Sensor Series TA / RA & TS / RS offers considerable advantages within flexible installation compared to conventional compact systems.
Direct installation
Objects that re-fract the optical connection be-tween the sensors make the output to change its status.
Proximity installation
Objects that pass in front of the sensors and create an optical connection make the output change status.
Background suppression
If the sensors is installed in an angle the system reach will be reduced enabling the systems to be used e.g. for height detection.
Mirror installation
Any object that passes inbe-tween the mirror and the sensors makes the output change its status. Be aware of certain proximity sensor effect.
Around corners
Other installa-tions could be "shoot around corners" by way of one or several mirrors.
The possibilities are infinite !
Small dimensions, extensive reach
The combination of extremely small sensors dimensions of Ø10 L30mm and a reach of up to 25 m (TA/RA) & 12 m (TS/RS), facillitates that the sensors can be built into any machine even in locations with very poor accessibility.
Insensitive to dirt and dust
A dirty/dusty environment is not normally associated with the use of photo cells. Only Ø5 mm of the sensor's Ø10 mm surface forms the light sensitive part. This lins free design creates a light sensitivity, whitch results in surface build dirt/dust being easily penetrated.
Setting and vibrations
In connection with installation and operation on machinery with servere vibration and over long distances the usage of optical sensors is often connected with major setting and operation difficulties. The sensor series TA10 / RA10 (to be used with controller CA-S or CA-D) and TS10 / RS10 (self-contain design) is fully sealed in order to ensure tightness (IP67) and prevent operations errors due to vibrations.
The optical design ensures controlled opening angles and thus a simplification of sensor setting even over long distances.
The transmitter TA10 1 is foreseen with a test & adjustment feature. It is possible to disable the output and/or set the TS10 1 in Low or High power mode and a potentiometer to adjust the intensification.
