Only cabled models (2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated PVC-jacketed cable) are listed.
To order the 2 m (6.5 ft) PVC-jacketed cable with a 4-pin M12 male quick-disconnect connector model, add "Q" to the model number (for example, PVA100N6Q).
The following models are no longer available for order but are still covered by the information in this document.
- PVA225N6Q, PVA225N6E, and PVA225N6RQ
- PVA300N6 and PVA300N6Q
- PVA375N6, PVA375N6R, and PVA375N6RQ
## Overview
The PVA Series Parts Verification Array is a simple, easy-to-use light screen suited to many part assembly and object detection applications.
The PVA has two components: an emitter and a receiver. The receiver's solid-state output interfaces to a system controller, which is preprogrammed by a supervisor for a specific sequence of tasks. Mounted so that the beams stretch across each bin in an assembler’s work station, the PVA then signals the assembler (by means of easy-to-see job lights) which bins contain items to be picked in a given operation and in what order they should be picked.
As the assembler reaches into each bin, the system senses if the correct part has been taken, then signals the next bin in the sequence. The system may be wired to signal an alarm for the assembler and/or a supervisor in the event an incorrect part is selected.
The major benefit of a PVA-driven system is increased efficiency, due to simplified job training, increased quality control (no skipped components), and reduced rework and inspections. The PVA speeds the resumption of work after breaks and other distractions. And it is ideal for multilingual workplaces where communication may be an issue.
## Installation
Multiple sensor pairs located farther than the sensor's effective maximum range (approximately 2 m or 6.5 ft) from one another are unlikely to cause crosstalk problems. However, when multiple sensor pairs are mounted in a confined area, take care to avoid crosstalk between them. To avoid crosstalk:
- Alternate the relative position of adjacent emitter/receiver pairs.
- Alternate the Frequency configuration of adjacent pairs.
Mount emitter and receiver pairs parallel, with both cable ends pointing the same direction.

## Mounting
The wide beam pattern of PVA emitters and receivers simplifies their alignment. M4 stainless steel fasteners and two stainless steel brackets are included with each sensor.
Mount each emitter and its corresponding receiver parallel to one another in the same plane, with their cable ends pointing the same direction, and their tops and bottoms aligned.
**==> picture [62 x 8] intentionally omitted <==**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Mounting Hardware
**----- End of picture text -----**
1. From a common point of reference, make measurements to locate the emitter and receiver in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
2. Mount the included brackets to the top and bottom of each sensor, as shown.
3. Mount the emitter and receiver in their brackets, being careful to position the red lenses of the two units directly facing each other. (Remember, the cable ends of both sensors must point in the same direction to ensure proper sensing.)
4. Measure from one or more reference planes (for example, the building or bin floor) to the same point(s) on the emitter and receiver to verify their mechanical alignment. (If the sensors are mounted exactly vertical or horizontal, a carpenter’s level may be helpful. A straightedge or a string extended between the sensors may also be helpful.)
5. Also check by eye for line-of-sight alignment.
6. Make any necessary final mechanical adjustments, and hand-tighten the bracket hardware.
**==> picture [50 x 123] intentionally omitted <==**
7. After the electrical wiring is complete, check for beam alignment. If necessary, re-align the emitter and receiver at that time.
## Wiring
All models feature integral 2 m (6.5 ft) long, 3.3 mm (0.13 inch) dia. PVC-jacketed cables. Models whose model numbers end in “Q” are terminated with 4-pin M12 male quick-disconnect (QD) connectors; other models have unterminated ends.

Wiring is functionally identical for cabled and quick-disconnect receiver models.
- See Configuration for job light enable input requirements.
NOTE: Blue wire (DC common) is internally connected to emitter and receiver housings.
## Configuration
PVA configuration is accomplished by using the DIP switches on the emitter and receiver.
To configure the PVA, remove the Configuration Switch Cover using the supplied plastic screwdriver:
**==> picture [416 x 126] intentionally omitted <==**
**----- Start of picture text -----**
Cover Removal Cover Replacement – Aligning Cover Cover Replacement – Pressing Cover
fe £
**----- End of picture text -----**
To remove the cover, insert a fingernail or small screwdriver into the slot and apply gentle pressure, angling away from the sensor lens. The cover remains tethered to the sensor housing.
To replace the switch cover, align one edge of the cover with the edge of the sensor housing opening. Then press the front corners into place.
Set the DIP switches as desired, using the same plastic screwdriver to avoid damaging the switches or causing a short circuit.
The switches determine four status operating modes:
- A/B frequency (to avoid crosstalk from multiple pairs of sensors)
- Light/dark operate
- Solid/flashing job light (depending on assembler and/or supervisor preference)
- Gate polarity
