Functions and features
The colour sensor detects coloured objects and materials without contact via fibre
optics in diffuse-reflection or through-beam mode.
Mounting
Mount the fibre optic in a way that the object to be detected makes as little lateral
and vertical movement as possible. Consider the specified range.
Tighten the coupling nuts manually (the coupling nuts are supplied with the fibre
optics).
Diffuse-reflection mode
In the case of shiny object surfaces the sensing head should be mounted at an angle
of inclination of 10...30° referred to the object.
Through-beam mode
Mount the fibre optics opposite each other and align them.
Electrical connection
Disconnect power and connect the sensor as indicated on the type label.
The input AT (activation trigger = synchronising signal) can be used for triggering the
sensor via an external voltage signal.

The input ET (External Teach) can be used for programming the reference colour for
the output out1 via an external voltage signal.
