All models of the Series 9000 with the exception of those with the solid-state output (42Gxx--9xx3) and the EM-relay
output (42Gxx--9xx2) have a maximum operating temperature of +70_C(+158_F). The maximum operating temperature
of the 42Gxx--9xx3 and 42Gxx--9xx2 models can be determined from the graph shown above. That temperature is based
on the supply voltage fed to the 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 sensor at ambient temperatures which exceed these limits could result in sensor
failure.
Mounting and Wiring
Securely mount the sensor on a firm, stable surface or support. A mounting which is subject to excessive vibration or
shifting may cause intermittent operation. Rockwell Automation offers a wide variety of fixed and adjustable mounting
brackets as well as reflectors and quick disconnect cables. Refer to www.ab.com/sensors for further information on these
products. The sensor is supplied with the hardware kit #129--130 which contains a plastic mounting nut, lock washer, 2
M5 x 0.8 x 53 screws and nuts. Once securely mounted, the sensor may be wired as indicated in the wiring diagrams.

LED Status Indicators
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 sensor. In light-operate mode, the sensor output will turn 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 sensor output will turn OFF when no light is being reflected back to it.
The table below describes the function of the three LED status indicators.

Wiring the Sensor
The Series 9000 photoelectric sensor is available in one of three different connection types as identified on page 1.
Rockwell Automation recommends the use of the 889 Series of cordsets and patchcords on the quick disconnect models.
All external wiring should conform to the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.
Configuring the Sensor—All models except 42GSP--9000
Use the information below to align and configure the sensor.
User Interface
Using an instrument screwdriver, open the top cover of the sensor to gain access to the user interface panel. This panel
contains a single-turn sensitivity adjustment knob, a two-position mode selector switch, along with three LED status
indicators. Using the same screwdriver, the sensitivity can be increased (clockwise) or decreased (counterclockwise) to
meet the application requirements. The factory default setting for all versions is maximum sensitivity.
CAUTION: Damage to single-turn sensitivity adjustment knob
will occur if turned beyond min/max steps.
After initial sensor configuration ensure that the user
interface cover is closed tightly to maintain specified
environmental ratings!
Sensor Alignment
The red LED indicator is an alignment aid which indicates that a margin of 2.5X has been reached. This means that the
sensor is receiving at least 2.5 times the signal strength back from the target needed to trigger an output signal. In
general, it is desirable to have a higher margin to help overcome any deteriorating environmental conditions, i.e. dust
buildup on the sensor’s lens. When aligning the sensor, the best performance can be obtained if this margin indicator is
illuminated with the target in place. It is recommended to leave the sensitivity at its default maximum setting and change it
only when necessary.
Transmitted Beam Versions
1. Visually align the emitter and receiver units (emitter and receiver fibers) until the green output LED turns ON (with
light-operate mode) or turns OFF (with dark-operate mode).
2. To be certain that the beam is centered, it is required to sweep the emitter or receiver 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. The red margin LED should also be ON when the beam is unbroken.

Retroreflective and Polarized Retroreflective Versions
1. Visually align the sensor (or fiber optic cable) on the reflector until the green output LED turns ON (with light-operate
mode) or turns OFF (with dark-operate mode). Also verify that the red margin LED is on.
2. To be certain that the beam is centered, it is required to 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. Break the beam with the object to be detected and check if the output indicator turns ON (dark-operate mode). If this
does not occur, turn down the sensitivity adjustment until it does. Restore the light beam by removing the object and
check if the output indicator turns OFF again and that the red margin LED comes ON. If this does not occur, increase
the size of the reflector or decrease the distance between the reflector and the sensor.
Diffuse Mode
1. Visually align the sensor (or fiber optic cable) on the object until the green output LED turns ON (with light-operate
mode) or turns OFF (dark-operate mode).
2. To be certain that the beam is centered, it is required to 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 background signals by turning down the sensitivity
adjustment, if such background signals exist. Replace the object and verify that the output LED goes ON and that the
margin LED is ON. If the sensor continues to pick up background reflections it will be necessary to eliminate those
reflections (i.e. paint with a nonreflective color) or to replace the sensor with a background suppression, sharp cutoff
diffuse, or retroreflective sensing mode version.
Configuring the Sensor—42FSP-9000 Models
Use the information below to align and configure the sensor.
User Interface
Using an instrument screwdriver, open the top cover of the sensor to gain access to the user interface panel. This panel
contains two pushbuttons and three LED status indicators. The left pushbutton is used to put the sensor into teach mode
while the righthand one is for light/dark operate selection.
Teach Mode
The teach mode of the 42GSP--9000 enables the sensor to learn both the light and dark conditions presented to it and to
automatically adjust sensitivity to its optimal level for the application. This mode replaces the adjustment screw of a
conventional photoelectric sensor.
With the sensor pointed at the light condition (target), momentarily press the Teach button until the RED indicator turns
ON. After three seconds, this indicator will flash indicating it is ready to receive the dark condition (background). The RED
indicator will momentarily remain steady , then turn OFF. This indicates that the teach operation was successful.
The 42GSP--9000 photoelectric sensor also contains a two position pushbutton. This button is used to select either light
or dark operate mode of the sensor. In light operate mode, the sensor output will turn ON when light is being reflected
back to it (indicated by the output LED being ON). In dark operate mode, the sensor output will turn ON when no light is
being reflected back to it.
The table below describes the function of the three LED status indicators.

Configuring the Sensor—42GTx Models
In addition to the switch and knob, some versions of the Series 9000 photoelectric sensor contain a four-bank DIP switch
(S1...S4) and two rotary knobs (R2 and R3). These 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.

Note that these timers are nonretriggerable. The timing can be set for short (0–1.5 sec) or long (0–15 sec) duration using
the DIP switches and adjusted via the two 15-turn rotary knobs. Use the illustration below to aid in configuring these
timers.
IMPORTANT:After initial sensor configuration ensure that the user interface
cover is closed tightly to maintain specified environmental
ratings!

Application Example
Product is coming down a conveyor, if the product is a white box, a kicker located 3 seconds down the conveyor is
activated to push the box down another conveyor. The kicker should extend and retract for 1 second. The sensor is a
42GTP--9000. In this application an ON and OFF delay is required. Set the first DIP switch (S1) to TD position. Switch
(S2) will be set to LT position. Switch (S3) will be set to L position for a 3 second delay. Switch (S4) will be set to the
S position. The delay will be adjusted by turning the ON delay pot clockwise until the proper delay time is set. The OFF
delay pot will be turned clockwise so to set the one second OFF delay.
