DF-G3 Long Range Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO Link 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 push-pull primary output which supports IO-link communication, and a multi-function secondary independent PNP output which can be configured as an input for advanced sensor configuration and remote teach.
DF-G3 Long Range Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO Link 2 Installation Instructions 2.1 Mounting Instructions Mount on a DIN Rail 1. Hook the DIN rail clip on the bottom of the DF-G3 over the edge of the DIN rail (1). 2.
Note: If a thin fiber with less than 2.2 mm outer diameter is used, install the fiber adapter provided with the fiber assembly to ensure a reliable fit in the fiber holder. Align the fibers to the end of the adaptors. Banner includes the adapters with all fiber assemblies.
DF-G3 Long Range Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier with Dual Discrete Outputs and IO Link 3 Operating Instructions 3.1 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. 3.2 Program Mode Program (PRG) mode allows the following settings to be programmed in the DF-G3.
