02 / ns length
NS060: select the cable length
NS060-5A, NS060-10A and NS060-30A specify 5 m, 10 m and 30 m cables respectively. Position the sensor in the same environment as the LED display.
03 / sfp use
10G SFP: optical data transmission
The separate SFP+ model supports duplex LC single-mode links up to 10 km. It uses an electrical edge connector and documented Ethernet or InfiniBand applications.
04 / outdoor installation
Install NS060 for outdoor sensing
Mount NS060 through the substrate with its washer and nut, keep it in the display environment, and follow the documented IP65 sealing steps.
Connect and position the selected accessory
Confirm the accessory role
Use an NS060 variant for ambient light sensing. Use the 10G SFP Module-S for its documented single-mode optical data link; the connection types serve different functions.
Position the NS060 correctly
Connect to a device with a light-sensor connector and place the sensor in the display environment. Follow the documented sealing and regular inspection guidance.
Check the SFP host and link
Verify the host supports the stated SFP+ connection and optical protocol. Use single-mode fiber and check the mechanical drawing before installation.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do the three NS060 variants differ?
The manufacturer specifies cable lengths of 5 m for NS060-5A, 10 m for NS060-10A and 30 m for NS060-30A. Choose a cable length that lets the sensor occupy the same environment as the LED display.
Does NS060 need a separate power supply?
The NS060 documentation states that no external power supply is required. It connects to a sending, asynchronous or multifunction card with a light-sensor connector; the sensor rated voltage is 5 V DC.
Is the 10G SFP Module-S a light sensor?
No. The 10G SFP Module-S is an optical data transceiver with duplex LC and a 20-pin electrical connector. NS060 measures ambient brightness through a light-sensor connection. Select according to the required function.
What does the NS060 measure, and where should it be installed?
NS060 measures 0 to 65,535 lux. Install it in the same environment as the LED display using the documented M30×1.5 mounting arrangement; the specification states IP65 and calls for outdoor waterproof adhesive at the body/substrate joint.
What optical link is documented for the 10G SFP Module-S?
It is a single-mode SFP+ transceiver for 10GBASE-LR and the listed InfiniBand modes, with duplex LC and a documented reach up to 10,000 m under the stated fiber conditions. Confirm the exact host separately.
Which specifications can be downloaded?
The current downloads are NS060 Light Sensor Specifications V1.1.5 and 10G SFP Module-S Optical Module Specifications V1.0.0, both in English.
