Optical Barrier V3

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Optical Barrier V3 is a sensor designed for detecting hot or cold products in harsh environments. It features a visible red diode emission and is insensitive to ambient light. The device is housed in a cast aluminum case with options for air purging and water cooling.
Applications and Benefits: The Optical Barrier V3 works with a reflector (refer to literature E 3990) and offers modular construction for easy maintenance. It includes alignment and checking devices, such as a sensitivity potentiometer and light indicators, and provides an alarm signal when the lens or reflector is dirty.
Presentation: The system comprises an optical unit with an emitting diode, a reception photodiode, electronics, and a power supply. It also includes a terminal block or connector with a high-temperature cable and a hood for lens protection. An optional water-cooling plate is available for high-temperature environments.
Operating Principle: The sensor emits a modulated beam that is reflected by a prism reflector. The photodiode detects the beam, and the electronics process the signal to determine product presence based on beam interruption. The system is designed to be insensitive to ambient light.
Commissioning: The beam path can be located under low ambient light or by observing the brightest position of the emitter LED. Mechanical orientation involves positioning the sensor near the product and reflector. Detection accuracy is adjusted using the sensitivity potentiometer.
Performance Specifications: The sensor operates over distances of 0 to 15 m or 0 to 30 m, depending on the reflector used. It features various output models, including transistor, isolated solid state relay, and relay outputs, with specific electrical characteristics and response times.
Technical Characteristics: The Optical Barrier V3 offers different operating modes and LED indicators for beam status. It supports various operating voltages and has a power consumption of 10 VA or 8 W. The device is protected by an IP67-rated cast aluminum case and can operate in temperatures from -20 to 70 °C without cooling, or up to 120 °C with water cooling.
Connection and Ordering: The sensor is available with different connection options, including terminal blocks and connectors. Specific models and configurations can be ordered based on application requirements.
