1 - INTRODUCTION
The CPO optical counting sensor is a detection tool which, thanks to its sensitivity and
adjustment characteristics, is the answer to all counting problems for objects in any
material or shape, both free falling and forced.
It also offers the opportunity not to count objects in sizes under those desired, such as
machining waste for example, which could accidentally cross the reading area.
2 – WARNINGS
- ATTENTION: for correct use of the equipment, it is essential to comply with the
instructions in this manual. You are advised to read each part of it carefully before
start-up, to prevent possible damage due to improper actions.
- The equipment MUST NEVER be used as a detection device to protect people.
- Do not use the equipment in environments with a dangerous atmosphere
(inflammable or explosive).
- Only use in enclosed environments not subject to water sprays.
- Avoid fumes or mist passing through the reading area, which could cause false
readings or detection loss.
- The power supply must comply with the operating voltage planned and it is preferred
not to share such supply with motors, relays or solenoids whose activation could
reduce sensitivity or cause false detections.
- Connect the body of the sensor to the ground, using the best support to reject external
electrical disturbance.
- Avoid sunlight or stroboscopic flashes directly striking the equipment.
