WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Job light is green while job input is active, until push PNP, NO
button is pushed.
Pressing push button activates output and overrides
job light (it turns Red) for visual verification that
action was sensed.

Job light is ON at all times while job input is active.
Pressing push button activates output.
Pressing push button while job input is inactive
causes unit to light Red, providing visual indication
that sensor is functioning properly.
Overview
The solid-state output interfaces to a system controller, which is pre-programmed for a specific sequence of tasks.
Mounted in or near each bin in an assembler’s work station, the sensor job light signals the assembler:
•
•
Which bins contain items to be picked in a given operation; and
In what order they should be picked.
As the assembler takes a part in sequence and pushes the button, the sensor senses that the part was removed and sends
an output signal to the controller. The controller verifies if the correct part was taken and may respond by turning that job
light OFF, activating the job light of the next bin in the sequence.
If multiple parts are to be removed from one bin, the job light may remain ON until the appropriate number of signals is
returned to the controller. If an incorrect part is selected, the control system may be wired to signal an alarm for the
assembler and/or a supervisor, or it may be programmed to interpret the action as a call for parts.

To order the 2 m (6.5 ft) PVC cable model, omit the suffix "Q" in the model number. For example, K30APPBGXD.
Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.
