D12DAB6FP AC-coupled Plastic Fiber Optic Sensor
3
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 up (open).
If .020" 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.
Slide the fiber gripper back down to lock.
Sensing modes and minimum guaranteed ranges (6-foot fibers):
Opposed .020" fibers, no lenses: 0.5 inch (13 mm)
Diffuse .020" fibers, no lenses: 0.2 inch (5 mm); distance to
90% reflectance white test card
Opposed .040" fibers, no lenses: 3 inches (76 mm)
Opposed .040" fibers, L2 lenses: 30 inches 76 cm)
Opposed .040" fibers, L08 lenses: >10 feet (3 m)*
Diffuse .040" fibers, no lenses: 1 inch (25 mm); distance to
90% reflectance white test card
*Exceeds maximum practical separation of sensing ends for a pair of
6-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
®
.
Operating temperature range: -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F).
Maximum relative humidity 90% at 50°C (non-condensing).
