GENERAL INFORMATION
HPX-T combines Honeywell's past experiences with Fibre Optic sensors and its
latest technology to create a dependable, user-friendly automatic tuning sensor. Setup
is simply and accurately performed by the push of a button. In addition, it is the
industry's first photoelectric control to provide alphabetical and numerical
information on the status of the sensor. Numerically, you can monitor the light
reception level and the margin level you have, or had, at the time of auto-tuning. In
both cases, the larger the number, the more security you have for the operation.
The alphabetical information provides you the reason for error, instructing you what
to do next.
It's also the industry's first to offer 7 different levels of hysteresis, which will be
picked automatically for optimum setting on the application.
The Honeywell HPX-T is supported by a complete line of HPF standard plastic fibres
and special purpose fibres (glass, chemical-proof, cold and heat resistance) to
satisfy various applications.

  • Page 3: Operation

    If "E" stays On, the sensor informs you that there is not a sufficient level of difference in light reception between 2 targets for "contrast". Try angling the fibre head position from the targets. The alarm is locked (Output Off) until you re-teach the sensor. © Honeywell Europe S.A.
  • Page 4 40 milliseconds before switching to Off. This prevents To activate Push the teach button the sensor from reacting to holes or irregularities in the for 10 seconds Off-delay "ON" target. To de-activate Push the teach button for 10 seconds Off-delay "OFF" © Honeywell Europe S.A.
  • Page 5 The contrast margin shows the difference of light received between both targets. The higher the number, the better the security. In this array, the first line is the number displayed. The second line shows the actual security margin, expressed as multiple of the hysteresis (hysteresis is automatically adjusted). © Honeywell Europe S.A.
  • Page 6 Error : If the level of light received is too low, or if the contrast margin is too tight, then the sensor goes in error state (showing "E"), and latches its output until it is re-taught. © Honeywell Europe S.A.
