SENPUM - Fiber Optic Sensor - FX-N10 Series

Fiber Optic Sensor (Thrubeam type / Diffuse type / Retro-reflective/ BGS type

The SENPUM FX-N10 Series represents a high precision digital fiber optic sensor amplifier family designed to support and control fiber optic sensor heads in industrial automation systems. These amplifiers process signals from fibre optic sensors and provide configurable outputs that allow precise detection and differentiation of target conditions. The digital design incorporates advanced signal processing with selectable response times and modes to suit varying detection environments, from high-speed applications to more stable sensing tasks.

The FX-N10 Series offers multiple configurations including cable type, relay type, and versions with single or multiple outputs. These amplifiers include functionality such as LIGHT-ON / DARK-ON switching, external input control, and selectable timer functions. They are suited for use with high-performance SP Series fibre units for reliable sensing across applications such as presence detection, positioning, and precise feature recognition.
