WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death. This device does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-
energized sensor output condition.

Fixed-Field Mode Overview
T30 Series self-contained fixed-field sensors are small, powerful, infrared diffuse mode sensors with far-limit cutoff (a type of background
suppression). Their high excess gain and fixed-field technology allow detection of objects of low reflectivity, while ignoring background
surfaces. The cutoff distance is fixed. Backgrounds and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance.
Fixed-Field Sensing – Theory of Operation
The T30FF compares the reflections of its emitted light beam (E) from an object back to the sensor’s two differently aimed detectors, R1
and R2. See
Figure 1. Fixed-Field Concept on page 2. If the near detector's (R1) light signal is stronger than the far detector's (R2)
light signal (see object A in the Figure below, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the object. If the far detector's (R2)
light signal is stronger than the near detector's (R1) light signal (see object B in the Figure below, beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor
ignores the object.
1 Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. For 9 m (30 ft) cable: add suffix “W/30” (for example, T303E W/30). For 4-pin Micro-style integral QD: add suffix “Q1” (for example,
T303EQ1). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see
Cordsets on page 7.
