For through-beam sensors, make sure that the emitter and receiver are aligned.
Route the sensor wire along the same path that was used for the sensor that was
removed. Install the replacement sensor plug in the amplifier socket in the same
orientation as the old plug and secure the release latch.
The sensor plug may be inserted in either of two orientations. Some sensors work
best with the plug in one direction, and some with the plug in the other. Most dual-
lead fiberoptic sensors will have one lead marked with small yellow dots. This is the
transmitter lead. The other lead is the receiver lead. All Keyence amplifiers have
arrows on the amplifier socket indicating which side is which.
Some testing is necessary to determine the best position for the sensor. Test
operation. If the new sensor is not working as reliably as the old sensor see the next
2 sections. When done, replace any cable ties that were removed.
7.14.1 Adjusting Feature Registration Sensor Height
The sensor beam in some photoelectric sensors has a particular focal length. Place
a sample of the target material under the sensor holder. Move it so that a light
section of material is under the sensor. When inserting the sensor into the holder,
observe the beam as it reflects from the material, and move the sensor up or down
to achieve the highest reading on the amplifier. When the beam is focused, gently
tighten the setscrew or lock screw to hold it in that position.
Do not over-tighten the lock screw or setscrew.
7.14.2 Adjusting Feature Sensor Amplifier
CAUTION: Since the sensor amplifier is usually located inside of the
electrical enclosure, adjusting the sensor amplifier requires working
where live circuits are present. This procedure is intended only for
experienced personnel familiar with proper electrical safety practices.
The general procedure for adjusting sensor amplifiers is as
follows
Remove front panel of the Matrix 2360 by removing
four ¼”-20 black oxide cap head screws. Carefully
rotate it down without removing any connections.
Release the cover over the amplifier.
Move the material to be detected in place below
sensor. Record the highest reading on the amplifier.
Move the material and record the lowest reading on
the amplifier.
