EXPLANATION OF MAJOR FUNCTIONS AND FEATURES

Tuning can be done remotely from a connected device.Tuning automatically sets the switch to the optimal sensitivity.

Sample use:Substrate detection with a rail width change

When there is a change in the rail width or type of substrate, using remote tuning reduces the setup time required.

Remote tuning models (HPX-AG01 & HPX-AG03)This switch warns if the scanning conditions are unsuitable bymeans of a second output (light-level drop alarm output).

Sample use:Surface detection of liquids such as slurry

An alarm signal indicating a drop in the light level is output if the inside wall of the pipe becomes dirty, avert-ing potential problems.

Alarm output model (HPX-AG02)

Unaffected by gradual light-level changes or stain buildup, this model provides stable detection.In addition, as the light level differentiation signal is transmitted as a second output, this model provides advance notice of sensitivity limitations.

Sample use:Detection of small componentsmoving through pipe

The passage of small components can be detected reliably without concern for errors arising as a result of stain buildup in the pipe.

Model-specific featuresModels with special features are available for a wide variety of applications.

Data bank model (HPX-AG09)This model accepts the output of another switch or PLC and uses it together with the sensing data to determine switch output.

Sample use: Top/bottom differentiation for parts

With the output of a target-object detection switch as a trigger, the switch differentiates the top and bottom of a part. This reduces the number of wires that must be connected to the controlling device.

Up to 8 sets (data banks) of settings (preset value, sensing mode, timer and so on) can be swapped either by external input or manually.

Sample use:Differentiation of targetobjects after a type change

When the sensing setup changes, switches can be reconfigured by an external device, with considerable savings in tuning man-hours.

Sample use:Sheet position deviation detection

� Dual output modelWith upper and lower devia-tion limits set for a sheet's po-sition, two outputs enable the user to detect any deviation in the position of the sheet.

� Active zone modelAfter positional reference points are set, a single output enables the user to determine whether devia-tion in the sheet's position is within the allowable range.

Note: APC controls the light emission level of the LED, but does not compensate for a drop in the received light level arising from other factors.

Four-element LEDs shine brightly for longer than conventional ones, and LED brightness is moni-

tored by Auto Power Control (APC), which regulates the current to maintain light emission at a constant level.

HANDLING

If it is necessary to extend the cable, use wire with a cross-

sectional area of 0.3 mm2 or more that is no longer than 100 m.

If the wiring for the photoelectric switch is run through the same

conduit as high-voltage or power lines, induction may cause

malfunction or damage. Route the wiring in a different conduit or

in its own conduit.

When using an off-the-shelf switching regulator, ground the

frame ground and the ground terminal. Otherwise, switching

noise may cause malfunction.

When a load such as a capacitive load or an incandescent lamp

is connected which results in an inrush current that exceeds the

switching capacity, connect a current-limiting resistor between

the l oad and the ou tpu t te rm ina l . (O ther w ise, t he ou tpu t

short-circuit protection may be activated.)

About 200 ms is required for switch operation to stabilize after

power is supplied.

When the switch is used in a dusty environment, take measures

to prevent dust from accumulating on the sensing surface, such

as putting the fiber unit in a sealed case and using an air purge.

If the switch is used where there is strong ambient light, block

the light with a hood, etc., or change the orientation of the switch

and then check to be sure that the switch does not malfunction.

Although oil-resistant cables are used, do not use the switch

w h e r e t h e c a b l e i s a l w ay s ex p o s e d t o o r c o u l d b e c o m e

immersed in water or oil. Also, prevent the ends of the cable

from coming into contact with water or oil.

I f water or o i l gets on the sensing sur face, the swi tch may

malfunction. Install a shielding plate or the like to protect it.

Do not use the switch where it may be af fected by chemical

fumes (organic solvents, acids, alkalis, etc.).

When the sensing surface of the fiber becomes dir ty, lightly

wipe the dirt off with a soft clean cloth. Do not to use an organic

solvent such as benzene or thinner.

Pu l l i ng t he c ab le w i t h exc es s i ve fo r c e may c ause a d i s -

connection. Force should be less than 50 N.

The bending radius of the cable where it exits the amplifier unit

must be 30 mm or more. Also, do not use the cable in a manner

that repeatedly subjects it to bending stress.

The detection distance or indicated value may differ from case

to case due to variations between individual units, installation

conditions, and the type of fiber unit.
