Applications
Clear Bottle or Object Detection
1. Mount the retroreflector.
2. Align the sensor to the retroreflector.
3. Perform Light SET (page 4) with no object present.
4. Using Switchpoint Adjustment (page 6), select the darkest switchpoint which reliably detects
the object. Medium level (16% below the signal from the retroreflector) will work for most
applications. Dark level will provide more robust detection under difficult environmental
conditions (e.g. dust, vibration, etc).
Clear Bottle or Object Counting
1. Mount the retroreflector.
2. Align the sensor to the retroreflector.
3. Disable the auto compensation function. Allow for 10 minute sensor warm-up period.
4. Position the bottles or objects so the beam is passing through the gap between the bottles.
5. Perform Light SET (page 4) on the gap condition.
6. Using Switchpoint Adjustment (page 6), select the darkest switchpoint which reliably detects
the object. Medium level (16% below the signal from the retroreflector) will work for most
applications. Dark level may provide more robust detection under difficult environmental
conditions (e.g. dust, vibration, etc).
Reflective Object Detection
1. Mount the retroreflector.
2. Align the sensor to the retroreflector.
3. Perform Light SET (page 4) with no object present.
4. Using Switchpoint Adjustment (page 6), select clear or medium switchpoint percentage (8%
or 16% below the signal from the retroreflector). This will reduce the chance of specular
reflection affecting the sensor.
