3. Uendeshaji
Once installed and wired, the S18AW3FF50 sensor is ready for operation.
3.1 Kuwasha
Apply power to the sensor (20-250VAC). The sensor will typically have an indicator LED (if present) to show power status and output state.
3.2 Detection Principle
The S18AW3FF50 is a photoelectric sensor operating in a fixed field mode. It emits a light beam and detects objects based on the reflection or interruption of this beam. The "Light Operate" output means the output will be active when light is received by the sensor (i.e., when an object is detected or not detected, depending on the specific fixed field configuration).
3.3 Umbali na Utendaji
The sensor has a specified detection range of 50 mm. Ensure that objects to be detected fall within this range for reliable operation. Environmental factors such as dust, moisture, and ambient light can affect performance.
4. Matengenezo
The S18AW3FF50 sensor is designed for low maintenance. Regular checks can ensure long-term reliable operation.
4.1 Kusafisha
- Periodically clean the sensor lens and housing to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may accumulate and interfere with detection.
- Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a mild cleaning solution if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents.
4.2 Cable and Connection Inspection
- Regularly inspect the sensor cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage.
- Check electrical connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
5. Utatuzi wa shida
This section provides solutions to common issues encountered with the S18AW3FF50 sensor.
| Tatizo | Sababu inayowezekana | Suluhisho |
