1. First of all, the front face of the photoelectric sensor must be parallel to the surface of the workpiece or object to be detected, so that the conversion efficiency of the photoelectric sensor will become high.

2. When installing and welding, the small distance between the root of the pin of the photoelectric sensor and the pad shall not be less than 5 mm, otherwise the core will be easily damaged during welding. or cause a change in die performance. The welding time should be less than 4 seconds;

3. The minimum detectable width of the through-beam photoelectric sensor is 80% of the width of the photoelectric switching lens.

4. When using inductive loads (such as lamps, motors, etc.), the transient impulse current is large, which may deteriorate or damage the photoelectric sensor of the AC second wire. In this case, be sure to transfer the load through an AC relay.

5. The lens of the infrared photoelectric sensor needs to be wiped with lens polishing paper, and it is absolutely forbidden to use chemicals such as dilution solvents to avoid damaging the plastic mirror.

6. According to the actual requirements of the user's site, in some harsh conditions, such as dusty occasions, the sensitivity of the photoelectric sensor needs to be increased by 50% to meet the requirements of extending the maintenance cycle of the photoelectric sensor in long-term use.

7. Since the infrared light in the strong light will affect the normal operation of the receiving tube, therefore, the photoelectric sensor must be installed in a place where there is no direct irradiation of strong light.

The above is the reason why the photoelectric sensor is easy to be damaged in the process of use, and the troubleshooting methods. I hope that everyone can pay attention to the use of photoelectric sensors, be familiar with such problems, and effectively reduce the various failures that may occur during the use of photoelectric sensors, so that the use of photoelectric sensors will become longer and more durable.
