AccuBeam 3 Digital Line Guide Sensor

Introduction
This section describes the installation and operation of the AccuBeam 3 Digital Line Guide
sensor. The Digital Line Guide uses reflected light to track a registration line printed on the web.
An optional remote station is available for applications where the sensor cannot be easily
reached. The remote station duplicates the sensor’s switchpad and display, and provides access
to all parameters and graphic displays.
The Digital Line Guide provides a line-loss /edge-loss output signal through the MICRO 4000
NET or MICRO 1000 controllers. This option is enabled by setting parameter 47. Refer to page
17 for more information about setting controller parameters.
The Digital Line Guide is compatible with the following controllers and remote station:
MICRO 4000 NET or MICRO 1000 Controllers
The Digital Line Guide requires an interface cable to connect to these controllers. Cables
are available in standard lengths of 12’ [3.6m], 25’ [7.6m], 50’ [15.2 m], 75’ [22.8m], and
100’ [30.5m].
