FPY and FPY1
models only
Excess gain curves for plastic bers
in the diffuse sensing mode are given
to the right (top row). Fiber sizes are
noted on the curves.
Excess gain curves for plastic bers
in the opposed mode are given below
(bottom row). Fiber sizes are noted on
the curves. The curve at the far lower
right uses model L2 lenses for extended
sensing range.

D12SN6FPY(Q)*
NPN sinking complementary outputs (with selectable 50µs high speed response mode)
D12SN6FPY1(Q)* NPN sinking complementary outputs (with selectable 50µs high speed response mode and 20 ms pulse stretcher)
D12SP6FP(Q)*
PNP sourcing complementary outputs (standard 500µs response time)
D12SP6FPY(Q)*
PNP sourcing complementary outputs (with selectable 50µs high speed response mode)

Range and gain information for D12FP, D12FPY, & D12FPY1 Series plastic ber optic sensors
* Include "Q" in model sufx to specify 6-inch pigtail with 4-pin pico-style QD.
Omit "Q" to specify models with 6-foot attached cable.
Models with 30-foot attached cable are available.
D12 Dimensions and Fea-
tures (plastic ber optic models)
Plastic ber installation:
1) Cut ber ends per instructions included with the
bers. Slide the ber gripper up (open).
If .010" or .020" dia. bers are used, insert the adaptor
(drawing above) into the ports as far as it will go.
2) All bers: Insert the prepared plastic ber sensor
ends gently into the ports as far as they will go.
Slide the ber gripper back down to lock.
Adaptor (included)
is for use with
.010" or .020"
diameter bers.
