3. Sikkerhedsinstruktioner
Observe the following safety instructions to prevent personal injury and damage to the product or connected equipment.
- Installation og vedligeholdelse må kun udføres af kvalificeret personale.
- Disconnect power before performing any installation, wiring, or maintenance tasks.
- Sørg for, at driftsvolumentage and current ratings match the sensor's specifications.
- Do not exceed the specified ambient temperature range.
- Protect the cable from mechanical stress and sharp edges.
- The sensor is not intended for safety-related applications unless explicitly stated and certified.
4. Opsætning
4.1 Montering
- Select a mounting location where the sensor can detect the target object reliably within its 2 mm sensing range.
- The sensor is flush mountable, meaning it can be installed with its active face level with the surrounding metal surface without affecting its performance.
- Drill a hole of appropriate diameter (M12) in the mounting surface.
- Insert the sensor into the hole and secure it using the provided nuts, ensuring it is firmly fixed.
- Ensure there is no metallic material within the specified clearance distances around the active face to avoid interference.
4.2 Ledningsføring
The IF-2002-ABOW-IF0295 is a 2-wire AC sensor. Connect it in series with the load to the AC power supply.
- Connect one wire of the sensor to one side of the AC power supply.
- Connect the other wire of the sensor to one terminal of the load (e.g., relay, PLC input).
- Connect the other terminal of the load to the other side of the AC power supply.
- Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er sikre og isolerede.
Note: Refer to local electrical codes and standards for proper wiring practices.
5. Betjeningsvejledning
Once properly installed and wired, the sensor operates automatically.
- Tænd: Apply the specified AC voltage (20-250VAC) to the sensor circuit.
- Opdagelse: When a metallic object enters the sensor's 2 mm sensing range, the sensor's output will switch to its ON state (closed circuit), allowing current to flow through the connected load.
- Normalt åben (NEJ): This sensor has a Normally Open output. This means the output is OFF (open circuit) when no object is detected, and it switches ON (closed circuit) when an object is detected.
- Skiftfrekvens: The sensor can detect objects moving at a rate of up to 25 times per second (25 Hz).
6. Vedligeholdelse
The IFM IF-2002-ABOW-IF0295 sensor is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspection can help ensure long-term reliable operation.
- Rensning: Periodically clean the active face of the sensor to remove any accumulation of dust, dirt, or debris that could affect sensing performance. Use a soft, damp klæde. Brug ikke slibende rengøringsmidler eller opløsningsmidler.
- Kabelinspektion: Check the PVC cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks. Replace the sensor if the cable insulation is compromised.
- Monteringssikkerhed: Verify that the sensor remains securely mounted and that the nuts are tight.
- Miljøbeskyttelse: The IP67 rating ensures protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water. However, avoid prolonged exposure to harsh chemicals or extreme conditions beyond the specified operating range.
7. Fejlfinding
If the sensor is not functioning as expected, perform the following basic checks:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor does not detect objects |
|
|
| Intermitterende detektion |
|
|
| Sensor always ON or OFF |
|
