Color Sensitivity
The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though
small, may be important for some applications.
The excess gain curves on page 1 were generated using a white
test card of 90% reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less
than 90% reflect less light back to the sensor, and thus require
proportionately more excess gain in order to be sensed with the
same reliability as more reflective objects. When sensing an
object of very low reflectivity, it may be especially important to
sense it at or near the distance of maximum excess gain.
It is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff
distance for lower reflectance targets will be slightly shorter
than for higher reflectance targets (see Figure 10). This
behavior is known as color sensitivity.
The percentage of deviation indicates a change in the cutoff
point for either 18% gray or 6% black targets, relative to the
cutoff point set for a 90% reflective white test card.
For example, the cutoff point decreases 4% for a 6%
reflectance black target when the cutoff point is adjusted for
1000 mm (40") using a 90% reflectance white test card. In
other words, the cutoff point for the black target is 960 mm
(38") for this setting.
Setting the Output Delay
The output of the Q60AFV sensor may be delayed between
0.008 and 16 seconds, in any of 72 increments. Delay is
indicated on the 5-segment light bar using single LED
segments or combinations of them, in varying stages of
intensity. Major increments, displayed by a single full-intensity
LED, are shown in Figure 13.
