Point
Advanced DPC (Dynamic Power Control) [PAT.P]

Predictive Maintenance to Reduce Downtime

An alarm output* has been added to the DPC that automatically compensates differences in the incident level. A maintenance signal is output when the incident level drops due to dirt or vibration for use in predictive maintenance. (We recommend DPC for through-beam or retro-reflective models.)
*An alarm output is supported only on models with two outputs.
