Product Overview
The D-44 BW Series Area Sensor is a through-beam type photoelectric sensor designed for long-distance detection up to 7 meters. It offers a wide range of configurations with 22 product types, featuring optical axis pitches of 20mm or 40mm and sensing heights from 120mm to 940mm. The 20mm optical axis pitch (BW20-) minimizes unsensing areas, while high-brightness LEDs on both the emitter and receiver ensure easy recognition from various angles and distances. This sensor includes essential functions such as self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis, and boasts an IP65 protection structure for robust environmental resistance.

| Troubleshooting Cause | Troubleshooting |
|---|---|
| Not operating | Power supply: Supply the rated power. Incorrect cable connection or disconnection: Check the wiring. Rated connection failure: Use it within rated sensing distance. |
| Not operating sometimes | Pollution by dirt of sensor cover: Remove dirt by soft brush or cloth. Connector connection failure: Check the assembled part of the connector. |
| Control output is OFF even though there is no target object. | Out of rated sensing distance: Use within the rated sensing distance. There is an obstacle to cut off the light emitted between emitter and receiver: Remove the obstacle. There is a strong electric wave or noise generated by motor, electric generator, high voltage line etc.: Put away the strong electric wave or noise generator. |
| LED displays for break of light emitting element | Break of light emitting element |
| LED displays for failure of emitter | Break of light emitting circuit |
| LED displays for failure of receiver | Break of light emitting receiving element |
| LED displays for synchronous line | Synchronous line incorrect connection or disconnection: Check the wiring. Break of synchronous circuit of emitter or receiver: Contact Autonics Corp. |
| LED displays for control output over current | Control output line is shorten: Check the wiring. Over load: Check the rated load capacity. |
| LED displays for emitter malfunction | Emitter malfunction: Treat after checking the emitter display LED. |

There can be a little different based on installation environment.
Avoid using the unit in the place where the sensor is exposed directly to the fluorescent light with high speed start or high frequency.
