Compact & Long Range Laser Distance Sensor Compact & Long Range Laser Distance Sensor HG-F1 Series The laser distance sensor HG-F1 series features a lightweight and high-strength aluminum diecast case with a built-in TOF sensor module. Determines distance by measuring the time for the emitted beam to be reflected and return so that a single model can cover a measurement range of 250 to 3,000 mm 9.843 to 118.110 in. Capable of long-range sensing of up to 3 m 9.843 ft The sensor unit can be installed and set up anywhere so that equipment designing flexibility can be enhanced. Distance...

HG-F1 SERIES Selectable use of spot beam according to specific usage conditions Emitted beam spot check mode Work efficiency can be improved by selecting the most suitable spot beam type from the two options according to specific usage conditions. The spot beam emitted for measurement blends in with the surroundings to minimize the discomfort resulting from the laser that comes into the field of vision. During installation / adjustment, the emitted beam spot check mode allows clear recognition of the beam spot and enables the reliable confirmation of sensing position even in the case of...

The timer operation can be selected from “off delay timer”, “on delay timer”, “one-shot timer” and “no timer”. The timer period can also be selected.* Off delay timer Sensing level One-shot timer * The timer period can be selected from the following: 5 ms, 10 ms, 25 ms, 50 ms, 100 ms, 250 ms, 500 ms, 1,000 ms and 5,000 ms. < Function > Extends the signal output for the set timer period. < Usage > Useful when the connected device is slow to respond and the ON time is required to be extended. On delay timer < Function > Overrides the signal output for the set timer period after the detection....

Notes: 1) Value obtained using a sheet of white non-glossy paper measuring 200 * 200 mm 7.874 * 7.874 in 2) These values were defined by using 1/e2 (approx. 13.5%) of the center light intensity. Due to leak light outside the defined range, the measurement values may be affected if the reflectance around the detecting point is higher than that of the detecting point. OPTIONS Designation Simple mounting bracket WIRING DIAGRAMS HG-F13A-A-N NPN output type Non-voltage contact or NPN open-collector transistor • External input Invalid: +8 V to +V DC or open Valid: 0 to +1.2 V DC Note: Insulate...

Unless otherwise specified, measurement conditions are as follows: Power supply voltage of 24 VDC, ambient temperature of +20 °C +68 ° , response time of 100 ms, and measuring distance of 1,000 mm 39.370 in. The target object is a 200 mm * 200 mm 7.874 in *7.874 in white non-glossy paper. Perform measurement 30 minutes after turning on the power supply. When an object is detected, the range of numerical values that appear on the digital display is regarded as the displayable distance. When zero setting is performed, the displayable distance varies depending on the zero setting distance....
