AutomationDirect DFP-AP-1A Amplifier 10-30 VDC

AutomationDirect DFP-AP-1A is a 1-channel fiber amplifier with a PNP output, designed to interface with plastic cuttable fiber optic sensors. It operates from 10–30 VDC and comes in a compact plastic DIN-rail mountable housing (10 x 31 x 60 mm) with a 2 m pigtail connection for straightforward wiring. The amplifier is IP64-rated for dust and water resistance in typical industrial environments and supports selectable light-on or dark-on operation to accommodate different fiber configurations. Sensitivity is set via a 12-turn potentiometer with an illuminated scale, enabling precise adjustment to your sensing target. This model is specifically intended for use with plastic cuttable fibers, providing a reliable end-to-end sensing solution that converts fiber signals into a clean, single PNP switch output. Its small footprint and simple wiring make it suitable for compact control panels and integration with AutomationDirect’s DFP fiber optic family, delivering a dependable, maintainable option for precise presence or gap sensing in automation, packaging, and general manufacturing workflows.
