DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 1.2 Overview The DF-G1 is an easy-to-use, DIN-rail-mountable fiber optic sensor. It provides high-performance sensing in low-contrast applications. The sensor’s compact housing has dual digital displays (Red/Green) and a bright output LED for easy programming and status monitoring during operation. The sensor features a single discrete output, either NPN or PNP, by model.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier Output LED The output LED provides a visible indication when the output is activated.

RECEIVER Multi-core fiber Single-core fiber TRANSMITTER 2.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 3 Run Mode Run mode allows the sensor to operate normally and prevents unintentional programming changes. The +/SET/- rocker button is disabled during RUN mode, except when using Window SET, see Window SET on page 17.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 4 Program Mode Program (PRG) mode allows the following settings to be programmed in the DF-G1 (refer to Figure 2 on page 9 and Figure 4 on page 12 for programming). Figure 2.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 4.1 TEACH Selection The DF-G1 can be programmed for one of the following TEACH/SET methods: • Two-Point TEACH • Dynamic TEACH • Window SET • Light SET • Dark SET • Calibration SET NOTE: A TEACH Selection must be selected by programming before TEACH/SET methods can be used. 4.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier • Severe contamination/changes in the taught condition can prevent the Auto Thresholds algorithm from optimizing the threshold(s). If this occurs, the DF-G1 will enter a Threshold Alert or Threshold Error state. See Troubleshooting on page 24 for more explanation. 4.5 Delays/Timers ON/OFF Delays and ON/OFF One-Shot timers can be programmed between 1 9999 ms (a value of 0 disables the delay/ timer).
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 5 Remote Input (not available on IO-Link models) The remote input may be used to perform TEACH/SET methods and to program the sensor remotely. Connect the white input wire of the sensor to ground (0 V dc), with a remote switch connected between them. Pulse the remote input according to the diagram shown in Figure 4 on page 12. Follow the instructions in the TEACH/SET sections in Adjust Mode on page 13 to perform a TEACH/SET method.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 6 Adjust Mode Sliding the RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch to the ADJ position allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and Manual Adjustment of the threshold(s). 6.1 Two-Point TEACH • • Establishes a single switching threshold Threshold can be adjusted using "+" and "-" rocker button (Manual Adjust) Two-Point TEACH is used when two conditions can be presented statically to the sensor.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier Method Action Result SET Button 2 Set the Mode switch to ADJ. Remote Input 3 No action is required; sensor is ready for the Two-Point TEACH method Display: Red - Signal Level; Green Threshold 2. Teach the first condition. Method Action Result SET Button a. Present the first condition. Display: Flashes "2Pt tch" then holds on "1234 2nd" b. Click the SET rocker button T Remote Input a. Present the first condition. b. Single-pulse the remote input.
DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier 6.2 Dynamic TEACH • • • Teaches on-the-fly Establishes a single switching threshold Threshold can be adjusted using "+" and "-" rocker button (Manual Adjust) Dynamic TEACH is best used when a machine or process may not be stopped for teaching. The sensor learns during actual sensing conditions, taking multiple samples of the light and dark conditions and automatically setting the threshold at the optimum level (see Figure 6 on page 15).
