MASSO Homing Sensor
The MASSO homing sensor is a water-resistant infrared fork sensor with no moving parts. A trigger plate on the machine passes between the forks to break the beam at the home position.
Repeatability
Better than 10 µm
Supply
9–24 VDC

CAUTION
Connecting power with reversed polarity damages the sensor.3. Mounting and triggering
The sensor sends an infrared beam from one fork to the other; when something interrupts the beam, the output changes. Mount it where it won't be damaged during operation, so a metal or other suitable trigger plate on the machine passes between the forks at the home position.
INFORMATION
Keep the sensor away from external infrared sources such as direct sunlight – they can cause false triggering.4. Powering the sensors
On MASSO G3 and MASSO G3 Touch, power homing sensors from any of these:
WARNING
Fit a 1 A fuse between the power supply and MASSO to protect against accidental short circuits on the auxiliary power connectors. Without it, the controller can be permanently damaged.CAUTION
The auxiliary power and ground terminals are for low-current devices only. High-current loads can permanently damage the controller.
