D4RF Series

Digital Fiber Amplifiers

Easy-to-Read, Easy-to-Use,
Digital Fiber Sensor Amplifiers with IO-Link supported

Features

  • Easy-to-read OLED display
  • Fiber insertion indicators for instant verification
  • Large LED indicators for excellent visibility
  • Contributes to smart factories with IO-Link support
Enhanced Operability with Updated User Interfaces
Not only hardware updates of highly visible OLED display and large LED indicators, but also new user-friendly functions, such as hold display of received light amounts and fiber insertion indicators have greatly improved operation of high functional fiber sensors.
In addition to these features, IO-Link compatibility allows this new generation fiber amplifier to meet the needs of smart factories.
