D12DAB6FV AC-coupled Glass Fiber Optic Sensor
Specifications, D12DAB6FV Sensor
for use with glass fiber optics
Sensing modes and minimum guaranteed ranges (3-foot fibers):
Opposed 1/16" fibers, no lenses: 3 inches (75 mm)
Opposed 1/16" fibers, L9 lenses: >60 inches (150 cm)*
Opposed 1/16" fibers, L16F lenses: >60 inches (150 cm)*
Diffuse 1/16" fibers, no lenses: 1 inch (25 mm); distance to
90% reflectance white test card
Opposed 1/8" fibers, no lenses: 8 inches (20 cm)
Opposed 1/8" fibers, L9 lenses: >60 inches (150 cm)*
Opposed 1/8" fibers, L16F lenses: >60 inches (150 cm)*
Diffuse 1/8" fibers, no lenses: 2.5 inches (60 mm); distance to
90% reflectance white test card
*Exceeds maximum practical separation of sensing ends for a pair of
3-foot individual fibers.
Sensing beam: visible red, 680 nanometers.
Supply voltage: +10 to 30V dc at 60 mA max, exclusive of load.
Protected against reverse polarity and inductive load transients.
Output configuration: One NPN (current sinking) and one PNP
(current sourcing) open-collector transistor. See hookup diagram, page 4.
Output rating: 150 mA maximum each output. No false pulse on
power-up. (False pulse protection circuit causes a 0.1 second delay on
power-up.) Short-circuit protected.
Off-state leakage current <10 microamps at 30V dc.
On-state saturation voltage <1V at 10 mA dc; <1.5V at 150 mA dc.
The total load may not exceed 150 mA.
Output pulse time adjustable, 1 to 70 milliseconds
Response time: 50 microseconds "on".
Repeatability: 15 microseconds
Indicators: Three top-mounted LED indicators, one yellow, one
green, and one red.
GREEN LED lights for DC POWER ON.
YELLOW LED lights for
OUTPUT CONDUCTING.
RED LED lights whenever the AGC system is locked onto the signal.
Adjustments (three top-panel controls): SENSITIVITY control
(15-turn slotted brass screw, clutched at both ends of adjustment), a
LIGHT- or DARK-OPERATE select switch, and an OUTPUT PULSE
adjustment (3/4-turn potentiometer).
Construction: Black ABS (Cycolac
®
KJB) housing with acrylic
cover. Rated NEMA 4; IEC IP66. The fiber clamping element is
Delrin
®
. Stainless steel M3 x 0,5 hardware for use with mounting
bracket (supplied).
Cable: 6-1/2-foot (2 m) or 30-foot (9 m) attached PVC-covered cable,
or 6-inch pigtail with pico-type
4-pin QD connector.
Mounting bracket: D12 Series sensors mount directly to a standard
DIN rail, or may be through-hole mounted using the supplied mounting
bracket and M3 x 0,5 hardware. Bracket material is black VALOX
®
.
Glass fiber installation (refer to drawings):
1) Gently seat an o-ring onto each sensor end of the fiber (above), and
push the sensor ends into the D12’s fiber ports as far as they will go.
2) While holding the sensor ends snugly in place, slip the fiber retaining
clip into the slot, and press the clip in until it snaps into the groove.
Operating temperature range: -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F).
Maximum relative humidity 90% at 50°C (non-condensing).
