Advanced sensor with dual digital displays for use with plastic and glass fiber optic assemblies
Features
• Easy to read dual digital displays show both signal level and threshold simultaneously
• Lever action fiber clamp provides stable, reliable, and trouble-free fiber clamping
• Simple user interface ensures easy sensor set-up and programming via displays and
switches/buttons, or remote input teach wire
• Expert TEACH and SET methods ensure optimal gain and threshold for all applica-
tions, especially low contrast applications
• User has full control over all operating parameters: threshold, Light Operate or Dark
Operate, output timing functions, gain level, and response speed
• Thermally stable electronics minimize warm-up drift and the effect of side-by-side
mounting of multiple fiber amplifiers
• ECO (economy) display mode reduces amplifier power consumption by 25%
• Cross talk avoidance algorithm allows two sensors to operate in close proximity for
many applications
• Response speeds of: 200 µs (High Speed), 500 µs (Standard), 2 ms (Long Range),
and 5 ms (Extra Long Range) allow operator to optimize for fast or long distance ap-
plications
• Sleek 10 mm wide housing mounts to 35 mm DIN standard rail
• Visible red LED sensing beam

For 9 m cable, change the suffix 2M to 9M in the 2 m model number (example, DF-G1-NS-9M).
For M12 Euro QD pigtail change the suffix 2M to Q5 in the 2 m model number (example, DF-G1-NS-Q5).
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to seri-
ous injury or death. This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to
allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an ener-
gized or de-energized sensor output condition.
