Printed in USA
D12 Expert Series –
One-button programmable sensors for use with glass or plastic fibers
• Fiber optic sensors for DIN rail mounting; 10 to 30V dc operation
• Visible red (680 nm) light source; models for use with either glass or plastic fibers
• High optical sensing power when needed, also excels at low-contrast sensing
• Easy TEACH-mode programming automatically adjusts sensitivity to optimal setting*
• D12E sensors are designed for low-contrast sensing applications (switching
threshold set to just above the "dark" condition)
• D12E2 sensors set their switching threshold midway between the "dark" and
"light" conditions to ignore subtle changes, such as web flutter
• Output may be programmed for either light or dark operate
• Fast 200 microsecond sensing response; Programmable 40 millisecond pulse
stretcher
• Secure one-button programming is easy to use; one button sets both TEACH and
sensor configuration settings
• 7-segment LED bargraph indicates relative received signal strength and sensing
contrast, programming status, and diagnostic trouble warnings
• Marginal sensing alarm
• Separate input allows remote programming by an external device, such as a
switch or a process controller
