The unit’s 1-point/2-point calibration, switchable differentiation modes (C mode, C+I mode, I mode), and numerical tolerance adjustment ensure flexibility for a range of applications, from packaging and labeling to printed material inspection. With a response time as fast as 300 µs, the sensor is ideal for high-speed production lines. The LCD indicator provides real-time feedback on received light intensity and match rate, while its robust polycarbonate housing ensures long life in demanding environments. Key Features: Tri-Color Light Source: Red, Green, and Blue LEDs enable precise color recognition and differentiation. Fast Response: Switchable response times — 300 µs or 1 ms for high-speed or stable detection. Adjustable Calibration: 1-point/2-point calibration for simple setup and reliable operation. PNP Output: Open-collector transistor output up to 40 VDC, 100 mA max. High Stability: Digital display with numeric tolerance adjustment minimizes false detections. External Inputs: Synchronization and calibration input terminals for process integration. Multiple Detection Modes: C, C+I, and I modes selectable for color, intensity, or combined detection. Environmental Resistance: Withstands industrial lighting and vibration, rated for IP40-equivalent conditions. 8-Bank Color Memory: Stores up to 8 registered colors for quick selection via external input. Compact Design: Lightweight and easily mountable amplifier for tight control panels.
