Photoelectric Color sensors S65-V Series

Datasensing S65-V Series

The S65-V Series delivers advanced colour detection in a compact housing, designed for integration into high-speed automation and inspection systems. With a small footprint, three independent output channels, selectable chromaticity & intensity modes, and optional RS-485 serial interface, this series provides precise colour/contrast sensing, rapid response, and versatile integration across packaging, sorting and manufacturing lines.

Design & Functionality

• The series uses a compact 50 × 50 × 25 mm housing, making it suitable for tight installation spaces while providing full-feature sensing capabilities. 
• It features wide-spectrum white light LED emission, combined with an RGB photo-receiver, enabling robust colour detection even on opaque, shiny or reflective surfaces. 
• The sensor supports three independent output channels (each NPN or PNP selectable), allowing simultaneous monitoring of different colours or conditions. 
• Users can select either the C-algorithm (chromaticity) for larger depth of field, or C+I (chromaticity + intensity) algorithm for higher sensitivity to tone variations, including grey tones.
• The S65-V features two push-buttons for setup, a 4-digit display for feedback and configuration, plus optional RS-485 serial interface for remote configuration and monitoring. 
• Typical nominal sensing distance is around 45 mm, with a spot size of approx. Ø 4 mm — optimized for precision applications. 
• Built for industrial environments: supply voltage 10…30 V DC, output current ≤100 mA, no-load current ≤60 mA, and protection rating of IP67. 

Total Crossed Beams

(In this sensor context, this means the device maintains full detection reliability across its sensing zone rather than literal crossed beams.)

• The S65-V ensures a stable and repeatable detection environment, even when target colours vary or surfaces are reflective, reducing the chance of missed detection or false colour reading.
• This reliability is critical in automated inspection and packaging lines where accurate colour recognition is a must.

Beam Pitch Options

(Here interpreted as selectable detection spans or variants)

• The standard model supports a sensing distance of around 5–45 mm (colour detection). 
• Switching frequencies up to 1.5 kHz in the V09 variant, enabling rapid detection of fast-moving parts.
• These options allow selection of a variant of the S65-V series that suits target size, speed and mounting clearance — giving flexibility in system design.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• The electronics are self-contained and no external synchronisation wiring is needed — installation is simplified.
• Quick setup is enabled via push-buttons and display; remote control is possible via RS-485 in versions that support it.
• Response time can be as low as ~0.34 ms in some models, supporting high-speed inspection. 

Operational Advantages

• High-speed, precision colour sensing: With colour emission + RGB receiver + 3 output channels, the sensor is optimized for sorting, packaging, quality control and part-presence tasks.
• Compact, adaptable housing: The 50×50×25 mm format allows integration into space-constrained equipment or retrofits while providing full feature set.
• Versatile detection algorithm: Users can choose C or C+I mode to suit application (opaque/reflective surfaces vs subtle tone differences).
• Industrial-grade build & connectivity: IP67 protection, selectable output logic, optional RS-485 interface and full electrical protections make the sensor ready for manufacturing environments.
• Applications: Ideal for packaging lines, colour-sorting systems, rubber/plastic part detection, wood/metal working processing, automotive assembly and any environment requiring reliable colour/contrast detection with high throughput.
