5. FAQs
Q1: Can the amplifier operate without a fiber optic sensor head?
A1: No. The amplifier must be paired with a compatible fiber optic sensor head to function properly.
Q2: What types of fiber optic sensor heads are supported?
A2: The amplifier is compatible with diffuse reflection, through-beam, right-angle diffuse reflection, and right-angle through-beam sensor heads.
Q3: Can it detect transparent materials?
A3: Yes. Its high-sensitivity light detection allows for reliable sensing of transparent and highly reflective objects.
