1 Product Description
Advanced Sensor with Dual Displays for use with Plastic and Glass Fiber Optic Assemblies
• World-class long-range sensing capability, more than 3 m (10 ft) with opposed
mode fibers
• Models with high visibility red or extreme high-power infrared sensing beams
available
• Cross-talk avoidance function allows seven inspections in dense sensing point
applications
• Energy efficient light resistance enables stable detection in industrial lighting
environments
• High power amplifier with small core fibers enables precise position sensing of
small components
• 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 through
displays and switches/buttons or remote input teach wire
• Expert TEACH and SET methods ensure optimal gain and threshold for all
applications, especially for high speed or 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 shortens start-up time and maintains signal stability
during operation
• ECO (economy) display reduces amplifier power consumption by 25%
• Sleek 10 mm wide housing mounts to 35 mm DIN rail
WARNING:
• Do not use this device for personnel protection
• Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
• This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on)
or de-energized (off) output condition.

To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, replace the suffix "2M" with "Q3" in the model
number. For example, DF-G3-KD-Q3.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, replace the suffix "2M" with "Q5" in the
model number. For example, DF-G3-KD-Q5.
•
To order the 4-pin M8/Pico-style integral quick disconnect model, replace the suffix "2M" with "Q7" in the model number. For example,
DF-G3-KD-Q7.
•
Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.
