IMAGING FEATURES
5.7 AS1 AREA SENSOR ALIGNMENT
The photoelectric light grids of the AS1 series are crossed-beam area sensors able to detect
all objects, with even 0.2mm thickness, inside a 100mm height, over operating distances
reaching 3m between emitter and receiver.
The AS1 area sensors represent the ideal solution for the detection of very small objects,
even when passing in different positions inside the controlled height and width.
Align the receiver (RX) and emitter (TX) units, verifying that their distance is inside the device
operating distance, with the units facing eachother, with the connectors oriented in the same
direction. Alignment of the units is signalled by the fast blinking of the green receiver LED.
Figure 131: AS1 Mounting
The receiver and emitter units must be mounted on rigid supports which are not subject to
strong vibrations, using specific fixing brackets and /or the holes present on the device lids.
For wiring information, see section 3.10.2, AS1 Area Sensor Connections to
CBX100/CBX500 and section 3.11.2 AS1 Area Sensor to CBX510 Connections.
