INFRARED BEAM PHOTOCELL FT30AV

General

The photoelectric barrier FT30AV has been projected for applications in which it is necessary to apply two overlapping photocells,
avoiding that they go in collision one with the other. To get such result it is sufficiant to power supply the photocells with 12/24 V~ and
to cross the power supply. (Ex. When the TX and RX of a photocell are power supplied with a black cable around 0 V~ and with a red
cable of 24V~, the TX and the RX of the other photocell will have to have the red cable with 0 V~ and the black cable around 24
V~.)

Technical Characteristics

The Photocell Kit Consists of:
1 No. Photocell Receiver
1 No. Photocell Transmitter
1 No. Fixing Kit
4 No. cover-screw cap
1 No. Set of fitting instructions

* The range of the device can be reduced in case
of bad weather conditions (fog, rain, etc..).

INSTALLATION

Transmitter

-Insert the cables in the special seat and make the connections according to the type of application, 12 or 24V~ or V , synchronized
or not synchronized.

-Adjust the cable within the unit to eliminate any surplus.

-Fix the unit.

-Seal the cover & cable entry to prevent insect infestation.

Nominal range: 30 m*
Signal: Modulated infrared
Wave length: 880 nm
Modulation Frequency: 1000 Hz
Supply Voltage: 12 - 24 V / V~
Absorbed Current: 30mA TX; 30mA RX
Temp. Operating Range: -15° C / +60° C
Relay Contact Rating: 1A max; 24V
Humidity: from 5% to 90% no
condensation

Receiver

-Insert the cables into the special seat and make the connections accoriding to the type of application chosen for the transmitter, 12/
24V~ or V , synchronized or not synchronized.

-Adjust the cable within the unit to eliminate any surplus.

-Make sure that the receiver is in frontal position, lined up on the same axis and in the same height of the associated transmitter. Act
on the lens adjustment if necessary (see fig.6-7).

-Seal the cover & cable entry to prevent insect infestation.
Once executed the preceding operations for both Tx and for Rx:

-Power supply the photocells 12-24V~ or V and verify their alignment. If the positioning, the alignment and the connection of the
photocells are correct, the red LED on the receiver will be switched on.

Please note: For the syncronized function, the power supply has to be necessarily of 12/24 V~ (alternating current).

Operational Verification

Fit one of the black plastic photocell covers complete with an opaque diffuser label stuck across the lens.

- Check that the relay works correctly.

- Check that the red led goes out when the beam is broken.

Red led Function:

RED LED LIT: ALIGNED
YELLOW LED ON: NOT ALIGNED OR BAD ALIGNMENT

SECURITY

The 23102160 device cannot be used as security device (EN 12978).
