FUNCTION
The sensor acquires the signal optically using a red laser. The
laser beam exits from the sensor head and hits a measuring
mark on the rotating shaft. The measuring mark can be
light-increasing (e.g., reflective foil VIB 3.306) or light-re-
ducing (contrast mark, e.g., black line on bright surface).
Whenever the sensor acquires a brightness difference, it
outputs an electrical pulse. Based on the repetition rate of
the voltage pulses, the measuring device calculates the shaft
speed.

MAINTENANCE
No maintenance is possible for this sensor. Moisten a clean,
lint-free cloth with water to clean the optical lens. Avoid
direct contact with the lens. Do not use alcohol for cleaning!
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
•
Put the sensor, cable and stand in the measuring device
case.
•
Short-circuit the magnetic pole at the stand using the
washer.
