D12 Expert Series Overview
D12 Expert self-contained sensors offer one-button programming which provides
security for your settings, yet is simple to set. D12 Expert sensors offer two
programming modes: TEACH mode and SENSOR OUTPUT CONFIGURATION mode.
The D12 Expert also features an advanced and comprehensive LED status display,
plus sensor self-diagnostics and an alarm output to signal marginal sensing
conditions.
Unlike competitive sensors, D12 Expert models have no exposed switches or
adjustments. All programming is accomplished using a single, sealed push button,
using quick commands. Your settings remain secure, and the sensor is sealed against
the elements of the sensing environment. Also, a separate input is provided for
remote programming (see page 9).
Models are available for either glass or plastic fiber optics (see page 1). Fiber optics
are purchased separately to fit your exact sensing application. A few representative
fiber optic styles are listed on pages 11 and 12. See the Banner Photoelectric Sensors
Catalog for the full selection of fiber optic assemblies.
D12 Expert Series Programming Modes
TEACH Mode
All photoelectric sensing applications (excluding analog response applications)
involve differentiating between two received light levels. The condition with the higher
received light level is known as the light condition , and the condition with the lower
received light level is known as the dark condition . The difference between the two
conditions is the sensing contrast.
The D12 Expert TEACH mode evaluates the light and dark sensing conditions and
automatically adjusts the sensitivity to the optimal level. Programming is fast, easy,
and accurate.
D12 Expert sensors offer high excess gain needed for demanding sensing
environments, and/or for long-range sensing. However, unlike standard D12 sensors,
D12 Expert sensors also excel in low contrast sensing applications. When a D12
Expert sensor recognizes a low-contrast application during the TEACH mode process,
the sensor’s on-board microprocessor expands the bottom end of the sensitivity
range to establish an accurate setting which will allow the sensor to respond to the
slight difference in received light levels.

Condition
D12E and D12E2 models set their sensing threshold points differently during the
TEACH mode process. D12E sensors automatically place the switching threshold just
above the dark condition that is taught to the sensor (see Figure 2). This scheme
works exceptionally well for sensing a very small sensing contrast, where the light
level represented by the dark condition remains constant. However, in some
applications, a subtle rise in the amount of light received in the dark condition may
prevent the D12E from responding to the intended sensing event.
D12E2 models automatically set the switching threshold at the mid-point between the
light and dark sensing conditions taught to the sensor (Figure 2). This mid-point
switching threshold allows D12E2 model sensors to ignore subtle changes in both the
light and dark sensing conditions. D12E2 models were first developed to ignore a
small amount of web flutter in high-speed registration color-mark-sensing applications.
At the end of the TEACH mode process, the D12 Expert bargraph indicator flashes one
to seven segments to indicate the relative sensing contrast (see page 8), so you know
how forgiving your application will be to changing sensing conditions.
SENSOR OUTPUT CONFIGURATION Mode
The OUTPUT CONFIGURATION PROGRAM mode allows you to set the sensor’s output
for either no delay or for a fixed 40 millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF-delay) for use
with loads (or circuit inputs) that are too slow to react to a quick event. With no OFF
delay, sensing response is a fast 200 microseconds (.0002 seconds) both ON and
OFF.
The output can also be configured for either light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO).
Light operate energizes the sensor’s load output when the light condition is sensed,
and dark operate energizes the load output for the dark condition.
The output configuration can be checked at any time by simply holding down the
push button for 2 seconds. The sensor’s 7-segment LED display will indicate the
current setting for 10 seconds (see Figure 3), while the sensor continues normal
operation. Factory settings for the output configuration are no delay (0 ms) and light
operate (LO).

RUN Mode
Normal operation of the D12 Expert is called RUN mode. During RUN mode, the 7-
segment LED display becomes a moving dot signal strength indicator (see Figure 1).
When the light and dark sensing conditions are analyzed by the sensor during TEACH
mode, the sensor’s microprocessor automatically distributes the range of signal
strength seen in the light condition evenly between the 7 LEDs. This display gives a
true reading of the relative signal strength for the current application, and is a useful
indicator of changing sensing conditions.
Maximum Sensitivity
D12 Expert sensors are factory set for maximum sensitivity. Use the following TEACH
mode procedure at any time to return the sensitivity to its maximum setting.
Following the TEACH mode procedure on page 8, teach the following two conditions:
1. No light reaching the receiver. One easy way to do this is to disconnect the
emitter and/or receiver fiber at the sensor.
2. Maximum light reaching the receiver. The best way to do this is to pipe the
light from the sensor’s emitter port directly into the receiver port, using a short
individual fiber. If this is not convenient, then return the greatest amount of light
possible to the receiver by using a reflective target at close range (diffuse mode
sensing) or by bringing the sensing end tips together (opposed mode sensing).
Factory Default Settings
D12E and D12E2 sensors are factory set at the following defaults: maximum
sensitivity, light operate output and pulse stretcher OFF.
Perform the procedures on the following pages to program your own settings. Unlike
competitive sensors, the D12E has no exposed switches or adjustments.

Output Configuration Programming
Programming is performed using the push button and a combination of single-,
double-, and triple-clicks. (For a description of these clicks, see Remote Programming
on page 9). Two output functions may be programmed by the push button:
1. Either no delay or a fixed 40 millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF-delay) for loads (or
circuit inputs) that are too slow to react to a quick event. With no OFF-delay,
sensing response is a fast 200 microseconds (.0002 seconds), both ON and OFF.
2. The output may be programmed for either light operate (LO) or dark operate
(DO). In light operate, the sensor load output is energized during the light
condition; in dark operate the load output is energized during the dark condition.
These two output functions are programmed in sequence – first the output timing,
followed by the light/dark operate selection – as explained in the chart. The factory
settings are 0 millisecond OFF-delay (no delay) and light operate (LO). To check the
output configuration at any time, hold down the push button for 2 seconds. The
sensor’s 7-segment LED display will indicate the setting for 10 seconds, while the
sensor continues normal operation.
NOTE: To escape from PROGRAM mode and return to RUN mode at any point, push
and hold the push button for 2 seconds.

TEACH-Mode Programming
Sensitivity is automatically set (and optimized) by “teaching” the sensor the light and
dark conditions, in TEACH mode. TEACH mode is accomplished by presenting each of
the two sensing conditions to the fiber optics. They may be presented in either order
(the light condition first, then the dark, or vice versa). When the button is clicked, the
sensor samples the sensing condition and registers it into memory. After the second
sensing condition is registered, the sensor automatically sets its sensitivity to the
optimum value for the application, and the sensor returns to RUN mode.
NOTE: There is a period of a few seconds at the end of TEACH mode when the display
is blank, before RUN mode begins.
Contrast Indication
When the push button is clicked to teach the second condition (see above), the
7-segment display flashes 1 to 7 LEDs three times to indicate relative contrast level
(see Figure 4). Contrast is the difference in light level between the two sensing
conditions. Higher contrast allows a higher sensitivity level, and, therefore, a higher
excess gain. In short, a high contrast level is directly related to sensing reliability, and
to the sensor’s ability to “forgive” subtle changes in sensing conditions.

When the push button is single-clicked, the 7-segment display will turn each of its
LEDs ON in sequence from #7 to #1, as the sensor samples and registers the first
condition. The green ON LED will double-flash at 1 Hz to indicate that the sensor is
ready to learn the second condition.
NOTE: There is no timeout for the TEACH mode sequence. To escape from TEACH
mode and return to RUN mode with the previous setting, press and hold the
push button for 2 seconds or longer.
When the push button is clicked, the 7-segment display will turn each of its LEDs
ON in sequence from #7 to #1, as the sensor samples and registers the second
condition. The 7-segment display will then flash 1 to 7 of its LEDs three times to
indicate relative sensing contrast. (See Figure 4, above right.)
If the contrast is acceptable, the sensor returns (after a few seconds) to RUN mode
with the new, optimized sensitivity setting. If the contrast is unacceptable (indicated
by only #1 LED of the 7-segment display flashing three times), the sensor returns to
TEACH mode condition 1.
NOTE: If the contrast is unacceptable, the ALARM output also pulses three times.

Remote Programming
To remotely program the TEACH and OUTPUT CONFIGURATION modes, connect the
sensor’s gray wire to a remote programming switch. (This input parallels the push
button on the sensor, so the push button sequences explained on the previous two
pages also apply for a remote switch.)
Connect a remote programming switch between the gray wire and dc common (see
hookup diagrams on page 6). The switch may be either a normally open contact, or
an open-collector NPN transistor.
The timing diagrams (Figure 5, below) define single-, double-, and triple-click,
simulating the D12 Expert’s programming push button. The ON time of each click
must be at least 40 milliseconds. The minimum space between clicks must be at least
40 milliseconds. The total time of two adjacent clicks of a double- or triple-click must
be less than 800 milliseconds. Conversely, there must be at least 800 milliseconds
between the start of a single- or double-click and the next input.

Self-diagnostics
D12 Expert sensors provide several self-diagnostic functions. One or more flashing
LEDs on the 7-segment display indicates a trouble condition. In addition, an alarm
output warns of marginal sensing conditions.
The D12 Expert’s 7-segment display indicates four problems:
Display: LED #7 flashes and green ON indicator is ON steadily. (Figure 6.)
Problem: The sensor flashes the #7 LED continuously and energizes the alarm output
when a marginal sensing condition develops during RUN mode. The
sensing area should be checked for any change which might affect the
received light level in either or both sensing conditions (for example, dirt
buildup on the sensing end of a fiber, misalignment of a fiber, or a change
in the target’s physical properties). If no changes can be identified, try
re-teaching the sensor.
Display: LED #7 flashes and green ON indicator is OFF. (Figure 7.)
Problem: Load output is overloaded. Remove power, correct the problem, and
re-apply power. Sensor will come up in RUN mode with the most recent
settings.
Display: LEDs #1 and 7 flash together, 6 times. (Figure 8.)
Problem: This occurs at the end of TEACH mode, when the sensor has received faulty
data. Faulty data may result from an unstable target or from high electrical
noise occurring while TEACH mode is in process. The sensor will return to
RUN mode, with the previous setting. Try re-teaching the sensor.
Display: LEDs #2 and 7 flash together. (Figure 9.)
Problem: These LEDs flash continuously to indicate a sensor component failure.
Return the sensor to the factory for replacement.
