Industrial Autonics BW40-18P through beam sensor with 7 meter detection range

Product Specification

Product Overview

The D-44 BW Series Area Sensor is a high-performance through-beam type sensor designed for long-distance detection up to 7m. It offers a broad sensing height range and minimizes unsensing areas with a 20mm optical axis pitch. Featuring high-brightness LEDs for easy visibility from multiple angles and distances, this sensor includes advanced functions such as self-diagnosis, mutual interference prevention, and external diagnosis. Its robust IP65 protection structure makes it suitable for demanding industrial environments.

Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting Guide:

Proper Usage

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