Overview
The Keyence FS2-60 is a fiber amplifier photoelectric sensor with cable-type connection and NPN output configuration. It processes signals from fiber optic sensing heads to deliver stable, accurate object detection for automated manufacturing and inspection applications. The amplifier is built for long-distance detection with selectable operating modes and integrated protection circuits.
Key Features
- Red LED light source for long detecting distance capability
- Sensitivity adjustment via 8-turn trimmer potentiometer for precise calibration
- Selectable LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON operation modes to match application logic
- Fast 250 microsecond response time for dynamic detection tasks
- NPN open-collector output with 100 mA maximum control current
- Integrated reversed polarity and overcurrent protection
- Switchable timer functions: ON-delay, OFF-delay, or timer OFF (40 ms default)
- Status indicator lamps for output and stable operation monitoring
- Optional buzzer mode for alarm or control output notification
