Plastic Fiber Optic Assembly model PIT46U

.04" diameter individual fiber with threaded sensing end

PIT46U

Description

Model PIT46U is an individual plastic fiber optic assembly with an M6

x 0,75 mm threaded sensing end. This fiber is sold in pairs.

The PIT46U operates in the opposed sensing mode. Sensing light is

transmitted or received through the threaded sensing end (see drawing

and photo). Objects are detected when they break the light beam between

two fiber ends. Fiber core diameter is .04 inch.

The PIT46U may be used with plastic fiber optic sensors from the following Banner sensor families: D12, OMNI-

BEAM, MAXI-BEAM, VALU-BEAM, Q45, Q19, PC44, MINI-BEAM, and ECONO-BEAM. See page 2 for

further information.

Fiber Cutting Information

SENSING RANGE: A function of the sensor. For further information, see the

data sheet packed with the sensor, or refer to the Banner product catalog.

TEMPERATURE EXTREMES: Temperatures below -30°C will cause

embrittlement of the plastic materials but will not cause transmission loss.

Temperatures above +70°C will cause both transmission loss and fiber

shrinkage.

REPEAT BENDING/FLEXING: Life expectancy of plastic fiber optic cable

is in excess of one million cycles at bend radii of no less than the minimum

(stated at right) and a bend of 90 degrees or less. Avoid stress at the point where

the cable enters the sensor ("control end") and at the sensing end tip. Coiled

plastic fiberoptic assemblies are recommended for any application requiring

reciprocating fiber motion.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE: -30 to +70°C (-20 to +158°F).

This Banner plastic fiber is designed to be cut by the customer to the length required

for the application. To facilitate cutting, a Banner model PFC-1 cutting device is

supplied with this fiber. Cut the fiber as follows:

1) Locate the "control end" of the fiber (the unfinished end). Determine the length of

fiber required for the application. Lift the top (blade) of the cutter to open the cutting

ports. Insert the control end of the fiber through one of the four

PFC-1 cutter so that the excess fiber protrudes from the back of the cutter.

2) Double-check the fiber length, and close the cutter until the fiber is cut.

3) Gently wipe the cut ends of the fiber with a clean, dry cloth to remove any contamination. Do not use

solvents or abrasives on any exposed optical fiber. Do not use a cutting port more than once. The blade may tend to

dull after one cut.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: The acrylic core of the monofilament opti-

cal fiber will be damaged by contact with acids, strong bases (alkalis) and

solvents. The polyethylene jacket will protect the fiber from most chemical

environments. However, materials may migrate through the jacket with long

term exposure. Samples of fiber optic material are available from Banner for

testing and evaluation.
