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.

Overview

R58B Registration Mark Sensor offer maintenance-free, solid-state reliability for typical color contrasts found in product and material registration

applications. Fast 50-microsecond sensing response produces excellent registration repeatability, even in ultra-high-speed applications. This fast

response, coupled with the small 1.2 × 3.8 mm (0.05 in × 0.15 in) sensing image, allows the detection of small and inconspicuous registration marks.

R58B sensors feature TEACH mode sensitivity adjustment by presenting two sensing conditions to the sensor. TEACH mode has two options: Static TEACH

and Dynamic TEACH. Static TEACH is used to position the two sensing conditions individually. Dynamic TEACH provides a means for teaching a series of

conditions on-the-fly; the R58B samples the sensing events and automatically sets the switchpoint between the lightest and darkest conditions. The

sensor then determines which sensing condition is present for the shortest time and assigns the Output ON condition to that event (therefore, LO/DO

selection is automatic). If necessary, the LO/DO setting can be reversed in Setup mode.

The sensor uses a tri-color LED during either teach process and automatically selects a red, green, or blue sensing beam, based on the contrast between

the registration mark and its background. For applications where the user wishes to select the sensing beam color, individual colors may be enabled/

disabled in Setup mode.

1 Only Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed.

•

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the model number (e.g., R58BPCRGB1 W/30).

•

To order the 150 mm (6 in) pigtail with a 5-pin M12/Euro-style connector, add suffix "Q" to the model number (e.g., R58BPCRGB1Q).

•

To order the integral 5-pin M12/Euro-style QD, add suffix "Q8" to the model number (e.g., R58BPCRGB1Q8).
