Product Tracking Sensor

Features

• Increased operating range

The operating distance is three times that of the conventional model.

• Rotary microwaves elimate false detection

When rotary microwaves are reflected off an object their direction of rotation is reversed. The receiver is tuned to reject spurious reflections according to their rotation. False actuation caused by reflected waves is thus eliminated.

• Unaffected by adverse environments

This sensor is unaffected by heat, flames, airborne particles or vapor.

• Simple beam alignment

Easy initial beam alignment at installation, due to the wide beam angle.

• Selectable detection mode

Either broken beam (BLOCK) or unbroken beam (UNBLOCK) detection method may be selected.

• No set-to-set interference

Four channels are available, selectable by rotary switch. This permits the use of multiple units in close proximity to each other.

• Power level & sensitivity indicators

The received power level and the sensitivity-set-point are indicated on the receiver by a bank of 15 LEDs, allowing for easy adjustment and maintenance of the sensors.

• Analog Output (optional)

The receiving power level is output as an analog current (4mA~20mA). This allows detection of very small changes in receiving power, useful for detection of bar and billet where the change in receiving power is sometimes insufficient to activate the relay.
It also performs as a self-diagnostic function; constant monitoring of the receiving power level ensures early detection of any malfunction of the sensor.

• Inspection window (optional)

The received power level and the sensitivity-set-point are easily seen, without removing the controller cover.

• Solid state output

Highly reliable solid state output relay minimizes mechanical failure.

• Enclosure rating IP65 equivalent
