Instruction manual

1 Product Description
Advanced sensor with dual digital displays for use with plastic and glass fiber optic assemblies
• Easy to read dual digital displays show both signal level and threshold
simultaneously
•
Lever action fiber clamp provides stable, reliable, and trouble-free fiber
clamping
• Simple user interface ensures easy sensor set-up and programming via
displays and switches/buttons, remote input teach wire, or IO-Link
• Expert TEACH and SET methods ensure optimal gain and threshold for all
applications, especially low contrast applications
• User has full control over all operating parameters: threshold, Light
Operate or Dark Operate, output timing functions, gain level, and response
speed
• Thermally stable electronics minimize warm-up drift and the effect of side-
by-side mounting of multiple fiber amplifiers
• ECO (economy) display mode reduces amplifier power consumption by
25%
• Cross talk avoidance algorithm allows two sensors to operate in close
proximity for many applications
• Response speeds of: 200 µs (High Speed), 500 µs (Standard), 2 ms (Long
Range), and 5 ms (Extra Long Range) allow the operator to optimize for
fast or long distance applications
• Sleek 10 mm wide housing mounts to 35 mm DIN rail
• Visible red LED sensing beam
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Connector options:
•
A model with a QD connector requires a mating cordset (see Quick-Disconnect Cordsets on page 32).
• For 9 m cable, change the suffix 2M to 9M in the 2 m model number (example, DF-G1-NS-9M).
• For 150 mm (6 in) PVC pigtail, M8 Pico QD connector, 4-pin change the suffix 2M to Q3 in the 2 m model number (example,
DF-G1-NS-Q3).
