Datasheet
Advanced sensor for small object counting
• Easy-to-set selectable threshold with automatic compensation
algorithm
• Automatic compensation algorithm compensates for dust or
contamination on the fiber optic array and for ambient temperature
changes
• 16-bit microcontroller and 12-bit Analog-to-Digital converter (ADC) for
high-performance, low-contrast sensing
• Easy-to-read 4-digit display for Health Mode, Percentage Blocked,
Signal Level, or Counter Mode readout, plus indicators for a continuous
readout of operating status (user configurable)
• Sleek, ultra-slim 10 mm housing, mounts to a standard 35 mm DIN rail
• Single discrete output plus Health Mode output to indicate preventative
maintenance is required
• Three-mode power and speed selection to optimize detection reliability
• Dynamic event stretcher to ensure one output per event — especially
for gel-cap style pills
• Visible red (680 nm) sensing beam
• Models available with 2 m or 9 m (6.5 ft or 30 ft) cable or integral Pico-
style quick-disconnect

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example: D10DNCFP W/30.
Models with a QD connector require a mating cable.
