Frequently Asked Questions - NA1PK5PN PANASONIC

What is the operating voltage of the NA1PK5PN sensor?

The sensor operates on a 12-24 V DC power supply with ±10% tolerance.

What is the maximum sensing distance?

The through-beam type sensor can detect objects up to 5 meters away.

How do I connect the NA1PK5PN?

Connect the brown wire to positive, blue wire to negative, and use the black wire for NPN output.

What is the response time of this sensor?

The response time is ≤ 1 ms, suitable for high-speed detection.

What kind of output does the sensor provide?

It has an NPN open collector output (normally open configuration).

Can I use the sensor outdoors?

Yes, the IP67 protection rating makes it dust-tight and resistant to temporary immersion in water.

How do I clean the sensor?

Gently wipe the lens with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive cleaners.

What does the indicator LED show?

The green LED indicates power; the orange LED lights when the output is active (object detected).

Is the sensor suitable for detecting transparent objects?

Through-beam sensors can detect transparent objects like glass or plastic if they block enough light.

Where can I get spare parts or repair?

Contact a Panasonic authorized service center. The sensor is not user-repairable; immediate replacement is recommended.

Two industrial sensor modules with visible wiring, one with orange indicator lights and the other with red label (no text or symbols on the modules themselves)

Make sure to use light curtains when using a sensing device for personnel protection. Refer to p.447\~ for the light curtains.

Even a slim hand is detected by the 25 mm 0.984 in pitch beam curtain

10 mm 0.394 in thick: half the thickness of conventional models

Space savings now possible; ultra-thin design does not obstruct picking operations.

Hand holding a pen with red arrows pointing outward, no visible text or symbols

Cable can be freely arranged in any position

Clearly visible job indicator

Bright, easy-to-see job indicators, 55 mm 2.165 in length, have been incorporated into both the emitter and the receiver.

This sensor is optimal for picking. With the NA1-PK5, we've enhanced visibility even further by using 8 orange LED lights.

BASIC PERFORMANCE

Long sensing range: 3 m 9.843 ft

NA1-5

Its long sensing range of 3 m 9.843 ft is sufficient for confi rming access to a parts shelf.

FUNCTIONS

Two unit installations are possible

Sensor units can now be set to different light emission frequencies, in order to prevent mutual interference. Two units can now be operated in a side-by-side configuration without interference, for problem-free detection over wider areas.

APPLICATIONS

Preventing wrong parts picking Detecting parts having wide positioning area

Technical line drawing of a mechanical assembly with red and gray components (no text or symbols)

WARNING

Never use this product in any personnel safety application.

FUNCTIONS

Lighting pattern selectable

The job indicator operation can be selected as either continuous lighting or blinking.

Selectable detection operation

Either of two different detection operations may be selected, in order to best suit the particular application. Sensor units can be set to detect the interruption of 1 or more beam channels, or can be set to detect only the interruption of 2 or more beam channels.

Single beam interruption Double beam interruption

All opaque bodies with 35 mm 1.378 in or greater will be detected.

The accidental passage of small objects through the beam axis will not trigger detection, yet the operator's hands will always be accurately detected. This function is also useful when small objects regularly interrupt the beam axis.

Notes: 1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.
2) The sensing range is the possible setting distance between the emitter and the receiver. NA1-PK5(-PN) can detect an object less than 0.1 m 0.328 ft (0.05 m 0.164 ft when set to SHORT) away. NA1-5(-PN) can detect an object less than 0.2 m 0.656 ft (0.05 m 0.164 ft when set to SHORT) away.
3) Obtain the current consumption by the following equation. Current consumption = Power consumption ÷ Supply voltage (e.g.) When the supply voltage is 12 V, the current consumption of the emitter is:
0.5 W ÷ 12 V ≈ 0.042 A = 42 mA

PRECAUTIONS FOR PROPER USE

Refer to p.986 \~ for general precautions.

• Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection.
• For sensing devices to be used as safety devices for press machines or for personnel protection, use products which meet standards, such as OSHA, ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection applicable in each region or country.
• If this product is used as a sensing device for personnel protection, death or serious body injury could result.
• For a product which meets safety standards, use the following products.

Mounting

- Use M4 screws with washers and M4 nuts. The tightening torque should be 0.5 N·m or less.

(Please arrange the screws and nuts separately.

Orientation

- The emitter and the receiver must face each other correctly. If they are set upside down, the sensor does not work.

Interference prevention function

- By setting different emission frequencies, two units of the sensor can be mounted close together, as shown in the figure below.

The switches must be set with the power supply off. The operation mode does not change if the switch setting is changed with the power supplied.

Selection of output operation

- The output operation mode is selected by the operation mode switch on the receiver.

The switches must be set with the power supply off. The operation mode does not change if the switch setting is changed with the power supplied.

Output operation Operation	mode switch
ON when one or more beam channels are interrupted(OFF when all beam channels are received).
OFF when one or more beam channels are interrupted(ON when all beam channels are received).
ON when any two or more beam channels are interrupted.
OFF when any two or more beam channels are interrupted.

Job indicator operation selection

• Lighting / Blinking is selected by the operation mode switch on the emitter and the receiver.
  (The switches must be set with the power supply off. The operation mode does not change if the switch setting is changed with the power supplied.)
