Response delay

The response delay is equivalent to the time elapsed between the triggering of the measure-
ment (internal signal) and the change in the measured value at the output.
The duration of the response delay depends on the exposure time. The sensor automatically
adjusts its exposure time to the object to be measured in order to always receive an optimum
light quantity and thus achieve a sufficient exposure reserve. The exposure time depends on
the properties of the measured surface (color/structure, etc.) and the alignment of the sensor to
the object to be measured. Dark objects to be measured reflect less light and thus need longer
exposure times than light-colored objects; the response delay increases.

Exposure reserve

The exposure reserve indicates the light quantity reflected by the measurement object (as a rel-
ative factor without unit). The exposure reserve helps you with the following problems, among
others:
Check whether a valid measurement result is present (signal quality). The signal quality is
n
weak
▪ when the sensor is not optimally aligned, and
▪ when the distance between the sensor and measurement object is too large.
During ongoing operation: Check the front panel of the sensor for contamination – if the ex-
n
posure reserve decreases over time, it may be an indication of increased contamination of
the front panel. Use the histogram function for this purpose
