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,
LO/DO or CH1/CH2 switch, +/SET/- rocker buon, dual red/green digital displays, and output LED(s).
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).
• ADJ mode allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and Manual Adjust (see Adjust Mode on
page 16).
LO/DO Switch (Single Output Models)
The LO/DO switch selects Light Operate or Dark Operate mode.
•In Light Operate mode, the output is ON when the sensing condion is above the threshold. (For Window
SET, the output is ON when the sensing condion is inside the window.)
•In Dark Operate mode, the output is ON when the sensing condion is below the threshold. (For Window
SET, the output is ON when the sensing condion is outside the window.)
CH1/CH2 Switch (Dual Output Models)
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 (see 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.

3.2.1 Output Selecon
Both CH1 and CH2 can be programmed for either light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO). The Channel 2 menu includes two addional
menus: Health (Health Mode Alarm) and Comp (Complementary Programming).
Health Mode Alarm
The Health Mode Alarm alerts you when preventave maintenance becomes necessary to ensure reliable sensing. The Health Mode
output 2 is Acve when the system is OK and operang normally. Health Mode output 2 becomes Inacve when the system is in a
marginal state because of contaminaon. The system sll operates normally and can detect small objects, but is nearing the alarm
state. When the system is completely contaminated and unable to ensure reliable sensing, the system goes into the alarm state. In the
alarm state, the discrete output 1 is forced to the blocked state and can no longer be used to detect small objects.
• Threshold Alert displays when Health Mode output 2 is inacve because of contaminaon. The system operates
normally but is nearing the alarm state.
•Threshold Error displays when discrete output 1 is forced to the blocked state and can no longer be used to
detect small objects.
The sensor may enter Health Mode Alarm for any of these reasons:
1. When rst powered up; the ber opc array may already be contaminated
2. If the Window SET procedure fails, indicang the ber opc array is contaminated and the sensor could not set a valid clear-
state light level for reliable detecon
DF-G3 Long Range Expert™Dual Display Fiber Amplier
www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: [phone]

3. If the ber opc array is contaminated enough that the auto compensaon tracking algorithm cannot suciently adjust the
thresholds to ensure reliable detecon
4. If the ber opc array is blocked for more than 2 seconds
Return the system to normal operaon by cleaning the ber opc array and performing a Window SET to reset the clear-state light level
(see Window SET on page 19).
Complementary Programming
When CH2 is selected for Comp (Complementary) operaon, its output always switches to the opposite state of CH1.
3.2.2 TEACH Selecon
The DF-G3 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.
3.2.3 Response Speed
The DF-G3 can be programmed for one of the following Response Speeds:
Descripon Response
Speed Repeon Period Repeatability Cross-Talk Avoidance Energy Ecient Light
Resistance Maximum Range, Red3Maximum Range,
IR8504

Extra Long Range 24 ms 100 µs 180 µs Yes Yes 3000 mm 6000 mm
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 range is 5% minimum to 95% maximum for all response speeds.
The oset percent can also be programmed to Minimum Oset. This allows the DF-G3 to set the threshold(s) as close
as possible to the presented condion, but sll provide for reliable sensing.
Note: Oset Percent MUST be programmed to Minimum Oset for Dark SET to accept condions of no signal (0 counts).
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 23)
• 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-G3 enters a Threshold Alert or Threshold Error state. See Troubleshoong on page 25 for
more explanaon.

3.2.6 Delays/Timers
ON/OFF Delays and ON/OFF One-Shot mers
can be programmed independently for both CH1
and CH2 for a me period between between 1 -
9999 ms (a value of 0 disables the delay/mer).
Figure 3 on page 13 denes how the delays/
mers aect the output behavior.
Some combinaons of delays/mers are not
allowed. The DF-G3 programming menu
automacally disables invalid combinaons of
delays/mers. The following table shows the
allowable combinaons of delays/mers:

3.2.7 Sensivity Selecon
The Sensivity Selecon can be programmed independently for CH1 and CH2. Use this seng to increase (lo) or decrease (high) the
switch-point hysteresis from the default (std) seng.
• high—High sensivity. Use this seng for low contrast sensing
• Std—Standard sensivity
• Lo—Low sensivity. Use this seng to stabilize the output in high vibraon applicaons
3.2.8 Input Wire Funcon
The DF-G3 can be programmed for one of the following input wire funcons:
•O—Ignore all pulses
•Set—Remote TEACH input
• Master—Master sync line output for mul-sensor cross-talk avoidance
•Slave—Slave sync line output for mul-sensor cross-talk avoidance
•LED o—When the input wire is acve the emier LED turns o
• LED on—When the input wire is acve the emier LED turns on
•Gate—When the input wire is acve the outputs are locked in their present state; any acve delay mers are paused
For remote programming in Set Mode see Remote Input on page 14.
To congure sensors for master-slave operaon, see Sync Master/Slave on page 15.
3.2.9 Display Readout
The readout of the digital displays can be programmed for the following opons:
• Signal/Threshold readout - Numeric (1234) or % (123P)
•ECO mode - Enabled or Disabled (ECO mode dims the displays to reduce current consumpon)
• Display Orientaon - Normal ( ) or Flipped ( )

3.2.10 Gain Selecon
The DF-G3 can operate in Auto Gain mode or the Gain can be xed to be in Gain 1...7. In Auto Gain, the DF-G3 opmizes the gain during
a TEACH/SET method for the presented condion(s). While viewing the xed gains in the Gain Selecon choice list, the DF-G3 will
automacally switch to the selected gain and display the measured signal on the Red display. This allows for easy and quick evaluaon
of the xed gain mode.
3.2.11 Factory Defaults
The Factory Defaults menu allows the DF-G3 to be easily restored back to original factory default sengs (see Factory Default Sengs
in Specicaons).
3.3 Remote Input
Use the input wire to program the sensor remotely. To program the sensor using the input wire, remote input must be enabled (inPt SEL
= SEt, see Input Wire Funcon on page 13). The remote input provides limited programming opons (see the gure below). Pulse the
remote input according to the gures and the instrucons provided in this manual.
Note: For NPN models, the remote input pulses are acve low as shown in the following gures. For PNP models, the remote
input pulses are acve high and are inverted from the following gures.

3.4 Sync Master/Slave
Up to seven DF-G3 Long Range Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplier sensors may be used together in a single sensing applicaon. To
eliminate crosstalk between the sensors, congure one sensor to be the master and the remaining sensors to be the slaves. In this
mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed is 2 ms.
Note: Note: In this mode, all sensors must either be NPN or PNP output models.

1. Congure the rst sensor as the Master (inPt SEL = MAST).
2. In the Master sensor set-up, enter the total number of Slave sensors you will be using (tOtL SLAV = 1 - 6).
3. For each Slave sensor used, congure the input as a Slave (inPt SEL = SLVE).
4. Give each Slave its own idenfying address (SLAV Addr = 1 - 6).
5. Connect the Input wires of the Master and all of the Slaves together.
Note: Note: Giving two Slave sensors the same address will cause them to re their emiers at the same me in the ring
sequence.
3.5 Adjust Mode
Sliding the RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch to the ADJ posion allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and Manual
Adjustment of the threshold(s).
Note: For the Dual Output models, when teaching CH2, the gain seng will be the same as the gain seng made during the CH1
teach. Reteaching CH1 may invalidate the previous CH2 teach.
3.5.1 Two-Point TEACH
• Establishes a single switching threshold
• Threshold can be adjusted by using the "+" and "-" rocker buon (Manual Adjust)
Two-Point TEACH is used when two condions can be presented stacally to the sensor. The sensor locates a single sensing threshold
(the switch point) midway between the two taught condions, with the Output ON condion on one side, and the Output OFF condion
on the other.

3.5.2 Dynamic TEACH
•Teaches on-the-y
• Establishes a single switching threshold
•Threshold can be adjusted using "+" and "-" rocker buon (Manual Adjust)
Dynamic TEACH is best used when a machine or process may not be stopped for teaching. The sensor learns during actual sensing
condions, taking mulple samples of the light and dark condions and automacally seng the threshold at the opmum level.
