This manual describes the design, functions, use and installation of AS1 series products. AS1 series products are a wireless light grid technology product that is used to detect the presence of objects within the operating distance.
This document provides instructions for the installation and operation of the Datasensor AS1 Series light grid sensors. It details how to align the emitter (TX) and receiver (RX) units, mount them on rigid supports, and connect them using M12 connectors. The manual explains LED status indicators for diagnostics and lists precautions regarding electromagnetic disturbances, lighting conditions, and environmental factors like smoke or dust.
