WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.
Overview
The D10 Expert Small Object Counter sensor is a high-performance plastic
fiber optic amplifier that has been optimized for small object counting
using through-beam fiber optic arrays. Fiber optic arrays emit and receive
light over an area instead of a narrow beam. Having an area of light
makes alignment and positioning control of the object less critical than
using single point emitter and receiver fiber optic assemblies. Because the
object only breaks part of the fiber optic array, reliable detection requires
very precise thresholds, an auto compensation tracking algorithm, and
high speed electronics to make split-second decisions.
The setup and configuration of the advanced D10D sensor has been
reduced to the act of applying power to the device with the fiber optic
assemblies rigidly mounted in position. The user also has access to a
comprehensive collection of setup and configuration parameters through
the sensor’s advanced setup menu, but for most applications the default
options provide superb performance and reliability.

Upon power-up, the clear-state light level is measured and appropriate
switching thresholds are established, making the fiber optic sensor
system a stable, fast, and reliable small object counter. The clear-state
light level can be reset by performing a 2 second hold on the dynamic (+)
push button or single-clicking the remote line.
4
Continued reliable operation is ensured as the thresholds adapt to
changing signal levels over time using Banner Engineering’s auto
compensation tracking algorithm. The sensor continuously tracks the
clear-state light level and makes fine adjustments to the switching
thresholds as required because of dust or contamination building up on
the fiber optic array and for ambient temperature changes.
5
dynamic
The sensor features either two NPN or two PNP outputs, depending on
your model. Each output serves a different purpose. The discrete output 1
(white wire) switches whenever an object breaks the fiber optic array and
can be used for counting. The Health Mode output 2 (black wire) switches
when the fiber optic array becomes contaminated to a point that the auto
compensation tracking algorithm cannot sufficiently adjust the thresholds
to ensure reliable detection (see Health Mode Alarm on page 3).
6
The duration of the discrete output 1 (white wire) can be increased
(stretched) to ensure accurate counting. The amount of increase is a user
configurable percentage of the detection event duration; the default
increase time is 50% more than the event duration. Banner calls this
feature a Dynamic Event Stretcher (DES), and it prevents errant double
counts of translucent gel-caps and other small objects of that type. The
DES provides a “smart” OFF-delay that is independent of application
speed and can be adjusted from 0% to 100% of the detection event
duration.

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.
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
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 clearstate light level (see Single-Point Window SET on page 7).

Sensor Programming
Programming Procedures. Use the Dynamic (+) and Static (-) buttons to access and set programming parameters. For
remote programming, connect a switch or digital input to the gray wire (remote line); the length of the individual pulses is
equal to the value T when 0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds.
Returning to RUN mode. Exit Setup mode by stepping through the entire Setup process (see Sensor Setup on page
4), by escaping out of the Setup process, or by exceeding the 60 second inactivity time-out. To escape out of the Setup
process, press and hold both the Static (-) and Dynamic (+) buttons for 2 seconds. (For remote programming, press and
hold the remote line for 2 seconds). The sensor always saves the selected settings and returns to Run mode.

Gate Input
The pink wire is configured as a gate input. When this wire is pulled low (e.g., to the sensor ground), it inhibits the outputs
from switching while all other sensor functions continue to be enabled. This feature is useful for controlling when the
outputs are allowed to change states. Gate input function response time is 1 millisecond.
Single-Point Window SET
A Window SET sets a single output condition that extends above
and below the taught condition by a selectable offset percentage (2,
3, 4, 5, or 10%).
Taught
Condition
In Dark Operate, a Window SET sets a single OFF condition that
extends above and below the taught condition. All other conditions
(lighter or darker) result in ON output.
In Light Operate, a Window SET sets a single ON condition that
extends above and below the taught condition. All other conditions
(lighter or darker) result in OFF output.
Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by changing Light/
Dark Operate status in SETUP mode.
