When the switch is activated, little or no light is coupled back to the receiver. The MICRONOR Fiber Optic switches are immune to EMI/RFI and can be deployed at great distances from the electrical controller. Applications include: •...
MR380-0 PCB Signaling OEM Controller Manual Fiber Optic Controller Board The MR380-0 Controller Board is intended for the OEM user in support of deployment of the various Fiber Optic Signaling products. The OEM PCB contains a stabilized transmitter and a sensitive optical receiver.
MR380-0 PCB Signaling OEM Controller Manual Functional Description The controller board sends a steady stream of optical pulses at approx. 150kHz to 300kHz frequency. The returned optical signal strength determines wether the electrical output is activated. When sufficient light is received, the outputs are activated.
The PCB is an electronic Assembly and susceptible to ESD. Please use appropriate grounding and caution when handling the PCB. In the event of a damaged product, write or call your nearest MICRONOR sales office. Please retain the shipping container in case re-shipment is required for any reason.
Be sure to use proper fiber optic cleaming tools and procedures such as the MICRONOR MR321C Cleaning Kit. Improper tools and/or processes may damage or contaminate the optical interface. Mounting the MR380-0 Controller PCB The controller PCB should be mounted on 4 standoffs.
MR380-0 PCB Signaling OEM Controller Manual Optical Connections to the MR380-0 Controller A duplex fiber optic cable is used to interconnect the sensor and controller. The sensor incorporates a 1.5m optical pigtail (or as specified by customer). If a longer connection to the controller is required, then a fiber optic extension cable may be used.
MR380-0 PCB Signaling OEM Controller Manual Electrical Connections To MR380-0 Controller The may be unit is powered with any voltage between 5V and 24V DC. Current consumption is typ. 8mA at 5V DC and +12mA at 24V DC excluding any external load.
MR380-0 PCB Signaling OEM Controller Manual Interfacing with an external Relay An external relay may be connected to the open-collector terminal (6). The maximum voltage allowed for this output is up to the power supply Voltage. If the pull-up resistor R8 is removed, then voltages exceeding the V Supply up to 48V are allowed.
