Reset Procedure

Figure 4. For best repeatability, align the labels' flat sides between

the sensor's web alignment guides

Resets are performed at startup, when changing label

types, or in response to an internal error indication.

To reset, turn the SLC1's power ON or cycle the power OFF

for 1 second or longer and then ON again.

The SLC1 may also be reset using the sensor’s gray wire.

To do so, toggle the gray wire to the opposite polarity for

>100 ms. Again, the sensor automatically adjusts to the

current sensing conditions after the passing of four labels or

250 ms, whichever is greater.

LED Behavior

The SLC1 Series sensor has one green LED and one amber LED:

Description

Solid

Power to sensor is ON

Flashing at 4 Hz

Output is overloaded

Solid

NPN and PNP outputs are ON

Flashing alternatively at 1 Hz

Internal error; reset sensor. Internal errors are caused by several factors:

•

Moisture in the sensing slot

•

Extreme and prolonged web flutter

•

Label jams (labels touching both the top and the bottom sensor

forks)

If an internal error occurs, correct its cause and perform a reset (cycle the

sensor power OFF for at least 1 second and ON again or toggle the gray

wire to the opposite polarity for >100 milliseconds).

Maintenance

The SLC1 Series sensor may be disassembled for periodic cleaning, as needed. Use a 7/64" hex key to remove the four

screws at the bottom and remove the bottom fork for cleaning. Clean the fork surfaces with a mild solvent, such as

isopropyl alcohol, taking care to avoid the clear indicator light window.
