FAQ
Q1: What is TAKEX FTHV74BC?
A: FTHV74BC is a heat-resistant side-view through-beam fiber optic unit rated for temperatures up to +105°C, featuring a φ4 mm cylindrical sensing head for non-contact object detection.
Q2: What detection method does FTHV74BC use?
A: FTHV74BC uses through-beam detection by monitoring changes in light between the transmitter and receiver to detect object presence or passage.
Q3: What is the maximum operating temperature of FTHV74BC?
A: The ambient operating temperature range is −30 to +105°C, allowing the fiber optic unit to operate at temperatures up to +105°C.
Q4: What is the sensing tip size and optical configuration of FTHV74BC?
A: FTHV74BC features a φ4 mm cylindrical sensing tip with a φ2.3 mm side-facing optical window for side-view detection.
Q5: What is the maximum detecting distance of FTHV74BC?
A: With the F85RN fiber amplifier in long-distance mode, the detecting distance is 2,450 mm. Detecting distances vary depending on the amplifier and operating mode.
Q6: What is the detecting distance of FTHV74BC with F80R?
A: With the F80R fiber amplifier, the detecting distance is 830 mm in long-distance mode and 460 mm in high-speed mode.
Q7: How long is the FTHV74BC fiber, and can it be cut?
A: FTHV74BC includes a 2 m free-cutting fiber that can be trimmed to suit equipment cable routing requirements.
Q8: What are the fiber materials and allowable bending radius of FTHV74BC?
A: The fiber has a heat-resistant polyethylene covering and a plastic core. Its cable diameter is φ2.2 mm, its core diameter is φ1.0 mm, and its allowable bending radius is R30 (30 mm).
Q9: Which fiber amplifiers are compatible with FTHV74BC?
A: FTHV74BC supports F2R, F70, F80R, and F85RN fiber amplifiers. Detecting distances vary with the selected amplifier and operating mode.
Q10: What is the difference between FTHV74BC and FTH7BC?
A: Both models are heat resistant up to +105°C. FTHV74BC features a φ4 mm cylindrical side-view head, while FTH7BC uses an M4/M2.6 stepped threaded tip for different mounting requirements.
