forgiving for reflectively sensing transparent or translucent materials or for
sensing objects with irregular surfaces (e.g.- webs with "flutter"). The optics are
such that even small threads or wires .005" (0,1mm) or greater in diameter may be
detected when they pass within .25" (6mm) of the sensor's plastic lens. Due to its
wide response pattern, the LP400WB should not be used for precise positioning
control, nor should it be mounted with its lens recessed into a hole.
"WB" in this model number designates "wide beam". The LP400WB is an
infrared divergent mode (wide angle diffuse mode) sensor which is particularly

Beam Pattern
Model SP300L is a remote retroreflective sensor with the same rugged design
as the SP300EL/RL, described above. Its useable range is from 6 inches to 15
feet (0,2 to 4,5m) using the model BRT-3 retroreflector.
Emitter-receiver pair SP300EL/RL are extremely rugged and are totally encap-
sulated in anodized aluminum housings. The threaded hub at the cable exit
allows for the use of flexible armored cable or protective PVC tubing with the
addition of compression gland model CF7-16 (page 24). This pair uses
14
collimating lenses to increase range. These sensors should also be used at short
ranges for their high excess gain or to avoid optical "crosstalk" in situations which
require several pairs to be mounted adjacent to one another.
If the object that is to break the beam has a shiny surface, then the SP300L and its
retroreflector should be mounted so that the beam is at an angle of 10 degrees or
more to that surface in order to eliminate false signals which are caused by proxing.
