Installing the Color Sensor
NOTE: When sensing glossy surfaces, install the sensor at approximately a 15° angle
with respect to the target. See Figure 5.
1. Determine the best position for the swivel connector (back, side, or bottom of the
sensor).
2. Measure the appropriate operating distance from the front surface of the sensor
optics to the point where the sensor is to be fastened. Typically, the ideal distance
is 20 mm (0.8").
3. Fasten the sensor to its intended location using two screws (M4x35 or longer). Any
two of three holes in the housing may be used for this purpose.
4. Attach the power cable to the sensor’s connector; see hookups on page 7.
NOTE: When the sensor is ON, the white emitter beam is ON and a message
(“run” or “rund”) appears on the 4-digit status display.
Sensing Beam
Pulsed white LED (400 to 700 nm)
Sensing Receiver
Solid-state photodiode device with R, G, B filters
