1.2 Product overview
The DST-1web guiding sensor is a smart sensor product,
packaged with a powerful and simple to use operator interface.
The DST-1 sensing element is based on a wide angle, far-
looking NIR (Near Infra-Red) digital image sensor.
The web guiding sensor can drive two independent outputs,
producing edge or line tracking signals, web center or web
width, near edge or far edge, by processing up to four
independent regions of interest in the guided material.
The DST-1 web guiding sensor is capable of guiding variety of
web materials—from opaque to clear, from reflective to an
irregular mesh, a variety of perforated and tabbed edges, and
other challenging materials—by recognizing an edge or line, or
by optional center guiding.
The sensor OI offers a list of built-in functions for diagnostic,
testing and calibration.
The web guiding sensor is designed for continuous use in IP54
environment.

2.3 Basic safety information
Proper use
The DST-1 Web Guiding Sensor With Operator Interface is
intended to be used on machines or systems to aid in the
guiding of a variety of web materials.
For indoor operation, see environmental specifications on
page 46.
Improper use
-Operation outside the technical specifications
-Operation in an Ex-area or intrinsically safe area.
-Outdoor operation.
-Any other use than the proper use shall be deemed
inappropriate.
Installation and commissioning
-Any DST-1 that is damaged must not be installed or put
into operation.
-Only perform installation, maintenance or repair tasks on
the DST-1 when the machine into which it has been
installed has been stopped and is secured from being
turned on.
-Only perform installation, maintenance or repair tasks on
the DST-1 when there is no electrical power in the system.
-The DST-1must be securely mounted before being placed
in operation.
-Only replacement parts obtained from Maxcess may be
used.
-No modifications may be made to the DST-1.
-Do not place electrical cables under mechanical strain.
WARNING –Death or injury can result from static electric
shocks.
Moving webs of material can produce large static voltage
potentials. Protect against electric shocks by ensuring that the
DST-1 is properly connected to a Maxcess web guiding
controller and that the controller is properly grounded via the
PE circuit of the building or machine.

3.5 Analog outputs
3.5.1 DST-1 Analog output 1 and 2
The outputs are designed to provide real-time control signal to a
web guide system. They provide proportional response to detected
web offset.
Both of the outputs are formed by open-drain transistor pins and
the Common Return signal.
Each output requires an external load resistance value of 100 Ohms,
connected between the output and return. (This applies only if a
voltage output is needed in a stand-alone configuration.)
Outputs can be independently configured to deliver range of 0 to10,
0 to 20 or 4 to 20 mA over the input load.
Outputs can be independently configured for an inverted polarity.
For example, 0 to10 can be switched to 10 to 0 output.
The default range setting for the Output 1 is 0 to 10 mA.
The default range setting for the Output 2 is 10 to 0 mA.

3.6 Optical sensor installation
When planning to install DST-1 sensor, please be aware the sensor’s
large field of view and working distance. Any elements of machine
frame in the view can potentially distract the sensor from the web
guiding. Maximize the web view and minimize the presence of non-
related elements to web guiding process. See Table 1.
Sensor operation can be affected by changing light conditions, such
as ambient light changes caused by light sources with a rich IR
component (for example, morning or evening sun visible in window,
or incandescent and halogen lights in the sensor’s direct view).

4.0 DST-1 Password Security
4.1 Overview
Password security settings allow administrators or privileged
operators to protect selected functions from being changed
or performed by personnel who do not have the authority.
Definitions for the purpose of this chapter:
Admin (or privileged operator) has a password and full access
to all menus.
Operator does not have a password and can only access
unlocked button functions.
Locked out = password protected
Login screen = password entry number pad/keyboard
Basic steps to activate security
-Enable a password
-Select the functions you wish to protect
-Set and save a password
-Log out of the Admin menu
All password security settings are reset to NONE after
restoring configurations from a backup source.

NUMERIC allows up to 9 characters, entered on a pop-up
numeric keypad.
ALPHANUMERIC allows up to 11 characters, entered on a
pop-up full keyboard. This option provides a higher level of
security, even if an all-numeric password is chosen.
ALPHANUMERIC passwords can contain any character
available on the DST-1 keyboard.
