Frequently Asked Questions

What types of power supply does the S142CRXA230 support?

The S142CRXA230 supports 24 VAC/DC, 115 VAC, or 230 VAC power supplies.

What is the relay output rating for resistive loads?

The relay output is rated for 8 A / 250 VAC (2500 VA) for AC1 resistive loads.

What is the operating temperature range for this device?

The operating temperature range for the S142CRXA230 is -20º to +50ºC (-4º to +122ºF).

What is the rated operational voltage for the 230 VAC model?

The rated operational voltage (UB) for the 230 VAC model is 195 to 265 VAC, 45 to 65 Hz.

How does the device indicate sensor faults?

If a fault occurs on the emitter or receiver, the Alarm LED and output will turn ON.

What is the degree of protection for the housing?

The housing has a degree of protection of IP 20 according to IEC 60529 and 60947-1.

What is the maximum sensing distance for the amplifier?

The maximum sensing distance is the maximum range indicated on the photoelectric switch data sheets at 100% settings.

Can this amplifier be used in old systems?

No, the amplifier cannot be used as a replacement in old systems; if used in old systems, all amplifiers must be replaced.

What is the purpose of the two emitter codes (A and B)?

When two sensor pairs are mounted close together, selecting one set to Code A and the other to Code B minimizes crosstalk.

How is sensitivity adjusted on this device?

Sensitivity can be adjusted manually using a 240º potentiometer or automatically when the Auto LED is ON.
