Description

D12FPH Series DIN Rail High Power Fiber Optic Sensors

Printed in USA 06/08 P/N 34970 rev. C

D12s have a 15-turn SENSITIVITY control, with a

slotted brass screw clutched at both ends of travel.

D12FPH Series sensors may be used with either the

small diameter (.020") or large diameter (.040") Ban-

ner cut-to-length plastic bers.

See page 4 for sensor dimension drawings. D12 Sen-

sors mount directly to a standard DIN rail. They may

also be through-hole mounted to a surface using the

supplied bracket (see page 4) and stainless steel M3

x 0,5 mounting hardware.

D12s are constructed of rugged black ABS (Cyco-

lac

KJB). The transparent housing cover is acrylic.

D12FPH Series sensors are rated NEMA 2.

WARNING D12FPH Series sensors do NOT include the self-

checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel

safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can result in either

an energized or a de-energized sensor output condition.

Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection.

Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition which could

lead to serious injury or death.

Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed

to meet OSHA and ANSI machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding

devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and

they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.

D12 Features

(top panel shown)

Very high power sensors for use with plastic ber optic assemblies

D12FPH Series sensors are compact, totally self-contained visible-red ber

optic sensors for DIN rail mounting. D12FPH Series sensors are designed for

use with Banner cut-to-length plastic ber optic assemblies. They may be used

in the opposed and diffuse ber optic sensing modes. D12FPH Series sensors

have the highest optical power available in a plastic ber optic sensor.

D12s operate from 10-30V dc and draw 45 mA maximum, exclusive of load

current. Models are available with a choice of NPN or PNP complementary

outputs (one output normally open, one output normally closed). The normally

closed output of all models may be used as a diagnostic alarm output, depending

upon the hookup of the sensor to the power supply*. All models are available

with either an attached cable or a 6" pigtail with a pico-style quick disconnect

connector. A complete listing of models is given on page 2.

Each output is capable of 150 mA continuous load. The choice of NPN (sinking)

or PNP (sourcing) models enables D12 sensors to interface to a wide variety

of loads.

ON and NORMALLY OPEN OUTPUT CONDUCTING conditions.

(right) lights to in-

dicate the relative strength of the received light signal. This feature can greatly

simplify sensitivity adjustment and the task of ber optic alignment, as well as

provide a constant reference over time for overall sensing system performance.

Also, segment #1 of the bargraph ashes to indicate an output overload, and

segment #7 ashes to indicate marginal excess gain. A ashing LED corresponds

to the "on" state of the D12’s alarm output.

D12FPH Series DIN RAIL Fiber Optic Sensors D12FPH Dimensions and Features Adaptor (included) is for use with .020" diameter fibers. Plastic fiber installation: 1) Cut fiber ends per instructions included with the fibers. Slide the fiber gripper (front of sensor) up (open). If .020" or .010" dia. fibers are used, insert the adaptor (drawing above) into the ports as far as it will go. 2) All fibers: Insert the prepared plastic fiber sensor ends gently into the ports as far as they will go.
