42FB General Purpose and Analog Output DIN Fiber Optic Sensors
IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.
General Purpose (Digital Output) Sensors
Description
42FB General Purpose DIN Fiber Optic Sensors are useful in
general purpose or high speed applications. Standard 250s
versions offer extended sensing ranges. High-speed 30s
versions offer a shorter sensing range, but extremely fast
response times for high speed parts counting and assembly
applications.
Each sensor can be directly DIN rail mounted. A separate
mounting bracket is also included for stand alone mounting.
Over 50 compatible standard plastic and small diameter glass
fiber optic cables are available, please refer to the
Allen-Bradley Sensors Catalog.
Features
S Pico quick-disconnect available
S No tools required to attach or remove fiber optic cables
S Dual LED indicators: Output (red), Stability (green)
S Four-turn sensitivity adjustment
S Visible red light source
S DIN rail or separate mount (with supplied bracket)
S Short circuit protection
S Reverse polarity protection
S Transient noise protection
S Switch selectable Light or Dark Operate outputs
S Switch selectable 50ms output off-delay (pulse stretcher)
Indicators
The red output indicator is ON when the detected light level is
above a margin of 1.0. The green stability indicator is ON
when the sensing application is stable, when the detected
light level is below a margin of 0.7 or above a margin of 1.2.

Analog Output Sensors
Description
42FB Analog Output Sensors provide a DC voltage output
that is proportional to the amount of transmitted or reflected
light detected. This sensor has a fast response time and good
temperature linearity as described in the Specifications
below.
Each sensor can be directly DIN rail mounted. A separate
mounting bracket is also included for stand alone mounting.
Over 50 compatible standard plastic and small diameter glass
fiber optic cables are available, please refer to the
Allen-Bradley Sensors catalog.

S Four-turn sensitivity adjustment
S Visible red light source
S DIN rail or separate mount (with supplied bracket)
S Short circuit protection

S Transient noise protection
Indicator
The red output indicator is ON when light is detected. The
intensity (brightness) of the indictor increases as more light is
detected.
