Product Description

Product Overview

The D-44 BW Series Area Sensor is a high-performance through-beam type sensor designed for long-range 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- models) minimizes unsensing areas, ensuring comprehensive coverage. High-brightness LEDs on both the emitter and receiver provide clear visibility from side, front, and long distances. The sensor incorporates essential functions such as self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis, along with an IP65 protection structure for robust operation in various environments. It is suitable for applications requiring precise detection over extended distances.

Operation Indicator

Indicator LED Color Status Meaning
Emitter Green POWER Stable light ON
Receiver Yellow - Unstable
Emitter Red TEST (M/S) Stable light OFF

Functions

  • Self-diagnosis: Emitter/Receiver monitoring, direct light monitoring, over current monitoring. Control output turns OFF and operation indicator displays status upon error.
  • Interference protection: Master/slave function to prevent sensing errors when using multiple sensors in parallel.
  • External diagnosis: When TEST input (black) of emitter is 0V, emitting stops, and the red LED of the emitter flashes. This allows external systems to verify sensor operation.

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 the 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.
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.

Proper Usage

  • Follow instructions in 'Proper Usage'. Otherwise, it may cause unexpected accidents.
  • 12-24VDC power supply should be insulated and limited voltage/current or Class 2, SELV power supply device.
  • Use the product 1 second after supplying power. When using a separate power supply for the sensor and load, supply power to the sensor first.
  • When using a switching mode power supply, ground F.G. terminal and connect a condenser between 0V and F.G. terminal to remove noise.
  • When connecting a DC relay or other inductive load, remove surge by using diodes or varistors.
  • Wire as short as possible and keep away from high voltage lines or power lines, to prevent surge and inductive noise.
  • This unit may be used in the following environments:
    • Indoors (in the environment condition rated in 'Specifications')
    • Altitude max. 2,000m
    • Pollution degree 2
    • Installation category II
