T3 ensors dc-voltage eries Fixed-Field Mode Overview T3 eries self-contained fixed-field sensors are small, powerful, infrared diffuse mode sensors with far-limit cutoff (a type of background suppression). Their high excess gain and fixed-field technology allow them to detect objects of low reflectivity, ile ignoring background surfaces. The cutoff distance is fixed. s and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance. Fixed-Field ensing Theory of Operation The T3FF compares the reflections of its emitted light beam () from an object back to the sensor s two differently aimed detectors, R and (see Figure ). f the near detector (R) light signal is stronger than the far detector () light signal (see object, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the object. f the far detector () light signal is stronger than the near detector (R) light signal (see object B, beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor ignores the object. The cutoff distance for model T3FF sensors is fixed at 2, 4 or 6 millimeters (8", 6", or 24"). Objects lying beyond the cutoff distance are usually ignored, even if they are highly reflective. However, it is possible to falsely detect a background object, under certain conditions (see Reflectivity and Placement). n the drawings and discussion on these pages, the letters, R, and identify how the sensor s three optical elements (mitter, ear Detector R, and Far Detector ) line up across the face of the sensor. The location of these elements defines the sensing axis (see Figure 2). The sensing axis becomes important in certain situations, such as those illustrated in Figures 5 and 6. ear Detector Far Detector mitter Receiver lements R Lenses Object ensing Range Object is sensed if amount of light at R is greater than the amount of light at Figure. Fixed-field concept utoff Object B or ensor etup ensing Reliability For highest sensitivity, position the target object for sensing at or near the point of maximum excess gain. The excess gain curves for these products are shown on page 5. Maximum excess gain for all models occurs at a lens-to-object distance of about 4 mm (.5"). ensing at or near this distance will make maximum use of each sensor s available sensing power. The background must be placed beyond the cutoff distance. (ote that the reflectivity of the background surface also may affect the cutoff distance.) Following these two guidelines will improve sensing reliability. Reflectivity and Placement void mirror-like backgrounds that produce specular reflections. False sensor response will occur if a background surface reflects the sensor s light more strongly to the near detector, or sensing detector (R), than to the far detector, or cutoff detector (). The result is a false O condition (Figure 3). To cure this problem, use a diffusely reflective (matte) background, or angle either the sensor or the background (in any plane) so the background does not reflect light back to the sensor (see Figure 4). Position the background as far beyond the cutoff distance as possible. n object beyond the cutoff distance, either stationary (and en positioned as shown in Figure 5), or moving past the face of the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sensing axis, can cause unwanted triggering of the sensor if more light is reflected to the near detector than to the far detector. The problem is easily remedied by rotating the sensor 9 (Figure 6). The object then reflects the R and fields equally, resulting in no false triggering. better solution, if possible, may be to reposition the object or the sensor. R ensing xis s a general rule, the most reliable sensing of an object approaching from the side occurs en the line of approach is parallel to the sensing axis. Figure 2.

T3 ensors dc-voltage eries olor ensitivity The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be important for some applications. t is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff distance for lower reflectance targets will be slightly shorter than for higher reflectance targets (see Figure-of-Merit information on page 5). This behavior is known as color sensitivity. For example, an excess gain of (see page 5) for an object that reflects / as much light as the 9% ite card is represented by the horizontal graph line at excess gain =. n object of this reflectivity results in a far limit cutoff of approximately 9 mm (8"), for the 2 mm (8") cutoff model for example; thus 9 mm represents the cutoff for this sensor and target. These excess gain curves were generated using a ite test card of 9% reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less than 9% reflect less light back to the sensor, and thus require proportionately more excess gain in order to be sensed with the same reliability as more reflective objects. When sensing an object of very low reflectivity, it may be especially important to sense it at or near the distance of maximum excess gain.
