3.2.1 Output Selection
Both CH1 and CH2 can be programmed for either light operate (LO) or dark operate (DO). The Channel 2 menu includes two
additional menus: Health (Health Mode Alarm) and Comp (Complementary Programming).
Health Mode Alarm
The Health Mode Alarm alerts you when preventative maintenance becomes necessary to ensure reliable sensing. The
Health Mode output 2 is Active when the system is OK and operating normally. Health Mode output 2 becomes Inactive when
the system is in a marginal state because of contamination. The system still operates normally and can detect small objects,
but is nearing the alarm state. When the system is completely contaminated and unable to ensure reliable sensing, the
system goes into the alarm state. In the alarm state, the discrete output 1 is forced to the blocked state and can no longer be
used to detect small objects.

displays when discrete output 1 is forced to the blocked state and can no longer be
The sensor may enter Health Mode Alarm for any of these reasons:
1. When first powered up; the fiber optic array may already be contaminated
www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767
11
DF-G3 Long Range Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier
2. If the Window SET procedure fails, indicating the fiber optic array is contaminated and the sensor could not set a
valid clear-state light level for reliable detection
3. If the fiber optic array is contaminated enough that the auto compensation tracking algorithm cannot sufficiently adjust
the thresholds to ensure reliable detection
4. If the fiber optic array is blocked for more than 2 seconds
Return the system to normal operation by cleaning the fiber optic array and performing a Window SET to reset the clear-state
light level (see Window SET on p. 19).
Complementary Programming
When CH2 is selected for Comp (Complementary) operation, its output always switches to the opposite state of CH1.
3.2.2 TEACH Selection
The DF-G3 can be programmed for one of the following TEACH/SET methods:
• Two-Point TEACH
• Dynamic TEACH
• Window SET
• Light SET
• Dark SET
• Calibration SET
Note: A TEACH Selection must be selected by programming before TEACH/SET methods can be used.

3.2.4 Offset Percent
The Offset Percent is used during the Window, Light, or Dark SET methods. The threshold(s) are positioned a programmable
% offset from the taught condition.
The allowable range is 5% minimum to 95% maximum for all response speeds.
The offset percent can also be programmed to Minimum Offset. This allows the DF-G3 to set the
threshold(s) as close as possible to the presented condition, but still provide for reliable sensing.
Note: Offset Percent MUST be programmed to Minimum Offset for Dark SET to accept conditions of no
signal (0 counts).
3.2.5 Auto Thresholds
Auto Thresholds can be programmed to be ON/OFF. The Auto Thresholds algorithm continuously tracks slow changes in the
taught condition(s), and optimizes the threshold(s) to provide for reliable sensing. For Two-Point and Dynamic TEACH, the
algorithm optimizes the threshold to be centered between the light and dark conditions. For Window, Light, and Dark SET,
the algorithm optimizes the threshold(s) to maintain the programmed Offset Percent from the taught condition.
• After programming Auto Thresholds to ON, it is highly recommended to re-perform the TEACH/SET method
• Manual Adjustments are disabled when Auto Thresholds are ON
3 Excess gain = 1 (high sensitivity), opposed mode sensing. PIT46U plastic fiber used for visible LED models.
4 Excess gain = 1 (high sensitivity), opposed mode sensing. IT.83.3ST5M6 glass fiber used for IR models.

DF-G3 Long Range Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier
•
•
Auto Thresholds are automatically disabled in Calibration SET (see Calibration SET on p. 24)
Severe contamination/changes in the taught condition can prevent the Auto Thresholds algorithm from optimizing the
threshold(s). If this occurs, the DF-G3 enters a Threshold Alert or Threshold Error state. See Troubleshooting on p.
25 for more explanation.
3.2.6 Delays/Timers
ON/OFF Delays and ON/OFF One-Shot
timers can be programmed independently for
both CH1 and CH2 for a time period
between between 1 - 9999 ms (a value of 0
disables the delay/timer). Figure 3 on p. 13
defines how the delays/timers affect the
output behavior.
Some combinations of delays/timers are not
allowed. The DF-G3 programming menu
automatically disables invalid combinations
of delays/timers. The following table shows
the allowable combinations of delays/timers:

3.2.7 Sensitivity Selection
The Sensitivity Selection can be programmed independently for CH1 and CH2. Use this setting to increase (lo) or decrease
(high) the switch-point hysteresis from the default (std) setting.
• high—High sensitivity. Use this setting for low contrast sensing
• Std—Standard sensitivity
• Lo—Low sensitivity. Use this setting to stabilize the output in high vibration applications
3.2.8 Input Wire Function
The DF-G3 can be programmed for one of the following input wire functions:
• Off—Ignore all pulses
• Set—Remote TEACH input
• Master—Master sync line output for multi-sensor cross-talk avoidance
• Slave—Slave sync line output for multi-sensor cross-talk avoidance
• LED off—When the input wire is active the emitter LED turns off
• LED on—When the input wire is active the emitter LED turns on
• Gate—When the input wire is active the outputs are locked in their present state; any active delay timers are paused
For remote programming in Set Mode see Remote Input on p. 14.
To configure sensors for master-slave operation, see Sync Master/Slave on p. 15.
3.2.9 Display Readout
The readout of the digital displays can be programmed for the following options:
• Signal/Threshold readout - Numeric (1234) or % (123P)
www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767

DF-G3 Long Range Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier
•
•
ECO mode - Enabled or Disabled (ECO mode dims the displays to reduce current consumption)
Display Orientation - Normal (
) or Flipped (
)
3.2.10 Gain Selection
The DF-G3 can operate in Auto Gain mode or the Gain can be fixed to be in Gain 1...7. In Auto Gain, the DF-G3 optimizes
the gain during a TEACH/SET method for the presented condition(s). While viewing the fixed gains in the Gain Selection
choice list, the DF-G3 will automatically switch to the selected gain and display the measured signal on the Red display. This

The Factory Defaults menu allows the DF-G3 to be easily restored back to original factory default settings (see Factory
Default Settings in Specifications).
3.3 Remote Input
Use the input wire to program the sensor remotely. To program the sensor using the input wire, remote input must be
enabled (inPt SEL = SEt, see Input Wire Function on p. 13). The remote input provides limited programming options (see the
figure below). Pulse the remote input according to the figures and the instructions provided in this manual.
Note: For NPN models, the remote input pulses are active low as shown in the following figures. For PNP
models, the remote input pulses are active high and are inverted from the following figures.

3.4 Sync Master/Slave
Up to seven DF-G3 Long Range Expert Dual Display Fiber Amplifier sensors may be used together in a single sensing
application. To eliminate crosstalk between the sensors, configure one sensor to be the master and the remaining sensors to
be the slaves. In this mode, the sensors alternate taking measurements and the response speed is 2 ms.
Note: Note: In this mode, all sensors must either be NPN or PNP output models.

Configure the first sensor as the Master (inPt SEL = MAST).
In the Master sensor set-up, enter the total number of Slave sensors you will be using (tOtL SLAV = 1 - 6).
For each Slave sensor used, configure the input as a Slave (inPt SEL = SLVE).
Give each Slave its own identifying address (SLAV Addr = 1 - 6).
Connect the Input wires of the Master and all of the Slaves together.
Note: Note: Giving two Slave sensors the same address will cause them to fire their emitters at the same
time in the firing sequence.
3.5 Adjust Mode
Sliding the RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch to the ADJ position allows the user to perform Expert TEACH/SET methods and
Manual Adjustment of the threshold(s).
Note: For the Dual Output models, when teaching CH2, the gain setting will be the same as the gain
setting made during the CH1 teach. Reteaching CH1 may invalidate the previous CH2 teach.
3.5.1 Two-Point TEACH
•
•
Establishes a single switching threshold
Threshold can be adjusted by using the "+" and "-" rocker button (Manual Adjust)
Two-Point TEACH is used when two conditions can be presented statically to the sensor. The sensor locates a single
sensing threshold (the switch point) midway between the two taught conditions, with the Output ON condition on one side,
and the Output OFF condition on the other.
