IFM O5H500 Diffuse Sensor 50-1800mm PNP LO/DO IP67 O5H-FPKG/US100

Overview
The IFM O5H500 (O5H-FPKG/US100) is a high‑performance diffuse reflection sensor with background suppression, designed for precise object detection in challenging industrial environments. Featuring a very long sensing range of 50 mm to 1,800 mm on white objects (90% remission), this sensor delivers reliable detection across a wide variety of target materials and colours. The sensor incorporates precise geometric background suppression, which effectively ignores objects behind the defined detection window – ideal for conveyors with fixed backgrounds, metal plates, or cluttered environments.

The sensor features a visible red light source (624 nm) for easy alignment, with a maximum light spot diameter of 50 mm to ensure consistent detection across varying target sizes. Sensitivity is easily adjustable via intuitive teach buttons, eliminating the need for external programming tools. The robust rectangular PA housing with stainless steel bezel and IP67 protection rating withstands dust, washdown, and temporary immersion, ensuring reliable operation in harsh industrial environments including food processing, packaging, and machine automation. With programmable light‑on/dark‑on mode, a yellow LED switching status indicator, and a 270° rotatable M12 connector, the O5H500 offers maximum installation flexibility and ease of use.

Key Features

• Original brand new, within warranty period – Factory‑sealed, genuine IFM component with full manufacturer warranty.

• 100% Satisfaction Guarantee – Risk‑free purchase; if you are not completely satisfied, we will replace or refund.

• Very long sensing range up to 1,800 mm – Detects white objects (90% remission) from 50 mm to 1,800 mm, grey objects (18% remission) from 50 mm to 900 mm, and black objects (6% remission) from 50 mm to 600 mm, providing exceptional flexibility for diverse industrial applications.

• Precise geometric background suppression – Effectively ignores objects behind the defined detection window, preventing false triggers caused by conveyors, walls, metal plates, or other static backgrounds – critical for reliable object detection on moving production lines.

• Sensitivity adjustable via teach buttons – Two dedicated teach buttons (one for precise ON state, one for precise OFF state) enable intuitive sensitivity adjustment without external tools or software, simplifying commissioning and on‑the‑fly tuning.

• Programmable light‑on/dark‑on mode – Output function switchable between light‑on and dark‑on modes, allowing seamless integration into diverse control system architectures and application requirements.

• PNP output with 1,000 Hz switching frequency – PNP output with 200 mA continuous current rating, 1 kHz switching frequency, and built‑in pulsed short‑circuit and overload protection, enabling high‑speed detection of fast‑moving objects.

• Visible red light (624 nm) with 50 mm light spot – Visible red light source simplifies alignment and positioning, while the 50 mm maximum light spot diameter ensures consistent detection across varying target sizes and surface finishes.

• Robust IP67 housing with rotatable M12 connector – PA housing with stainless steel bezel, IP67 protection rating for dust‑tight and temporary immersion resistance, plus a 270° rotatable M12 A‑coded connector for flexible cable routing.

• Wide operating temperature and high reliability – Operates from -25°C to 60°C ambient temperature, with MTTF of 360 years, CE, UL, and EAC certifications, and compliance with EN 60947‑5‑2 EMC standards.
