4. Informació de seguretat

Always observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product and associated equipment:

• Assegureu-vos que la font d'alimentació voltage matches the product's specifications (DC10-30V). Incorrect voltagi pot danyar el dispositiu.
• Desconnecteu l'alimentació abans de realitzar qualsevol instal·lació, cablejat o manteniment.
• Installation should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with industrial electrical systems.
• Avoid installing the sensor in areas with excessive vibration, direct sunlight, or extreme temperatures outside its operating range.
• Do not disassemble or modify the sensor. Unauthorized modifications will void the warranty and may lead to malfunction or safety hazards.
• Protect the sensor from strong impacts or mechanical stress.

5. Configuració

5.1 Muntatge

The U-shaped design allows for easy mounting. Secure the sensor using appropriate fasteners through the mounting holes located on the top of the unit. Ensure the sensor is firmly fixed to prevent movement during operation. Position the sensor so that objects to be detected pass cleanly through the U-shaped trough.

Figure 3: Sensor Mounting Points. This image highlights the U-shaped sensor's design, showing the detection area and the pre-drilled holes for secure mounting.

5.2 Cablejat

The photoelectric switch uses a 3-wire NPN configuration. Connect the wires as follows:

• Fil marró: Connect to the positive (+) terminal of the DC10-30V power supply.
• Filferro blau: Connect to the negative (-) terminal (GND) of the DC10-30V power supply.
• Fil negre: This is the NPN Normally Open (NO) output. Connect it to the input of your control circuit (e.g., PLC, relay). When an object is detected, this output will switch to a low state (close to GND).

Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ben fixades i degudament aïllades per evitar curtcircuits.

6. Instruccions de funcionament

Once properly installed and wired, the photoelectric switch operates automatically:

• Principi de detecció: The U-shaped sensor contains an infrared light emitter on one side and a receiver on the opposite side. When an object passes through the trough, it interrupts the light beam.
• NPN Normally Open Output: In its normal state (no object detected, beam unobstructed), the NPN output (black wire) is open (high impedance). When an object interrupts the light beam, the output switches to a closed state (low impedance, connected to GND), signaling detection to the connected control circuit.
• Temps de resposta: The sensor's fast switching frequency of less than 300Hz allows it to detect rapidly moving objects accurately.

Ensure that the objects to be detected are within the 30mm detection distance and are opaque enough to reliably block the infrared light beam.

7. Manteniment

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your photoelectric switch:

• Neteja: Periodically clean the emitter and receiver surfaces within the U-shaped trough using a soft, dry cloth. Dust, dirt, or debris can interfere with detection. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspecció: Regularly inspect the sensor housing and cable for any signs of physical damage, wear, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly.
• Control ambiental: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified temperature and humidity ranges, and free from excessive vibration or corrosive substances.
