Eaton 1351E-6514 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Eaton 50 Series diffuse reflective sensor need a separate reflector or receiver to work?
No. The Eaton 50 Series diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor detects the target directly off the object itself, so there is no reflector or opposing receiver to mount and align. That makes it a one-side install for object presence and counting. If you need long range across a wide gap or reliable detection of dark or irregular targets, a retroreflective or through-beam type is the better choice, since those depend on a fixed reflector or emitter rather than the target's own reflectivity.
2) What supply voltage and output current can the Eaton 1351B photoelectric sensor handle?
It runs on 10-30 Vdc with reverse polarity protection built in, so a miswired supply lead will not damage it. Output is rated 250 mA max DC, and 250 mA at 30 Vdc. That covers a PLC input, a small relay, or a pilot light directly, but anything drawing more than 250 mA needs an interposing relay or contactor between the sensor and the load.
3) Which Eaton 50 Series sensor has NPN and PNP outputs, and what is the difference between the models?
Model 1351B-6507 is the right angle version with an NPN and PNP open collector output on a 4-pin dual key micro connector, so it wires to either a sinking or sourcing PLC input card. Model 1351B-6511 is also right angle but terminates in a 6.6 ft (2 m) cable, with the output configuration depending on the output device. Model 1351E-6514 is the forward viewing version. Pick the output style to match your controller input card before you order.
4) Can the Eaton 50 Series sensor be used in a washdown or dusty plant area?
It is rated for NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12 and 13 environments. NEMA 4 covers hose-directed water, which is what you want for washdown duty, and NEMA 12 and 13 cover dust, falling dirt, and oil or coolant spray on machine tools. It is also CSA certified. Operating temperature runs from -40 F to 158 F, so unheated warehouses and cold storage entrances are within range.
5) Should I get the right angle or forward viewing version of this Eaton photoelectric sensor?
It comes down to how the sensor sits relative to the target. The right angle models, 1351B-6507 and 1351B-6511, send the beam out perpendicular to the sensor body, which suits mounting flat on a conveyor side rail or under a frame where you cannot afford depth behind the sensor. The forward viewing model, 1351E-6514, looks straight out the end of the housing, which is the simpler choice when you can mount the body in line with the direction you want to sense. Both are the same diffuse reflective sensing method.
6) How much room do I need to mount the Eaton 1351B sensor on a machine frame?
The housing measures 3.19 in height, 1.83 in width, and 1.64 in length/depth. Lay that out against your bracket before drilling, and on the connector version remember to leave clearance behind the body for the micro connector and its cordset bend radius.
7) How do I tell if the Eaton 50 Series sensor is actually seeing the target during setup?
There is a red output status LED on the sensor. It follows the output state, so during commissioning you walk the target through the beam and watch the LED switch, which lets you set sensing position and confirm the target is reflecting enough light before you ever open the PLC program. On a diffuse sensor that check matters, because dark or matte targets reflect less and may need the sensor moved closer.
