1. AS1 Series
AREAscan™

2. 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

3. 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.

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.

7. 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.
