Here are the most important distinguishing features of the two versions:
1.2.1 FR 85-2 ILLG – POL5
•
Detection range 0 … 6 m
•
Aperture angle horizontal ± 7.5 degrees; vertical ± 3.5 degrees
•
Two PNP N.C. outputs Q1, Q2

The FR 85-2 ILLG – POL5 sensor is connected to the vehicle control system via the two PNP switching
outputs; one switching signal (Q1) can thus be used to change the speed of travel to slow, the second
switching signal (Q2) acts as a stop signal.
It is possible to switch between two pre-set pairs of switching distances for Q1 and Q2 via the E1

input.
This function is of help when positioning vehicles carrying greatly overhanging loads. The vehicles can thus
travel close up when unloaded but keep to a greater distance when loaded.
Both signal outputs are N.C. so that there is protection from breakage in the connection cable.
The four signal points (close / far for both Q1 and Q2) are programmed via a set-up box (part no.
533-11016).
The set-up box is connected between the RailPilot and connection cable for sensor programming and has a
serial RS232 interface. Distance values for switch points can be programmed using parameter software
available for PC (Windows). This software is available free of charge.
Advantages:
It is very easy to integrate it in existing installations.
Sensor settings are easy to reproduce and can be recorded.
Sensors can be easily pre-set outside the installation (short commissioning time).
