1.2 Overview
The DF-G2 is an easy-to-use, DIN-rail-mountable ber opc sensor with best in class response speed and repeatability. It provides high-
performance sensing in high speed or low contrast applicaons where fast response me is required.
The sensor’s compact housing has dual digital displays (Red/Green) and a bright output LED for easy programming and status
monitoring during operaon. The sensor features a push-pull primary output which supports IO-link communicaon, and a mul-
funcon secondary independent PNP output which can be congured as an input for advanced sensor conguraon and remote teach.
The DF-G2 features improved temperature compensaon compared with previous ber opc sensors. An accessory clamp is available to
secure a bank of connected sensors together on a DIN rail (see Accessories).

1.3 Top Panel Interface
Opening the dust cover provides access to the top panel interface. The top panel interface consists of the RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch,
CH1/CH2 switch, +/SET/- rocker buon, dual red/green digital displays, and output LED.
RUN/PRG/ADJ Mode Switch
The RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch puts the sensor in RUN, PRG (Program), or ADJ (Adjust) mode.
• RUN mode allows the sensor to operate normally and prevents unintenonal programming changes via
the +/SET/- rocker buon.
• PRG mode allows the sensor to be programmed through the display-driven programming menu (see
Program Mode on page 7).
•ADJ mode allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and Manual Adjust (see Adjust Mode on
page 12).
CH1/CH2 Switch (Dual Output Mode)
The CH1/CH2 switch selects which output's parameters can be accessed and changed in the interface of the
display.
+/SET/- Rocker Buon
The +/SET/- rocker buon is a 3-way buon. The +/- posions are engaged by rocking the buon le/right. The SET
posion is engaged by clicking down the buon while the rocker is in the middle posion. All three buon posions
are used during PRG mode to navigate the display-driven programming menu. During ADJ mode, SET is used to
perform TEACH/SET methods and +/- are used to manually adjust the threshold(s). The rocker buon is disabled
during RUN mode, except when using Window SET.
Red/Green Digital Displays
During RUN and ADJ modes, the Red display shows the signal level, and the Green display shows the threshold or
the total counts. During PRG mode, both displays are used to navigate the display-driven programming menu.
Dual Output LEDs
The output LEDs provide a visible indicaon when the associated output is acve (conducng).

2.3 Fiber Adapters
Note: If a thin ber with less than 2.2 mm outer diameter is used, install the ber adapter provided with the ber assembly to
ensure a reliable t in the ber holder. Align the bers to the end of the adaptors. Banner includes the adapters with all ber
assemblies.

opons: Health (Health Mode Alarm), Comp (Complementary Programming), Set (sets Channel 2 wire as a remote input), Mast (selects
this unit as the master and then allows you to enter the total number of slaves there will be), Slve (selects this unit as a slave and then
allows you to enter this slave address), LED o, LED on and Gate.
3.2.2 TEACH Selecon
The DF-G2 can be programmed for one of the following TEACH/SET methods:
•Two-Point TEACH
• Dynamic TEACH
• Window SET
• Light SET
• Dark SET
•Calibraon SET
Note: A TEACH Selecon must be selected by programming before TEACH/SET methods can be used.

3.2.4 Oset Percent
The Oset Percent is used during the Window, Light, or Dark SET methods. The threshold(s) are posioned a programmable % oset
from the taught condion.
The allowable oset percent range varies based on the response speed, teach method and sensivity sengs as shown below:
Teach Method Response Speed Sensivity Oset % Range
Window Set, Light Set 50 µs, 250 µs High 2 to 98%
Standard 5 to 95%
Low 10 to 90%
500 µs, 1000 µs, 2000 µs High 1 to 99%
Standard 2 to 98%
Low 5 to 95%
Dark Set 50 µs, 250 µs High 2 to 999%
Standard 5 to 999%
Low 10 to 999%
500 µs, 1000 µs, 2000 µs High 1 to 999%
Standard 2 to 999%
Low 5 to 999%
3.2.5 Auto Thresholds
Auto Thresholds can be programmed to be ON/OFF. The Auto Thresholds algorithm connuously tracks slow changes in the taught
condion(s), and opmizes the threshold(s) to provide for reliable sensing. For Two-Point and Dynamic TEACH, the algorithm opmizes
the threshold to be centered between the light and dark condions. For Window, Light, and Dark SET, the algorithm opmizes the
threshold(s) to maintain the programmed Oset Percent from the taught condion.
•Aer programming Auto Thresholds to ON, it is highly recommended to re-perform the TEACH/SET method
•Manual Adjustments are disabled when Auto Thresholds are ON
• Auto Thresholds are automacally disabled in Calibraon SET (see Calibraon SET on page 20)
• Severe contaminaon/changes in the taught condion can prevent the Auto Thresholds algorithm from opmizing the
threshold(s). If this occurs, the DF-G2 enters a Threshold Alert or Threshold Error state. See Troubleshoong on page 21 for
more explanaon.
