ISG-A143

The ISG-A143 adds teach functionality to the automatic single-channel amplifier platform. It supports teach1 / teach2 modes, test input, selectable light / dark switching, selectable transmit frequency, and NPN / PNP transistor output with separate alarm signaling.

Up to 50 m rangeTeach1 / Teach23.7 / 4.1 kHzTest inputLight / DarkNPN / PNP transistor

Key Features

  • Automatic transmit power adjustment with teach function.
  • Teach1 / Teach2 operating modes for application setup.
  • Basic transmit level selectable between low1 and low2.
  • Light / dark switching and 2-way transmit-frequency selection.
  • NPN / PNP transistor output plus PNP alarm output.
  • Front-panel test / reset and teach input workflow.

Best Fit Applications

  • Applications that benefit from teach-based threshold setup.
  • Long-range optical sensing in harsh industrial process areas.
  • Panels using transistor output logic and remote test input.
  • Installations where limited but useful field configuration is needed.
