WORLD-BM Q8 djustable- ensors Overview The Q8 djustable sensor is a full-featured sensor in a miniature package. t provides background suppression sensing capability for small or difficult-to-reach areas. Models are available with a visible red LD sensing beam, or one of two visible red lasers (see Models table on page ). These adjustable-field sensors are able to detect objects of relatively low reflectivity, while ignoring other objects in the background (beyond the cutoff point). The cutoff distance is mechanically adjustable, using the 5-turn adjustment screw on the sensor top (Figure ). s and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance. djustable- ensing Theory of Operation The sensor 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, object beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor ignores the object. The cutoff distance for these sensors is adjustable. Objects lying beyond the cutoff distance are 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 3). The sensing axis becomes important in certain situations, such as those illustrated in Figures 7 and 8.

To properly set the cutoff point, position the lightest possible background to be used, at the closest position it will come to the sensor during use. Using a small screwdriver in the adjustment screw, adjust the cutoff distance until the threshold is reached and the yellow Light ensed indicator changes state. (f the indicator never comes O, the background is beyond the maximum sensing distance and will be ignored.) Repeat the procedure, using the darkest target, placed in its most distant position for sensing. djust the cutoff approximately midway between the two positions (Figure ). ensing Reliability For highest sensitivity, the sensor-to-object dis tance should be such that the object will be sensed at or near the point of maximum excess gain. The excess gain curves on page show excess gain vs. sensing distance for the minimum and maximum cutoff settings. Maximum excess gain for model Q8V6F00 at a 0 mm cutoff occurs at a lens-to-object distance of about 7 mm, for example. The background must be placed beyond the cutoff distance; more reflective backgrounds should be placed even farther back. Following these two guidelines will maximize sensing reliability.

WORLD-BM Q8 djustable- ensors R Target utoff Figure. et cutoff distance approximately midway between the farthest target and the closest background Reflectivity and Placement void mirror-like backgrounds that produce specular reflections. False sensor re sponse will occur if a back ground surface reflects the sensor s light more strongly to the near detector (R) than to the far detector (). The result is a false O condition (Figure 5). Use of a diffusely-reflective (matte) background will cure this problem. Other possible solutions are to angle either the sensor or the background (in any plane) so that the back ground does not reflect light back to the sensor (see Figure 6). Position the background as far beyond the cutoff distance as possible. n object beyond the cutoff distance, either stationary (when po si tioned as shown in Figure 7) or if it moves past the face of the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sensing axis, can cause unwanted triggering of the sensor if it reflects more light to the near detector than to the far detector. The problem is easily rem e died by rotating the sensor 90 (Figure 8). 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. ensing utoff ensing utoff R ore of mitted Beam = mitter R = ear Detector = Far Detector trong Direct Reflection to R Reflective R ore of mitted Beam trong Direct Reflection way From ensor = mitter R = ear Detector = Far Detector Reflective Figure 5.

WORLD-BM Q8 djustable- ensors olor ensitivity The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be im por tant for some ap pli ca tions. The excess gain curves on page were generated using a white test card of 90% reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less than 90% reflect less light back to the sensor, and thus require pro por tion ate ly more excess gain in order to be sensed with the same reliability as more reflective objects. When sens ing an object of very low reflectivity, it may be especially im portant to sense it at or near the distance of maximum excess gain. 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 Figures 9, 0, and ). This behavior is known as color sensitivity. n the graphs below, the percentage of deviation indicates a change in the cutoff point for either 8% gray or 6% black targets, relative to the cutoff point set for a 90% reflectance white test card. For example, in Figure 9, the cutoff point decreases 0% for a 6% reflectance black target when the cutoff point is adjusted for 00 mm () using a 90% reflectance white test card. n other words, the cutoff point for the black target is 90 mm (3.6") for this setting. 0 0 - - Percent Deviation - -6 Percent Deviation -8 - -8 8% Gray ard 6% Black ard -6 8% Gray ard 6% Black ard -0 0 35 50 75 00 utoff etting in mm (90% White ard) -0 30 60 90 0 50 utoff etting in mm (90% White ard) Figure 9.
