Background suppression mode can be used in most situations with varying object colors and positions or with varying background conditions. To ensure reliable background suppression, a minimum separation distance between the object and the background is necessary. See Figure 7 on page 5 to determine the minimum separation distance. 2 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1-763-544-3164 P/N 146923 Rev. G WORLD-BEAM® QS18AF Mechanically Adjustable Background Suppression Sensor (30-300mm) 1. Mount the sensor with the darkest object at the longest application distance. The distance to the object must be less than shown in Figure 7 on page 5 for your object color. 2. Turn the adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise until the yellow indicator turns off (5 turns maximum). 3. Turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise until the yellow indicator turns on. 4. Replace the darkest object with the brightest background at the closest application distance. 5. Turn the adjustment potentiometer clockwise, counting the revolutions, until the yellow indicator turns on. 6. Turn the adjustment potentiometer counter-clockwise half of the number of turns from step 5. This places the cutoff distance midway between the object and the background switchpoints (see Figure 3 on page 3). Object Background Y X Cutoff Distance X: Distance to the Object Y: Minimum Separation Between the Object and the Background The sensor is ready for operation. Figure 3. Set the cutoff distance approximately midway between the farthest object and the closest background Setup Example An object with a reflectivity similar to black paper is set 150 mm away from the sensor. A background with a reflectivity similar to white paper is set 200 mm away from the sensor. According to Figure 7 on page 5 , the minimum separation distance between the object and the background is 12 mm. In this application, reliable detection is achieved when set up according to the procedure outlined in Sensor Setup - Background Suppression on page 2. 1. Object 2. Conveyor 3.
