SISCO long-distance color sensor is a high-precision device with stable performance. This color recognition sensor features an adjustable light spot to detect small color differences. The color detection sensor offers strong anti-interference and reliable operation, ensuring accurate detection regardless of workpiece angle or distance variations.
Long-Distance High-Precision Stable Detection
- Equipped with a white LED light spot, it functions as a highly accurate color recognition sensor capable of identifying subtle color differences and weak light intensity changes.
- It features an adjustable spot diameter, allowing users to freely modify the light spot size via a top knob to achieve optimal detection for varying target sizes.
- This industrial color detection sensor effectively minimizes interference from workpiece tilt angles, surface materials, and distance variations for reliable performance.
- It acts as a reliable color mark sensor, ensuring stable detection even when dealing with reflective metal surfaces or minimal color contrast.
Flexible Industrial Integration and Rugged Design
- It supports NPN/PNP open collector outputs with NO/NC switching, enabling seamless signal transmission to a PLC for precise control.
- Featuring a fast response time selectable from 200μs to 500ms and an external tuning input, it easily adapts to high-speed operations.
- Built with a zinc die-cast housing, it ensures outstanding shock resistance (1,000m/s2) and vibration resistance (10–55Hz) without copper-nickel components.
- With an IP65 protection grade and excellent ambient light immunity, this color detection sensor operates reliably under harsh industrial conditions.

Wiring Method
Q1: What detection range does this long-distance color sensor support?
A1: It supports a 30–500mm measuring range with a white LED light spot. The adjustable spot diameter and selectable 200μs–500ms response time enable stable color recognition of subtle differences and changes in low light. IP65 protection ensures durability.
Q2: How does this long-distance color sensor handle tilted or reflective workpieces?
A2: Tilted and reflective targets are managed by the white LED light spot and advanced optical design, which reduce interference from angle, material, and distance changes. It works reliably as a color mark sensor on low-contrast or metallic surfaces, with strong ambient light immunity.
Q3: Can this long-distance color sensor connect to a PLC?
A3: PLC connection is straightforward. The sensor provides NPN/PNP open collector outputs with NO/NC switching, plus timer functions and an external tuning/stop emission input. Operating on 10–30VDC, it integrates easily into industrial automation systems.
Tips: How to install and adjust a long-distance color sensor for optimal performance?
- Adjust the spot diameter to match the target. Use the top knob to enlarge or reduce the white LED light spot, ensuring the color recognition sensor covers only the area of interest.
- Select a suitable response time. Choose from 200μs to 500ms based on line speed. Faster settings suit high-speed color mark sensor tasks, while slower settings improve stability.
- Keep the detection distance within 30–500mm. Mount the industrial color detection sensor securely and avoid exceeding the range to maintain accuracy.
- Minimize ambient light and cross-interference. Although the sensor offers strong light immunity, direct sunlight or intense incandescent light should be avoided, and different frequencies should be set when multiple units operate side by side.
- Use the external tuning input for fine calibration. This helps the long-distance color sensor adapt to subtle color differences and ensures reliable PLC integration.
