AS1 Series AREAscan™

AS1 Series Product Highlights Crossed-beam detection 100mm controlled height 2.1m operating distance 0.5mm high-resolution version (16 beams) 5mm standard resolution-version (6 beams) < 3mm response time PNP output and Scan mode input

AS1 Series Functions The switching output is always activated when at least one beam is obscured. The status variation is signalled by the yellow receiver LED turning on. The device does not require calibration; however periodical checks of the resolution and of the detection are suggested. Beam interruption due to the passage of an object inside the controlled area causes the closing of the switching output. Small objects can be detected and with a reduced surface area.

AS1 Series Connection Receiver Emitter RECEIVER (RX): M12 5-pole connector AS1-HR AS1-SR 1 – brown: +24V DC 2 – white: SEL_RX Not used 3 – blue: 0V 4 – black: Switching output 5 – gray: SYNC EMITTER (TX): M12 4-pole connector AS1-HR AS1-SR 1 – brown: +24V DC 2 – white: SEL_TX Not used 3 – blue: 0V 4 – black: SYNC Shielded cables are not foreseen in the standard connection and ground connection of the two units is not necessary. If you need, this connection can be obtained by replacing the screw provided in the packaging with the one indicated in the drawing, which blocks the lid of the connector side of each unit. The connection shown in the drawing is necessary if ground connection of the entire system is requested.

AS1 Series Installation Mode Align the two units, verifying their distance is inside the device operating distance. The critical alignment of the unit will be signalled by the fast blinking of the green receiver LED. Mount the two receiver and emitter units on rigid supports, which are not subject to strong vibrations, using specific fixing brackets and/or the holes present on the device lids.

AS1 Series Diagnostics RECEIVER UNIT: EMITTER UNIT: LED Status Cause Action OUTPUT (yellow) ON Switching output. Presence of the object in the controlled area. OFF Controlled area free of objects. POWER ON (green) Optimal functioning. Fast blinking Critical alignment of the unit or/and functioning closed to maximum operating distance. Slow blinking Wrong connections and/or malfunctioning. - Verify the output connections and any short-circuits. - Switch OFF and switch ON the device. Device is not powered. - Verify the connections. EMITTER UNIT: LED Status Cause Action POWER ON (green) ON Normal functioning of emission unit. Blinking Unit malfunctioning. - Switch OFF and switch ON the device. OFF Absence of power and/or synchronism with receiver - Verify the connections and right value of power supply.
