Datalogic S65-PA-5-V19-PPP Color Sensor Plastic Axial Dark Colors PNP-M12

The Datalogic S65-PA-5-V19-PPP is a compact photoelectric color sensor designed for precise color detection in industrial automation applications. This model features a plastic housing with axial optics, optimized for detecting dark colors using RGB LED emission. It is ideal for tasks such as quality control, sorting, and packaging in manufacturing environments, where it can distinguish subtle color variations on objects like labels, caps, or products. Key benefits include high accuracy with teach-in functionality via SET and SEL buttons, a digital display for easy setup, and robust performance in harsh conditions with IP67 protection. Compared to similar sensors, it offers superior response time and reliability, reducing downtime. Drawbacks may include limited sensing range for very distant objects and the need for periodic calibration. The sensor supports PNP output and M12 connection for seamless integration with PLCs. Based on image analysis, this unit appears used with minor wear but functional, including visible faceplate details like model number and UL listing. No parent/child assets are attached. For detailed resources, refer to the Datalogic S65 Series datasheet (available at https://www.datalogic.com/upload/public-documents/en/s65_ds_en.pdf) and model decoder guide (search 'Datalogic photoelectric sensor model code'). Estimated market price for used condition: $150-$250 USD, based on recent eBay and industrial surplus listings.
