Description Specifications
The 45CPD sensor is a Class 1 infrared laser sensor that provides Sensing Beam Class 1 laser, IR 905 nm
long distance sensing with both analog and discrete outputs. It is Alignment Beam Visible red Class 2 laser, 650 nm
set up using the Teach-In buttons on the top of the sensor and Spot Size 4 x 7 mm @ 2 m
can be programmed for several modes depending on the (0.16 x 0.27 in. @ 6.56 ft)
application: object detection (single or dual output), object 4 x 12 mm @ 6 m
position (analog output), object detection (background (0.16 x 0.47 in. @ 19.7 ft)
suppression), or object detection (reflector mode). Sensing Range 0.20…6 m (0.7…19.78 ft)
Linearity 40 mm (1.57 in)

General Set Up
The 45CPD is set up using the pushbuttons (SET and ) and the
LED indicators on the top of the sensor.
To begin the Teach-In process, Press the SET button for three
seconds.
This will automatically turn on the visible red alignment laser.
Scrolling through the Teach-In functions is done using the 
button. After the last function is reached the menu is started
again from the first function.
To teach the selected function indicated by the teach-in LEDs as
shown in table above, press SET for approximately three seconds.
The LED will blink three times when complete.
After the desired functions are set, press SET and 
simultaneously for approximately one second to exit the Teach-In
mode. The sensor will begin normal operation based on the
Teach-In settings. The visible red Class 2 laser will turn off and the
infrared Class 1 laser will turn on.
(Note: To reset the sensor to the factory setting, sensor should be
in the operating mode. Press the  button for approximately 15
seconds until the menu LEDs turn on briefly.)
(Note: The Speed Mode of the 45CPD can be adjusted for either a
Fast or Slow mode of operation. The Fast mode enables faster
switching speeds which have a slightly lower repeatability. The
Once in the Teach-In mode press the  until the AS1 LED turns ON.
Position the target at the desired switch on point and then press
the SET button.
(If the target is not within the measuring range or cannot be
detected the AS1 LED will blink.)
Press the  button to advance to the AS2 function which is
indicated by the teach-in LED.
Position the target at the desired switch off point and then press
the SET button.
If desired, the output can be inverted for this switching window
(L.O./D.O. function). Press  until both the AS1 and AS2 LEDs are
turned ON and then press the SET button. This is also indicated
by the “INV” text on the teach-in pad.
After this QA setting has been completed, press SET and 
simultaneously for approximately one second to begin normal
operation.
Object Detection—Dual Output
To set the output for both QA and QB, follow the same teach-in
procedure as the QA Single Output (shown above) and
additionally teach the QB output using the BS1 and BS2 LEDs.

Object Position—Analog Output (4 to 20mA)

Once in the Teach-In mode press the  button and advance until
both the AS1 and BS1 function LEDs are turned on. This is also
indicated by “0% analog” on the teach-in pad.
Position the target at the desired 0% position (4 mA) and then
press the SET button.
(If the target is not within the measuring range or cannot be
detected both AS1 and BS1 LEDs will blink.)
Press the  button and advance until both the AS2 and BS2
function LEDs are turned on. This is also indicated by “100%”
analog on the teach-in pad.
Position the target at the desired 100% position (20 mA) and then
press the SET button.
The 4…20 mA analog output is automatically scaled between the
0% and 100% positions which have been set.
QA Output
Object Detection—Reflector Mode Using a Background
Object as the Reflector
To set the output for QA in the reflector mode, follow the same
procedure as in the single output mode above. Set the AS1 and AS2
switch points such that the background “reflector” will be
approximately midway between them as shown in the figure
below. The background object can be a floor, wall, conveyor, etc.
The output can be set up for Light Operate or Dark Operate by
inverting the output. Press  until both the AS1 and AS2 LEDs are
turned ON and then press the SET button. This is also indicated
by “INV” on the teach-in pad.

600 mm. If the setpoints are less than 600 mm apart, the sensor
will automatically scale the analog output (0…100%) to 600 mm
and the midpoint of this will be automatically set at the midpoint
between the two original setpoints.)
(Note: To invert the slope, the 0% position and 100% position
settings will need to be reversed and reset. The 0% setting is the
“close” setting for a positive slope. For a negative slope the 0%
setting should be the “far” setting.)

Object Detection—Background Suppression

To set the output for QA in a background suppression mode, Publication 75009-268-01(C)
follow the same procedure as in the single output mode above, [068-13807]
