WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your
cur
rent Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
The FI22FP is an easy-to-use, low-profile fiber optic sensor. It provides high-performance
sensing in low-contrast applications and its small size lets it mount almost anywhere.
Configuration options include SETUP mode plus static, dynamic and single-point TEACHmode programming, in addition to manual fine adjustment, remote programming and
security lockout options.
The sensor has bipolar outputs, one each NPN and PNP.
The sensor’s compact housing has a large, easy-to-see bargraph display plus bright LEDs
for easy programming and status monitoring during operation. The sensor quickly snapmounts to its custom bracket (included with sensor).
Sensor Programming
Sensor configuration is accomplished through TEACH-mode programming and SETUP
mode. After TEACH mode has defined the sensing parameters, SETUP mode may be used
to enable the delay or to change the light/dark operate status. Manual Adjust may be used
to fine-tune the thresholds (see page 9). Two push buttons, Dynamic (+) and Static (-), or
the remote wire, may be used to access and set programming parameters.
Sensor programming may be accomplished using any of three TEACH methods. A single
switching threshold may be programmed using either dynamic (on-the-fly) or static TEACH.
In addition, single-point static TEACH may be used to define a sensing window, centered on
a single taught condition. Single-point TEACH can be accomplished only statically.
Remote Programming
The Remote Programming function may be used to program the sensor remotely or to
disable the push buttons for security. Connect the gray wire of the sensor to ground (0V
dc), with a remote programming switch connected between them. Pulse the remote line
according to the diagrams in the programming procedures. The length of the individual
gramming pulses is equal to the value T:
ro
p
0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds
Returning to RUN Mode
TEACH and SETUP modes each may be exited either after the 60-second time-out, or by
exiting the process:
static TEACH mode, press and hold the Static (-) button (or hold the remote line) for 2
• In
seconds. The sensor returns to RUN mode without saving any new settings.
• In
SETUP mode, press and hold both the Static (-) and Dynamic (+) buttons (or hold
the remote line) for 2 seconds. The sensor returns to RUN mode and saves the current
setting.
• Threshold position is adjustable using “+” and “-” buttons (Manual Adjust)
Two-Point TEACH is the traditional setup method, used when two conditions can be
presented by the user. The sensor locates a single sensing threshold (the switch point)
midway between the two taught conditions, with the Output ON condition on one side, and
the Output OFF condition on the other (see Figure 2).
The first condition taught is the ON condition. The Output ON and OFF conditions can be
reversed by changing Light/Dark Operate status in SETUP mode.
Two-Point TEACH and Manual Adjust
Using Manual Adjust with Two-Point TEACH moves the switching threshold. The lighted
LED on the bargraph will move to exhibit the relative amount of received signal.

Dynamic TEACH is best used when a machine or process may not be stopped for
teaching. A variation of two-point TEACH, it programs the sensor during actual machine
run conditions, taking multiple samples of the light and dark conditions and automatically
setting the threshold at the optimum level (see Figure 3).
amic TEACH activates the sensor’s adaptive threshold system, which continuously
yn
D
tracks minimum and maximum signal levels, and automatically maintains centering of the
switch point between the light and dark conditions. The adaptive threshold system remains
in effect during RUN mode. The adaptive routine saves to non-volatile memory at least once
per hour.
n Dynamic TEACH mode is used, the output ON state (light or dark operate) will remain
he
W
as it was last programmed. To change the output ON state, use SETUP mode (see page 7).
The
sensing set point may be adjusted (fine-tuned) whenever the sensor is in RUN mode by
clicking the “+” and “-” buttons. However, when a manual adjustment is made, the adaptive
thr
eshold system is disabled (cancelled).

Single-Point TEACH is most useful when a product may not always appear in the same
place, or when other signals may appear. Single-point TEACH programs a sensing window,
with the Output ON condition inside the window, and the Output OFF conditions outside the
window (see Figure 4). Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by changing Light/
Dark Operate status in SETUP mode.
Single-Point TEACH programming may be accomplished only using Static TEACH. The
sensor learns a single sensing condition, and adds switching thresholds above and below
the taught condition to create a sensing window.
Single-Point TEACH and Manual Adjust
Using Manual Adjust with Single-Point TEACH expands or contracts the size of the window.
The lighted LEDs on the light bar separate to a greater or lesser extent to exhibit the relative
sensing window size.

NOTES: • If SETUP mode programming is interrupted and remains inactive for 60
seconds, the sensor returns to RUN mode with the most recent settings
(i.e., exits and saves current selection).
•
SETUP mode operates in the “background”, while the outputs are active.
Manual Adjust
Use during Run mode, accomplished via push buttons only.
Two-Point TEACH (Static or Dynamic):
• Fine-tunes sensing sensitivity
• Press “+” to increase; press “-” to decrease
Single-Point TEACH:
• Adjusts sensing window size (tolerance) for the single-point target condition
• Press “+” to increase; press “-” to decrease
The lighted bargraph LEDs move to reflect the increase or decrease.
Push Button Disable
In addition to its programming function, Remote Programming may be used to disable the
push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents undesired tampering with
the programming settings. Connect the gray wire of the sensor as described on page 9, and
