determined from Figure 32. The temperature is based on the supply voltage that is
fed to the photoelectric sensor. For example, if the operating voltage is 120V AC,
the maximum operating temperature would be 70 °C (158 °F). An operating voltage
of 220V AC would limit the ambient operating temperature to 55 °C (131 °F).
Operation of the photoelectric sensor at ambient temperatures that exceed these
limits could result in sensor failure.

Mounting and Wiring

Securely mount the photoelectric sensor on a firm, stable surface or support. A
mount that is subject to excessive vibration or shifts can cause intermittent
operation. Rockwell Automation offers a wide variety of fixed and adjustable
mounting brackets and reflectors and quick disconnect cables. The photoelectric
sensor is supplied with the hardware kit #129-130, which contains a plastic
mounting nut, lock washer, and two M5 x 0.8 x 53 screws and nuts. Once securely
mounted, the photoelectric sensor can be wired as indicated in the wiring
diagrams.

All models of the Series 9000 photoelectric sensor, except for models with the
solid-state output (catalog number 42Gxx-9xx3) and the EM-relay output (catalog
number 42Gxx-9xx2), have a maximum operating temperature of 70 °C (158 °F). The
maximum operating temperature of models 42Gxx-9xx3 and 42Gxx-9xx2 can be

sensor is in the unlocked position.

2. Insert the fiber-optic cable until the
internal clip mechanism is engaged

3. Rotate the locking lever to the lock
position.

4. Mount the fiber-optic cable sensing tip end as appropriate.

Wiring the Photoelectric Sensor

The Series 9000 photoelectric sensor is available in one of three different
connection types as identified in Specifications
of the 889 Series of cordsets and patchcords on the quick disconnect models. All

User Interface

To gain access to the user interface panel, use a screwdriver to open the top cover
of the photoelectric sensor. This panel contains a single-turn sensitivity
adjustment knob, a two-position mode selector switch, and three status indicators.
Use the screwdriver to increase (clockwise) or decrease (counterclockwise) the
sensitivity to meet the application requirements. The factory default setting for all
versions is maximum sensitivity.

IMPORTANT Damage to the single-turn sensitivity adjustment knob

Figure 33 - 42GRx Top Vie w Detai l

The Series 9000 photoelectric sensor also contains a two-position selector switch.
This switch is used to select either Light- or Dark-operate mode of the
photoelectric sensor. In Light-operate mode, the photoelectric sensor output turns
on when light is being reflected back to it (reflector for retroreflective, source for
transmitted beam, or target for diffuse). In Dark-operate mode, the photoelectric
sensor output turns off when no light is being reflected back to it. See Table 6

Photoelectric Sensor Alignment

The red status indicator is an alignment aid, which indicates that a margin of 2.5X,
is reached. At this margin, the photoelectric sensor is receiving at least 2.5 times
the signal strength back from the target that triggers an output signal. A higher
margin is recommended to help overcome any deteriorating environmental
conditions, such as dust buildup on the lens of the photoelectric sensor. When
aligning the photoelectric sensor, the best performance is obtained if the margin
indicator illuminates with the target in place. We recommend leaving the
sensitivity at the default maximum setting and change the setting only when
necessary.

Transmitted Beam Versions

1. Visually align the emitter and receiver units (fibers) until the green output
status indicator turns on (with Light-operate mode) or turns off (with Dark­operate mode).

2. To be certain that the beam is centered, sweep the emitter or receiver in
the horizontal and vertical plane and determine at what position the
output indicator turns on and then turns off. Set the sensor
(or fiber-optics) midway between both positions. The red margin status
indicator is on when the beam is unbroken.

After initial photoelectric sensor configuration, confirm

specified environmental ratings.

2. To be certain that the beam is centered, sweep the sensor in the
horizontal and vertical plane and determine at what position the output
indicator goes turns and then turns off. Set the sensor (or fiber-optics)
midway between both positions.

3. Break the beam with the object to be detected and check if the output
status indicator turns on (Dark-operate mode). If necessary, turn down the
sensitivity adjustment until the output status indicator turns on. Remove
the object to restore the light beam and check if the output status
indicator turns off again and that the red margin status indicator turns on.
If the status indicates do not change, increase the size of the reflector or
decrease the distance between the reflector and the photoelectric sensor.

Diffuse Mode

1. Visually align the sensor (or fiber-optic cable) on the object until the green
output status indicator turns on (with Light-operate mode) or turns off
(Dark-operate mode).

2. To be certain that the beam is centered, sweep the sensor in the
horizontal and vertical plane and determine at what position the output
indicator goes on and then goes off. Set the sensor (or fiber-optics)
midway between both positions.

3. Remove the object in front of the sensor and eliminate any existing
background signals by turning down the sensitivity adjustment. Replace
the object and verify that the output status indicator turns on and that the
margin status indicator is on. If the sensor continues to pick up
background reflections, you must either eliminate those reflections (paint
with a nonreflective color), or replace the photoelectric sensor with a
background suppression, a sharp cutoff diffuse, or a Retroreflective
Sensing mode version.

42GSP- 9000 Models

User Interface

Use a screwdriver to open the top cover of the photoelectric sensor to gain access
to the user interface panel. This panel contains two push buttons and three status
indicators. The left push button puts the photoelectric sensor into Teach mode
while the right-hand button is for light/dark operate selection.

Teach M ode

The Teach mode of the 42GSP-9000 photoelectric sensor enables the it to learn
both the light and dark conditions that are presented to it and to automatically
adjust sensitivity to the optimal level for the application. This mode replaces the
sensitivity adjustment knob of a conventional photoelectric sensor.

With the photoelectric sensor pointed at the light condition (target), momentarily
press the Teach button until the red status indicator turns on. After 3 seconds, this
status indicator flashes, which indicates that it is ready to receive the dark
condition (background). The red status indicator momentarily remains steady, then
turns off, which indicates that the teach operation was successful.

The 42GSP-9000 photoelectric sensor also contains a two-position push button.
This button selects either Light- or Dark-operate mode of the photoelectric sensor.
In Light-operate mode, the photoelectric sensor output turns on when light is
reflected back to it (indicated by the output status indicator being on). In
Dark-operate mode, the photoelectric sensor output turns on when no light is
reflected back to it.

Some versions of the Series 9000 photoelectric sensor also contain a four-bank
DIP switch (S1...S4) and two rotary knobs (R2 and R3). These devices are used to
configure internal on, off, and one-shot time delays making it possible to provide
some degree of local control in an application.

Application Example

Product travels down a conveyor. If the product is a white box, a kicker located 3
seconds down the conveyor activates to push the box down another conveyor. The
kicker must extend and retract for 1 second. The sensor is a 42GTP-9000
photoelectric sensor. In this application, an on and off delay are required. Set the
first DIP switch (S1) to TD position. Switch (S2) is set to LT position. Switch (S3) is
set to L position for a 3 second delay. Switch (S4) is set to the S position. The delay
is adjusted by turning the on delay pot clockwise until the proper delay time is set.
The off delay pot is turned clockwise so to set the 1 second off delay.
