Question 2

How do I mount the OCF amplifier and fiber optic cables?

Accepted Answer

For optimal performance, mount the OCF fiber optic amplifier according to the recommended installation guidelines. The amplifier can be easily clipped onto a DIN rail, and fiber optic cables should be fully inserted into the sensor ports until they lock into place.

For detailed instructions, refer to the Installation guidelines or the operating instructions available on the product datasheet page.

Question 3

How do I teach the OCF sensor?

Accepted Answer

The OCF fiber optic amplifier includes a guided teach function that simplifies setup through the display menu. When selecting the teach method, 2-Point Teach is the quickest option.

To perform a 2-Point Teach:

Place the object within the sensing range and confirm with [●].
Start the teaching process by pressing [●].
When prompted, remove the object and confirm with [●] again.
The display will confirm successful teaching and the device will return to Run mode.

For additional teaching options and detailed instructions, refer to the operating instructions on the product datasheet page.
