Specification notes
Q1: What are TAKEX FTL wide-area fiber optic units?
A: FTL706BC, FTL7165BC, FTL7166BC, FTL716BC, and FTL745BC are head-on wide-area through-beam fiber optic units designed for object presence and passage detection.
Q2: What are the main differences among these five models?
A: The primary differences are detecting width and detecting distance. The models offer widths of 1.75, 5.5, 11.1, 16, and 45 mm, along with different sensing head dimensions and materials.
Q3: Which model provides the widest detecting area?
A: FTL745BC provides a detecting width of 45 mm, the widest among these five models.
Q4: Which model is suitable for a narrow sensing area?
A: FTL706BC has a detecting width of 1.75 mm, making it the narrowest option in this group.
Q5: What are the detecting distances of these models?
A: With F80R in long-distance mode, FTL706BC provides 300 mm; FTL7165BC, FTL7166BC, and FTL716BC each provide 680 mm; and FTL745BC provides 540 mm.
Q6: Can the FTL fiber cables be cut to length?
A: Yes. All five models include 2 m free-cutting fibers that can be trimmed to meet equipment cable routing requirements.
Q7: What is the allowable bending radius of these models?
A: All five models have an allowable bending radius of R30 (30 mm), which should be observed during installation.
Q8: Which fiber amplifiers are compatible with these models?
A: These models support F2R, F70, and F80R fiber amplifiers. Detecting distances depend on the fiber model and operating mode.
Q9: How does the FTL745BC fiber covering differ from the other models?
A: FTL745BC uses a polyvinyl chloride fiber covering, while the other four models use polyethylene. All five use plastic fiber cores.
Q10: How should I select a TAKEX FTL wide-area fiber optic unit?
A: First determine the object size and required detecting width. Then compare detecting distances with the selected amplifier, along with available mounting space, fiber length, and allowable bending radius.
