Stable Detection Background-Suppression-Type 
 

• 

Background influences are eliminated by a unique optical system for setting the detection distance 

 

• 

Small black-/white-error 
 

• 

Independant against ambient light 

 

• 

Sensing distance mechanically adjustable: 
BGS setting distance:  150... 900 mm 
Detecting distance: 

0 -750 mm 

 

• 

Small housing-case specially designed for conveyer-application (only 8 
mm of thickness on the top of the housing) 
 

• 

Nearly no blind-zone by using additional receiver 
 

• 

Easy BGS-adjustment by 6-turn-knob 
 

• 

Sensitivity adjustment for near side detector 
 

• 

Stability function indication by blinking LED 
 

• 

Integrated jamming control unit (Only F3C-AA42-3J) 
 

• 

Confirms to relevant EN/IEC standards, CE 

 

 

Example for sensing characteristics (detection 
area) in conveyer application and description of 
setting the minimum and maximum 
Background Suppression (BGS) function
