1 INTRODUCTION
About these operating
instructions These Operating Instructions describe the installation,
operation, commissioning, and maintenance of the DSE-23
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
system
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 usage The digital infrared sensor DSE-23 is used for non-contact
measurement of the lateral offset of a material web being
guided in a customer system. The sensor is suitable for
– Web edge guiding and
– Web center guiding for dual application.
The sensor can be used to control both opaque and transparent
materials.
A web guide controller must be used with transparent materials
to calibrate the sensor to the material. For more information,
see the web guide controller operating instructions.
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.

INTRODUCTION1 - 2

Improper usage – 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.
Operating principle The DSE-23 sensor works with modulated infrared light in the
wavelength range of 875nm, making the sensor relatively
insensitive to external sources of light.
The light source generates an infrared light. Depending on how
far away the material web is in the sensor’s field of view, a part
of this light strikes the receiver. Based on this the receiver
generates the output signal from which the precise position of
the web edge is determined.
The gap width GW and throat length GL are the characteristic
dimensions of the sensor.
It is possible to operate the sensor with either a supply voltage
of 12V or 24V. The output signal would automatically be
switched over in that case.
– Power supply voltage 12V:
The sensor provides an output signal in the range from 0 to
10mA. Thus the sensor can be connected to all Fife web
guide controllers.
– Power supply voltage 24V:
The sensor provides an output signal in the range from 4 to
20mA. This can be used to establish a wire-break-proof
connection to external devices.
The sensor has a built-in LED display, visible from both sides,
and shows directly on the sensor information about the
operating status like for instance the existence of the supply
voltage, position of the edge of the web inside the field of view
or error messages.
The sensor is delivered with an air sweep connection.
Depending on the type of dirt contamination, this makes it
possible to keep the protectors, which cover transmitter and
receiver, free of large pieces of dirt with a continuous or pulsing
flow of air.

Option A digital production data acquisition to Fife D-MAXE controller
extends the range of applications for the sensor inside the
digital network environment. Additional sensor data can be
provided to other hardware equipment if the Fife D-MAXE is
linked appropriately to the network.
The protectors can be made of plastic or glass.

WARNING
Danger of injury by crushing
Do not place your hands on or near moving parts (rollers,
material web, etc.) during operation.
Danger of injury due to cutting on the edge of the material web
Do not place your hands on the edge of the (moving) material
web during operation.
ATTENTION
The sensor could become unusable during the operation by
damages.
The sensor must not be placed in operation unless it has
been securely mounted.
Depending on the material of the guided web, if the web rubs
on the protectors of the sensor, the protectors may become
damaged. If a protector is scratched and/or unclear, the
material web can no longer be reliably guided.
Depending on the material of the web that is being guided, it
is possible that the web edge could grind against the inside of
the sensor fork, resulting in notches and incisions on the
sensor.

6 TROUBLESHOOTING
LED display The sensor displays information about the operation state when
the LEDs are lit or flashing. The information is divided into
groups as follows:
Normal operation:
The output signal of the sensor is displayed. The LEDs flicker/
light up depending on the position of the material web within
the sensor field of view.
Error message:
Error n = 1 .. 3:
The output signal of the sensor (10s long) and the flashing
pattern of an error are displayed alternately. An error is
displayed until it has been corrected. It is still possible to use
the sensor.
Error n = 4 .. 7:
Only the blinking pattern of an error is displayed. The sensor is
no longer supplying a valid output signal.
Fault In the event of an error, the LEDs flash with a certain pattern:
flash n times for 0.5s on - 0.5s off, followed by 1s pause.
The number of flashing pulses between two pauses encodes the
error number "n“.
