Product Overview
Banner D12SN6FP is a D12 series DIN rail mount photoelectric fiber optic amplifier engineered for use with cut-to-length plastic fiber optic assemblies. Operating on 10 to 30 V DC, this compact unit features complementary NPN (sinking) outputs for simultaneous normally open and normally closed operation with a maximum 150 mA continuous load. A front-panel 7-segment LED bargraph provides real-time optical signal strength monitoring, while a top-accessible potentiometer allows fine sensitivity tuning for challenging sensing targets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of fiber optic cables work with this amplifier?
Designed for use with standard cut-to-length plastic fiber optic cables. Plastic fibers insert directly into the front optical ports and lock into position.
What are the output wiring connections for the pre-wired cable?
The pre-wired 4-conductor cable uses standard color coding: brown is DC positive (+10-30V DC), blue is DC negative/common (-), black is the normally open (NO) NPN sinking output, and white is the normally closed (NC) NPN sinking output.
Does this unit require an external bracket or does it snap directly onto a DIN rail?
The D12SN6FP snaps directly onto standard 35 mm DIN rail tracks, and the included accessory packet also contains an auxiliary mounting bracket and hardware for flat-surface installation.
Does this amplifier work with glass fiber optic cables?
No. The D12SN6FP is designed exclusively for cut-to-length plastic fiber optic assemblies. Glass fiber optic cables use threaded or smooth metal ferrules that do not fit the plastic fiber clamp mechanism on this body.
Plastic fiber lets you run a sensing beam into tight machinery spaces where no standard sensor body could ever squeeze. Lock in your fiber lines, tune the bargraph, and let it watch your feed without missing a beat.
