Apertures
Opposed-mode QS30 sensors may be fitted with apertures to narrow or shape the
sensor’s effective beam to more closely match the size or profile of the objects being
sensed. A common example is the use of “line” (or “slot”) type apertures to sense
thread.
NOTE: The use of apertures will reduce the sensing range (see table below).

Maximum Range
Aperture on Both
Emitter and Receiver
Aperture on Receiver Only
APQS30-040 0.5 m (1.5') 4.1 m (13.5')
APQS30-100 2.4 m (8') 14.3 m (47')
APQS30-200 11.6 m (38') 23.5 m (77')
APQS30-040H 7 m (23') 16.8 m (23')
APQS30-100H 16.5 m (54') 24.7 m (54')
APQS30-200H 28.7 m (94') 36.6 m (94')
APQS30-040V 7 m (23') 16.8 m (23')
APQS30-100V 16.5 m (54') 24.7 m (54')
APQS30-200V 28.7 m (94') 36.6 m (94')
Example: The QS30E/QS30R sensor pair is used with apertures APQS30-040. Using
the circular aperture on only the receiver, the range reduces to 4.1 m. When the
APQS30-040 aperture is installed on both the receiver and emitter, the sensor range
reduces to 0.5 m.
