OMNI-BEAM Sensor Heads
The Sense LED indicates when a target has been sensed. When the sensor head is
programmed for Light Operate, it lights when the received light signal exceeds the #5
threshold. When programmed for Dark Operate, it lights when the received light
signal falls below the #5 threshold. See figure 7.
The Load indicator LED lights whenever the output is energized (after the timing
function, if applicable).
OMNI-BEAM’s D.A.T.A. indicator display may be used to measure the excess gain and
contrast during sensing, installation, or maintenance.
Excess gain is a measurement of the amount of light energy falling on a photoelectric
sensor’s receiver, over and above the minimum amount needed to operate the
sensor’s amplifier. Excess gain is expressed as a ratio:
The amplifier threshold is the point at which the sensor’s output switches
(corresponding to the #5 level of the D.A.T.A. display). When LEDs #1 through #5 are
ON, the excess gain of the received light signal is equal to “1x.” The chart below
shows how excess gain relates to the D.A.T.A. light array indication.
