3. Produto rematadoview

The AUTONICS BX700-DDT is a diffuse reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable object detection. It operates by emitting light and detecting the reflected light from the target object. This model features a 700mm sensing distance and offers both NPN and PNP output types with selectable Light ON/Dark ON operation.

5. Instalación e configuración

5.1 Montaxe

Mount the sensor securely using appropriate brackets and fasteners. Ensure the sensing surface is clear of obstructions and positioned correctly relative to the target object. Avoid mounting the sensor where it may be exposed to excessive vibration or impact.

5.2 Consideracións ambientais

Temperatura: Operar dentro do rango de temperatura especificado para garantir un rendemento óptimo.
Humidade: Avoid environments with high humidity or condensation.
Light Interference: Minimize exposure to strong ambient light sources, such as direct sunlight or high-intensity lamps, which can interfere with sensing.
Po e sucidade: Keep the sensing surface clean to maintain reliable detection.

6. Cableado

Proper wiring is crucial for the sensor's functionality and safety. Refer to the wiring diagram typically found on the product label or in the full technical datasheet. The BX700-DDT supports both NPN and PNP output configurations.

General Wiring Guide:

Fío marrón: Connect to +VDC (12-24 VDC).
Fío azul: Connect to 0V / GND.
Fío negro: NPN Output.
Fío branco: PNP Output.

Importante: Asegúrese de que a polaridade e o volume sexan correctostage. Incorrect wiring can damage the sensor or connected equipment. Always disconnect power before making or changing wiring connections.

7. Funcionamento

7.1 Encendido

After completing installation and wiring, apply power to the sensor. The power indicator (if present) should illuminate.

7.2 Light ON / Dark ON Selection

The BX700-DDT allows selection between Light ON and Dark ON operation modes. This selection is typically made via a switch or button on the sensor body. Refer to Figure 2 for potential switch locations.

Light ON (NO - Normally Open): The output turns ON when light is received (object detected).
Dark ON (NC - Normally Closed): The output turns ON when light is NOT received (no object detected, or object blocks light).

7.3 Axuste da sensibilidade

For diffuse reflective sensors, sensitivity adjustment may be necessary to optimize detection for specific target objects and distances. This is often done via a potentiometer or push-button on the sensor. Adjust the sensitivity while observing the output indicator (OUT) to ensure reliable detection of the target and non-detection of background objects.

8. Mantemento

Regular maintenance ensures consistent performance and extends the lifespan of your sensor.

Limpeza: Periodically clean the sensing surface with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
Inspección: Check wiring connections for looseness or damage. Inspect the sensor body for any physical damage.
Verificación ambiental: Ensure the operating environment remains within specified conditions (temperature, humidity, dust).

9 Solución de problemas

Problema	Causa posible	Solución
O sensor non se acende	No power supply, incorrect wiring, faulty power supply.	Comprobe as conexións de alimentación e o volumetage. Verificar a funcionalidade da fonte de alimentación.
No detection / Unreliable detection	Incorrect sensing distance, dirty lens, ambient light interference, incorrect sensitivity setting, target material/color.	Adjust sensing distance. Clean lens. Reduce ambient light. Adjust sensitivity. Consider target properties.
Constant ON/OFF output	Incorrect Light ON/Dark ON setting, background interference, sensor misalignment.	Verify Light ON/Dark ON mode. Remove background interference. Realign sensor.
