Today, Wuxi Rihuan Sensor Technology Co., Ltd. will introduce to you the quick identification techniques for the transmitting and receiving ends of safety photoelectric barriers, enabling you to easily complete the installation and debugging of the equipment. 



The correct distinction between the transmitter and receiver of the safety grating is the key to the stable operation of industrial protection equipment. Confusion can easily lead to equipment failures and safety hazards. It can be quickly distinguished from four aspects:

  • Appearance identification: The marking for the transmitting end is TX (with multiple red markings), and the marking for the receiving end is RX (with multiple blue markings). All genuine products will have these markings prominently displayed on the casing, providing clear visual distinction. 

  • Interface Function: The transmitting end interface only connects to the power supply, without any signal output lines; the receiving end includes a power supply and signal output lines, and can be connected to PLC / relays. High-quality products adopt foolproof interfaces, physically preventing reverse connections. 

  • Indicator light status: After power-on, the transmitting end indicator light remains constantly on, merely indicating power supply; the receiving end with no obstruction has a green light that remains constantly on; if the light beam is blocked, the red light will illuminate and trigger an alarm, dynamically reflecting the working status. 

  • Debugging operation: The transmitting end does not have a debugging button; it can start working immediately after power-on. The receiving end is equipped with function buttons, allowing for the setting of parameters such as response time and output mode. Some products support one-click pairing, simplifying the debugging process.
