Fiber Optic Cable Sensor
1. Proper Use
This wenglor product is used in accordance with the following mode of operation:
Both plastic fiber optic cables and glass fiber optic cables can be connected to fiber optic cable sensors.
Universal reflex sensors can be used both with and without fiber optic cables. Fiber optic cable sensors ana-
lyze the light reflected by the object. The output switches when an object reaches the selected range (detec-
tion) or when the active light beam is interrupted (operating limits). Bright objects reflect more light than dark
objects, and can thus be recognized from greater distances. In barrier operation, the color of the object has
no effect on the range.
2. Safety Precautions
• This operating instruction is part of the product and must be kept during its entire service life.
• Read this operating instruction carefully before using the product.
• Installation, start-up and maintenance of this product has only to be carried out by trained personnel.
• Tampering with or modifying the product is not permissible.
• Protect the product against contamination during start-up.
• Not a safety component in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive.
3. General Information Regarding the Product
Three wenglor fiber optic cables can be adapted to these Sensors. Up to 12 add-on modules can be con-
nected to this basic module, making 15 fiber optic cables available. The modern OLED display assures easy,
menu-driven Sensor setup. Signal strengths and the switching threshold can be read from the display as
numeric values or as a bar graph. Convenient programming and quick diagnosis is possible via the IO-Link
interface.
