1 INTRODUCTION
About these operating
instructions These Operating Instructions describe the installation,
commissioning, operation, and maintenance of the DSE-17
digital infrared sensor and provide important instructions for
proper use.
The operating instructions must be carefully stored and must
always be available at or near the customer's system during the
service life of the sensor.
Translation of the original Operating Instructions:
These Operating Instructions are a translation. The original
Operating Instructions were composed in German.
Target groups These Operating Instructions are directed to both the s
ystem
construction master
as well as the operator who uses the sensor
in production line.
Read operating instructions
The Operating Instructions must be read and used by all persons
who have the responsibility of installing, commissioning,
operating and maintaining the sensor.
Proper use The DSE-17 digital infrared sensor is used for no-contact
measurements of the lateral offset of a material web that is
being guided. The sensor is suitable for
– web edge guiding and
– web center guiding
The sensor can be used to control both opaque and transparent
materials.
The sensor must only be used in accordance with its intended
purpose and in a technically flawless conditions.
The sensor must not be changed or opened. The protection
panes are fastened with a special adhesive.

Air supply (optional) The sensor is also available with air supply. Depending on the
type of dirt contamination, this makes it possible to keep the
protection panes, which cover transmitter and receiver, free of
large pieces of dirt with a continuous or pulsing flow of air.
Depending on the degree of dirt contamination and the
installation location, it may be necessary to vary the air
pressure. The air must be clean and oil-free.

Air supply (optional), page 9-5
Improper use – Operation outside of the technical specifications is not
permitted.
– Operation in areas where there is a danger of explosions is
prohibited.
– The sensor may not be used as a support, handle or step.
– Any use other than the designated use is not permitted.
Mode of functioning The DSE-17 sensor works with infrared light. Because of this the
sensor is relatively insensitive to visible light.
Several measuring cells measure the difference in transparency
between the material web and the open field of view. This makes
the sensor relatively tolerant to dirt contamination on the sensor
and fluctuations in the transparency of the web material.
Depending on how far the material web covers the sensor field
of view, a part of the infrared light strikes the receiver. The
output signals are generated from this information.
The following rules are used for this purpose:
– The sensor searches for the two largest positive and negative
contrast values in the sensor field of view.
– To prevent improper functionality due for example to slight
amounts of contamination on the sensor protection panes,
only contrast values greater than the set minimum contrast
are used for further signal processing.
– This minimum contrast is set to 32% by default.
– The position of the positive contrast with the smallest
distance from the closed end of the sensor is assigned to the
output function "Edge 1."

INTRODUCTION1 - 3
DSE-17 www.maxcess.euMI 1064 1 C
– The nearest negative contrast is assigned to the output
function "Edge 2."
– The remaining contrasts are assigned in the same manner to
output functions "Edge 3" and "Edge 4."
Important information:
– The distance between two material webs must be greater
than 40mm.
– If a material web less than 40mm in width is within the
sensor field of view, a configuration designed especially for
narrow webs must be used. Otherwise invalid values will be
generated.
The configuration number (item 5 in
Figure 1.1 ) identifies the
user-specific assignment of the signals. For further information
refer to the configuration drawing in the system documentation.

One Web Mode The way the sensor works can also be changed with the One
Web Mode
parameter. It can be turned on or off.
One Web Mode: OFF Parameter One Web Mode is turned off.
– If there is no suitable contrast value, it is assumed that the
corresponding material edge is outside the sensor field of
view.
See
Figure 1.2 for 8 different cases a to h
– The corresponding extreme value of its signal range xi or xo
is assigned to the relevant output functions.
xi= 0 or 4mA and xo= 10 or 20mA with normal output
functions and vice versa for the inverted output functions.
One Web Mode: ON Parameter One Web Mode is turned on.
This parameter setting is intended for materials with unevenly
distributed material thickness (cloudy) in which edges may
incorrectly be detected in the middle of the material web.
The position of the positive contrast with the smallest distance
from the closed end of the sensor is assigned to the output
function "Edge 1." Of the two negative contrasts, the position of
the contrast with the greatest distance from "Edge1" is assigned
to output function "Edge 2." The two remaining contrasts are
not used for any further purposes.
Edges 1 to 4 are identified by E1 to E4.

DSE-17 www.maxcess.euMI 1064 1 C
If there is no suitable contrast for an outer edge, it is assumed
that the edge is outside the field of view. The corresponding
extreme value of its signal range is assigned to the relevant out-
put functions.
Note:
When materials with unevenly distributed material thickness
(cloudy) are being scanned, this sensor behavior for blocking
web guiding (ASC job) by a corresponding setting or special
programming of the web guide controller should always be used
to prevented incorrect web guiding (for example for D-MAX
M404074).
table
page 9-2
Note:
The sensor is automatically calibrated to the transparency of the
material. If the density of the material is not distributed evenly
(cloudy), it is therefore possible that the output signal will be
subject to greater fluctuations than is the case without these
properties.

Calibrating the sensor
inputs of the web guide
controller When the DSE-17 sensor is connected to the web guide controller
for the first time, the selected sensor input of the web guide
controller must be calibrated to the output signals of the DSE-17.
This ensures that the web guide controller and sensor use the
same standard of evaluation.
This process must be performed for each of the up to four
signals of the sensor (for example the edge signal or dirt
contamination signal).
For the assignment of sensor signals to inputs of the web guide
controllers, see the configuration drawing for the DSE-17 in the
system documentation.
Note:
If no key is pressed for more than 2minutes the sensor returns
to its regular operation state.

DSE-17 After final installation, the sensor must be recalibrated to
achieve the best accuracy.
Due to certain circumstances such as changes in environmental
conditions (major changes in temperature, etc.) or wear tracks
on the safety panes of the sensor, it may become necessary to
recalibrate the sensor. Especially when transparent material is
being scanned, regular calibration may be required to maintain
measurement accuracy.
Note:
If no key is pressed for more than 2minutes the sensor returns
to its regular operation state. No calibration data will be saved.
