Specification notes
Q1: What is the TAKEX NE-DC Series?
A: The NE-DC Series consists of compact long-range embedded amplifier photo sensors operating from 12–24VDC.
Q2: What sensing methods are available?
A: The lineup includes through-beam, polarized retroreflective, and diffuse reflective sensing.
Q3: What is the maximum detecting distance?
A: NE-T30D-DC, NE-T30-DC, and the corresponding connector model provide through-beam sensing up to 30 m.
Q4: What output does the NE-DC Series provide?
A: All models provide NPN/PNP open-collector dual outputs rated at 100 mA at 30VDC or less.
Q5: What is the response time?
A: Main NE-DC Series models provide a response time of 1 ms or less.
Q6: Can NE-M5R-DC detect mirror-like objects?
A: Yes. It uses polarized retroreflective sensing and provides a 0.03–5 m range with the K-7 reflector.
Q7: Can NE-R10-DC detect transparent objects?
A: Its target specification includes opaque, translucent, and transparent objects, although actual sensing distance varies with target transmittance.
Q8: Do the through-beam models provide an emission inhibit input?
A: Yes. Through-beam models provide a no-voltage light emission inhibit input for operation checks, start-up inspection, and timing control.
Q9: Are M8 connector models available?
A: Yes. NE-T10RD-DC-J, NE-T30D-DC-J, NE-M5RD-DC-J, and NE-R10-DC-J use M8 connectors.
Q10: What applications are suitable for the NE-DC Series?
A: The series is suited to general machinery, logistics, automotive and parts processing, food, and pharmaceutical equipment.
