Key Performance Features

• The 80 µs HIGH SPEED mode keeps pace with fast-moving production lines.
• Six response modes let you trade speed for noise stability as needed.
• Two control outputs handle dual-threshold or dual-channel switching tasks.
• Interference prevention supports 0 to 4 units, depending on mode and sensor head.
• Protection circuits guard against reverse polarity, over-current, and surge events.
• Network expansion works through separately available NU series units.

Installation Guide

• Mount the LV-N11CN on a DIN rail as the main amplifier.
• Plug the M8 connector in firmly and tighten the coupling nut by hand.
• Wire the leads to the 24 VDC supply and check polarity before power-on.
• Add expansion units through the side connector and keep totals at 17 or fewer.
• Count each 2-output type as 2 units when you total the system size.
• Set LIGHT-ON or DARK-ON with the switch before you begin operation.
• Adjust timer values from 1 ms to 9,999 ms to match your process timing.
• Apply derating when you install multiple units close together.

FAQ

• Q: Can the LV-N11CN run on its own as a main unit?
  A: Yes. It is the main amplifier, and you can add expansion units beside it.
• Q: How many control outputs does it offer?
  A: It provides 2 NPN open collector outputs plus 1 external input.
• Q: How many units can one system hold?
  A: You can connect up to 17 total units, and a 2-output type counts as 2 units.
• Q: What response time can I select?
  A: You can choose from 80 µs, 250 µs, 500 µs, 1 ms, 4 ms, or 16 ms.
• Q: Does it support network communication?
  A: It has no built-in port, but NU series network units add that function.
• Q: Is the item new and original?
  A: Yes, we supply a brand-new original unit with every order.
• Q: When will my order ship?
  A: We keep stock ready and send orders within 5 days by DHL, FedEx, or UPS.
