HX Nitro Sensor Connection
Description:
Various sensors are used to detect the position of the product(s) in the production line. Each type depends
on the environmental and physical conditions, it is basically applied in different industries using proximity
sensors, opticals and lasers.
There are two (2) types of sensor output that can connect to Hx Nitro following the correct technical
procedures:
NPN Mode
§
PNP Mode
§
Sensor Wiring:
Most sensors consist three (3) wires : GND , VCC , Output .
HX Nitro supports 12V and other open-type sensors. It uses DB9 connector that enables connections
between the Sensor input and printer.

    Delay time is a print parameter that is set in the software, Vanguard Create. It is the length of time before the printer prints after the product passes through the sensor. Setting the delay time depends on the speed of the conveyor and the distance between the print position and the printer’s nozzles. Maplejet Co www.maplejet.com technical@maplejet.com...
  • Page 3: Installation Note

    • It is best to install the sensor closer to the printer. • In order to have the highest printing speed, the delay should be as close as possible to zero. Maplejet Co www.maplejet.com technical@maplejet.com Release Date: 18/07/2019...
