between Aand B | Optimum positionA |
Others
- Its distance adjuster is mechanically operated. Do not drop; avoid other shocks.
