The DPR-2020-NPN-NC supports flexible installation methods to adapt to different industrial machine structures.
Installation options include:
- Top and bottom mounting
- Side mounting
- Cantilever installation
2.1 Installation Method 1 — Top and Bottom Mounting
Mounting brackets are fixed to the top and bottom ends of the sensor.
Suitable for:
- Standard machine guarding
- Vertical protective areas
- Equipment access protection
2.2 Installation Method 2 — Side Mounting
Mounting brackets are fixed to both sides of the sensor.
Suitable for:
- Limited installation space
- Machine side protection
- Flexible mounting positions
2.3 Installation Method 3 — Cantilever Mounting
Cantilever brackets provide adjustable and flexible installation and are sold separately.
Suitable for:
- Customized machine layouts
- Extended protection areas
- Flexible sensor positioning
2.4 Emitter and Receiver Mounting
Emitter Mounting: Fix the emitter securely using the mounting brackets.
Receiver Mounting: Fix the receiver securely using the mounting brackets.
The emitter and receiver should be securely mounted and positioned facing each other.
2.5 Emitter and Receiver Alignment
The emitter and receiver must be correctly aligned so that all infrared beams are received by the receiver.
After mounting, verify that the complete detection area is aligned before connecting the sensor to the machine control system.
- All beams clear → Output ON
- Beam interrupted → Output OFF
3. Wiring Guide
The DPR-2020-NPN-NC uses an M12 3-pin connector for the emitter and an M12 4-pin connector for the receiver.
