The DAPPRA DPR-1240-NPN-NC is a light curtain sensor designed for industrial machine protection and area detection applications. In the Indonesian market, products in this category may be commonly referred to as either “Safety Light Curtain” or “Area Sensor”, depending on the application and user terminology.
1. Product Dimensions
The DPR-1240-NPN-NC features a compact design with a 29 × 30 mm cross-section, making it suitable for space-constrained industrial installations.
| Dimension | Value |
|---|---|
| Protection Height | 440 mm |
| Total Height (including end caps) | 526 mm |
| Optical Axis Pitch | 40 mm |
| Cross Section (Width × Depth) | 29 × 30 mm |
| Number of Beams | 12 |
2. Protection Height Calculation
Protection Height = (Beam Quantity – 1) × Optical Axis Pitch
(12 – 1) × 40 mm = 440 mm
Total Height: 526 mm (including end caps)
3. Installation Methods
The DPR-1240-NPN-NC supports three primary installation methods to accommodate various machine structures and space constraints.
3.1 Standard Vertical Installation
The emitter and receiver are mounted vertically opposite each other, creating a detection area across the full protection height.
- Suitable for: CNC machines, press machines, machine entrances, safety protection areas
- Advantages: Simple alignment, maximum coverage area
3.2 Side Installation
Mounts the sensor on the side of the machine frame where standard vertical mounting space is restricted.
- Suitable for: Compact equipment, limited installation space, customized machine layouts
- Advantages: Space-efficient, adaptable to machine geometry
3.3 Adjustable Bracket Installation
Uses adjustable mounting brackets for flexible positioning and fine-tuning of emitter-receiver alignment.
- Suitable for: Customized automation equipment, retrofits, flexible manufacturing cells
- Advantages: Easier alignment, flexible angle adjustment
⚠ IMPORTANT: Ensure proper alignment between emitter and receiver. Use the alignment indicator LEDs to confirm correct positioning before securing the brackets.
4. Wiring Instructions
The DPR-1240-NPN-NC uses an NPN NC output configuration.
| Wire Color | Function | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Brown | Power Supply (+) | DC24V ±20% |
| Blue | Power Supply (-) | GND (0V) |
| Black | Output Signal | NPN NC output |
| White | Test / Sync (optional) | For function test or synchronization |
Signal Logic — NPN NC
| Condition | Output Signal |
|---|---|
| Normal beam transmission (no object) | 0V (low level) — Output active |
| Beam interrupted (object detected) | High impedance — Output inactive |
5. Safety Precautions
- Ensure power supply is within DC24V ±20% specification before connection.
- Do not disassemble or modify the sensor. Contact DAPPRA for service.
- Keep the optical surfaces clean for reliable detection.
- Do not operate the sensor beyond the rated environmental specifications.
- The SIL certification applies only when installed and used according to the instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the DAPPRA DPR-1240-NPN-NC?
+
The DAPPRA DPR-1240-NPN-NC is a DPR Series Safety Light Curtain / Area Sensor designed for multi-beam infrared detection, machine protection and industrial automation applications. It provides 12 infrared beams, 40 mm optical axis pitch, 440 mm protection height, 526 mm total height and NPN NC output.
How should the DPR-1240-NPN-NC be wired?
+
DPR-1240-NPN-NC should be wired according to the official product wiring diagram. The specified system uses DC24V power and NPN NC output.
What is the difference between a Safety Light Curtain and an Area Sensor?
+
A Safety Light Curtain is generally associated with machine safety and personnel protection, while Area Sensor is commonly used as a broader term for multi-beam area detection. For DPR-1240-NPN-NC, the product is presented as a Safety Light Curtain / Area Sensor because it provides multi-beam infrared detection and is positioned for machine protection and industrial automation applications.
What is the protection height of the DPR-1240-NPN-NC?
+
The protection height is 440 mm. Calculation: (12 − 1) × 40 mm = 440 mm.
How do I align the emitter and receiver during installation?
+
Align the emitter and receiver by ensuring they are positioned directly opposite each other at the same height. Use the alignment indicator LEDs and a level tool to achieve proper alignment. The DPR Series includes alignment indicators to assist with installation. Refer to the installation guide for detailed procedures.
Can the DPR-1240-NPN-NC be connected to a PLC?
+
Yes. The NPN output can be connected to compatible PLC input circuits. Verify the PLC input specifications and wiring requirements before installation.
What is the IP rating of the DPR-1240-NPN-NC?
+
DPR-1240-NPN-NC has an IP65 protection rating.
Are Safety Light Curtain and Area Sensor the same?
+
Not necessarily. In the Indonesian industrial automation market, the terms “Safety Light Curtain” and “Area Sensor” are sometimes used to describe similar light-beam sensing products. However, they should not automatically be considered identical. The correct choice depends on the required safety function, resolution, application, output configuration, and applicable safety standards.
