Product Description

Product Overview

The D-44 BW Series Area Sensor is a high-performance through-beam type 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 and 40mm, and sensing heights from 120mm to 940mm. The 20mm optical axis pitch minimizes unsensing areas, making it ideal for precise detection. Enhanced visibility is achieved through high-brightness LEDs on both the emitter and receiver, ensuring easy recognition from various angles and distances. The sensor is equipped with a self-diagnosis function, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis capabilities for reliable operation. Its robust IP65 protection structure (IEC standard) makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

  • Self-diagnosis: Emitter/Receiver monitoring, direct light monitoring, over current monitoring.
  • Interference protection: Interference protection by master/slave function.
  • External diagnosis: When TEST input (black) of emitter is 0V, emitting stops and red LED of emitter flashes.

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.
  • 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 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.

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 sec after supplying power. When using separate power supply for the sensor and load, supply power to sensor first.
  • When using switching mode power supply to supply the power, 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
