Advanced sensor with dual digital displays for use with plastic and glass fiber optic assemblies
Features
Easy to read dual digital displays show both signal level and threshold simultaneously
Lever action fiber clamp provides stable, reliable, and trouble-free fiber clamping
Simple user interface ensures easy sensor set-up and programming via displays and
switches/buttons, or remote input teach wire
Expert TEACH and SET methods ensure optimal gain and threshold for all applica-
tions, especially low contrast applications
User has full control over all operating parameters: threshold, Light Operate or Dark
Operate, output timing functions, gain level, and response speed
Thermally stable electronics minimize warm-up drift and the effect of side-by-side
mounting of multiple fiber amplifiers
ECO (economy) display mode reduces amplifier power consumption by 25%
Cross talk avoidance algorithm allows two sensors to operate in close proximity for
many applications
Response speeds of: 200 µs (High Speed), 500 µs (Standard), 2 ms (Long Range),
and 5 ms (Extra Long Range) allow operator to optimize for fast or long distance ap-
plications
Sleek 10 mm wide housing mounts to 35 mm DIN standard rail
Visible red LED sensing beam
