Description
The Rockwell Automation 45LFM–CMBA1–D5 Label Sensor
is an innovative electronic sensor used to sense and/or count
labels. A signal is generated as the edge of the label passes
through the sensor. It can be configured to sense the leading
or trailing edge.

Mounting the Sensor
Mount the sensor perpendicular to the web so the web
passes through the sensor gap. The back of the web should
contact the mounting plate. Labels must pass under sensing
area marked [––SENSOR––]. Small labels (38.1mm (1.5in))
must be centered under the sensing area.
Electrical Connections
ATTENTION: Unused wires must be
insulated from contact with other
objects. All power must be off when
installing the sensor. DC ground is
connected to sensor body.
!
Labels must pass under Sensor.
Sensing Area
No power during
connection.
