FAQ
Q1: What is the TAKEX BS-R80?
A: The BS-R80 is a lighting confirmation sensor that identifies brightness to determine whether a light source is illuminated.
Q2: What types of light can the BS-R80 detect?
A: It detects visible and near-infrared emitting light sources over a standard wavelength range of 400–900 nm and supports both DC and pulse lighting.
Q3: Can the BS-R80 detect weak LED light?
A: Yes. For continuously lit white LEDs, the light sensitivity range is 10–10,000 lx.
Q4: Can the BS-R80 detect high-speed or pulsed lighting?
A: Yes. It supports pulse-light detection and provides selectable response times down to 1 ms. Pulse-light detection conditions depend on the light source and operating conditions.
Q5: Does the BS-R80 support both NPN and PNP outputs?
A: Yes. NPN and PNP open-collector output modes are selectable, with a rated load current of 50 mA at 30VDC or less.
Q6: Can Light-ON and Dark-ON operation be selected?
A: Yes. The operation mode can be switched between Light-ON and Dark-ON.
Q7: How is the lighting threshold set?
A: The + and − buttons support reference light-level teaching and parameter adjustment, and an external no-voltage teaching input is also provided.
Q8: Can the BS-R80 be used with a fiber optic cable?
A: Yes. The FT105BC-CS dedicated fiber can be used for pinpoint detection and installations where the sensing point must be placed in a confined area.
Q9: What applications are suitable for the BS-R80?
A: Applications include LED device lighting inspection and LED indicator lighting confirmation in consumer electronics and OA equipment.
Q10: Can the BS-R80 detect arc light during welding processes?
A: Yes. It can be used to confirm arc-light reception generated during component welding processes.
