Always turn off the sensor before moving or adjusting it. The DENEX Gripper LED must be applied, installed, adjusted, and maintained only by qualified personnel who are familiar with the operation of the DENEX Gripper LED and its associated components.
BASIC FUNCTION The DENEX Gripper LED is a non-contact sensor which counts all kinds of products carried in a Gripper. It senses the leading edge and generates one output pulse for every product.
Check that the LED 4 indicates Target Status OK, see chapter 6, ”SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS”. Failure to comply will make the counter less accurate. Mount the DENEX Gripper LED as close as possible to the Grippers without risking being in contact with the Grippers. A 5 mm safety distance is recommended.

However, the principle is the same; when a Gripper is close to the switch, it will change status on the output. The DENEX Gripper LED will sense this change and use it in the Blocking Function routine. See chapter 6, ”SOFTWARE FUNCTIONS”.
Before actual settings are discussed, first a short description of the major functions and terms. Mode Setting The DENEX Gripper LED has a Single Production Mode and a Double Production Mode. The difference is the Blocking Zone, see below. There are also modes for replacement of mechanical fingers There are four DIP-switches that tell the sensor which application it should be set for.
Gripper pulse to the speed sensor input. This is a signal which is normally available in Gripper conveyors. Normally it is a proximity switch which senses each Gripper. This pulse can be connected to the input on the DENEX Gripper LED as described in chapter 4. With DIP-switches the Gripper Pulse Mode is selected.

• You can also check with a scope, either on the Output directly or between TP8 and TP1, see chapter 6. If this is done OK, the sensor will only count one edge for half a Gripper, which will be the ideal situation.

If in Gripper Pulse Mode, it is extremely important that the Gripper Pulse is received for every Gripper on the chain. Check the installation of the DENEX Gripper LED and the proximity switch. The output pulse duty cycle should be approximately 50 %.
