Ordering KeyProduct Description

The PMP12RS is a powerfull
polarized retro reflective sen­sor. The sensor is designed
for the industrial door market.
The sensor is made in a strong
glass reinforced PC/ABS hous­ing. The long sensing distance

of 12 m makes the sensor use­full in applications where dust
and weather conditions will
influence on the sensing per­formance. The sensor fulfills
the positive safety standards,
NF P25-362, NF P25-363.

Mode of Operation

The red light beam from the
emitter (3), is generated from
the mod u la tor (5), col li mat­ed in the lens (2) and po lar­ized in the polarizor (1). The
light beam is re turned by a
triple reflector and pass es a
sec ond polarizing filter (1) and

the receiver lens (2) before
reaching the de tec tor element
(4).

The received signal is ampli­fied by the amplifier (6), and
the modulated impulses are
synchronized and detected

in the pulse detector (7). The
modulated impulses are
re cog nized in the demodula­tor (9).

The output signal from the
demodulator controls 2 re lays
(10 and 11) which are con-

nec-ted in the manner pre­scribed by the NF P25-362
standard. The centre of the
two relay contacts is avail a ble
as a check point for check ing
each con tact in di vid u al ly.

General Information about the Polarization Principle

To avoid false output sig­nals from targets with highly
re flec tive surfaces, a retro-re­flec tive photoelectric switch
can be equipped with polar­izing filters (anti-glare filters).
In this case the emitted light
first passes through a vertical

polarizing filter. The triple re­flector turns the po lar i za tion
90 degrees and reflects the
beam. The 90 degree turned
reflected light then pass­es a second polarizing filter
which enables only horizon-

tally po lar ized light to pass.
In this way, only the light
whose po lar i za tion plane has
been turned 90° by the triple
reflector will reach the re ceiv­er ele-ment. Since usual sur­faces do not depolarize the

light, the beam reflected by a
shiny tar get will not be rec­og nized as a reflector and the
switch ing el e ment will there­fore only change state when
receiving the re flec tor sig nal.
