## WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection 

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

## Overview 

The SLO Series Slot Sensor (sometimes called a “Fork Sensor”) comprises an opposed-mode emitter and its receiver inside a single convenient housing. 

Opposed-mode sensing is very reliable, and the single selfcontained housing provides easy installation, with no sensor alignment required. In addition, the molded-in arrow on the emitter portion of the housing and the slotted design on the receiver portion of the housing show at a glance the position of the beam, simplifying installation placement.

> 1 To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, SLO30VB6 W/30. Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.

## LED Indicators 

The Slot Sensor features two LED Indicators: Power (green) and Signal (amber). They indicate the following: Green ON: Power ON 

Amber ON: Sensor sees light 

Amber flashing: Excess gain is marginal (1 to 1.5×) in light condition 

## Select Light Operate/Dark Operate 

Connect the gray wire to +V (10 V dc to 30 V dc) for Dark Operate; and to dc common (or open) for Light Operate. See wiring diagrams.
