Models SP100C and CCF are ideally suited to applications where depth of field
is critical. The emitter and receiver are both directed at a point 0.1 inch (2,5mm)
ahead of the front surface. An aperture is included which, when attached,
narrows the depth of field (see curves, below). This is particularly useful when
it is necessary to detect an object while ignoring another object or a surface just
a fraction of an inch farther away. The high excess gain at the focus allows
detection of objects of low reflectivity. The SP100C and CCF differ only in
housing style. Model SP100C is for general application. Model SP100CCF is
used where a narrow profile is important for mounting.

Excess Gain
Beam Pattern
SP100E and SP100R miniature opposed sensors have a slim right-angle design
which allows them to be mounted in very tight locations. The thin, flexible
ribbon cable which exits from one corner may be run in any direction away from
the sensing point. The SP100E and R have a wide beam angle for forgiving line-
of-sight alignment. Alignment is easily made exact (and monitored) using the
AID™ LED on the MICRO-AMP module.

SP100E/R
Models SP100D and SP100DB are general-purpose miniature diffuse sensors
which detect the reflection of their own light from the surface of an object. The
SP100D is a right-angle design which is generally held in place using a #4 (3mm)
screw. The SP100DB ("B" = Barrel) is an in-line threaded barrel which typically
mounts through a 3/8" (10mm) diameter hole using the lock nuts which are
supplied. The optical response characteristics of these two sensors are identical.
