Fiber optic amplifiers S7 Series

Datasensing S7 Series

The S7 Series offers a high-performance family of fibre-optic sensor amplifiers, engineered for compact installation, ultra-fine detection resolution, and industrial-grade reliability. With a 12-bit high-resolution amplifier, response times as fast as 50 µs and housing width just 10 mm, the series provides exceptional precision, minimal footprint, and fast detection of small objects or low-contrast targets. 

Design & Functionality

• The amplifiers feature a housing width of just 10 mm (dimensions 10 × 40 × 65 mm) making them ideal for very tight machine side-mounting or DIN-rail mounting in control panels. 
• Core features include:
  • 12-bit resolution (4096 steps) enabling high detection accuracy of very small or low-contrast targets. 
  • Response time down to 50 µs and switching frequencies up to ~10 kHz in “fast mode”, making them suitable for high-throughput sensing applications. 
  • Variants with white LED emission for improved contrast on diverse backgrounds. 
  • Sensitivity adjustment via Teach-In with display or multiturn trimmer for cost-optimised setups. 
  • Output logic selectable (PNP or NPN), Light-On/Dark-On selectable, and compact options with cable or M8 connector. 
  • Protection rating IP67 with ABS housing, making them suitable for demanding industrial environments. 

Total Crossed Beams

(Here interpreted as delivering full reliable detection coverage rather than literal crossed optical beams.)

• The S7 Series ensures a stable detection field, even when using remote fibre-optic heads or in constrained spaces, leading to fewer missed signals and improved repeatability.
• Its ultra-slim housing and high-resolution amplification mean that you can deploy in tight spaces without sacrificing detection performance.

Beam Pitch Options

(Interpreted here as variant options of speed, resolution, connector type rather than literal beam spacing.)

• Example: Display & Teach-In version with nominal sensing distance ~25 mm. 
• Example: Trimmer version, cost-optimised, used for standard detection tasks. 
• Example: Fast mode version with switching up to ~10 kHz and response ~50 µs for high-throughput. 
• These variants allow you to select a model that matches your fibre-optic head, mounting clearance, speed requirement and budget — offering design flexibility.

Intrinsic Synchronism

• Optics (via fibre-optic head), electronics and output logic are integrated in one compact housing — no external synchronisation or extra modules required — simplifying wiring and reducing installation complexity.
• With built-in display or setting interface, LED indicators, remote-teach capability or trimmer adjustment, commissioning is fast and maintenance is simpler.

Operational Advantages

• High-precision detection in compact format: With 12-bit resolution and ultra-fast response, the S7 Series excels at detecting small parts, fine fibres, or low-contrast targets.
• Space-saving slope: The 10 mm wide housing allows installation in dense machine frames or control panels where many sensors might be aligned side by side.
• Flexible integration: With selectable logic, multiple adjustment methods, connector/cable options and industrial protection (IP67), these sensors integrate into a wide variety of automation environments.
• Applications: Ideal for electronics assembly (fibre detection), packaging machinery (small parts on conveyors), medical device production, pharmaceutical feed-systems, and any automated line requiring fibre-optic sensing, small footprint, and high detection repeatability.
