Is There An Easy Way To Check Whether The Control Output Of The Photomicro Sensors Is Operating Properly?


The operation can be easily checked with the following procedure using a tester.
 
Output method and checking procedure Determination procedure
NPN open-collector output
A resistor is inserted between
and OUT, and the voltage
between OUT and is measured
using a tester.

R: Approx. 4.7 kΩ, 1/2W
The control output is operating property it the
measurement voltage changes to low and high
by the lighting turning ON or OFF. (See note.)
Output status Text measurement voltage
NPN collector load built-in
voltage output
The voltage between OUT and
is measured using a tester.

R: Approx. 4.7 kΩ, 1/2W
Output transistor
ON
L: 1 V max.
(residual output voltage)
PNP open-collector output
A resistor is inserted between
OUT and and the voltage
between and OUT is measured
using a tester.

R: Approx. 4.7 kΩ, 1/2W
Output transistor
OFF
H: Power supply voltage


 

Note:This is a simple check that determines only whether the control output is malfunctioning.
