A WORLD-BEAM® QS30ELVC Series Overview Amber Output LED Green Power ON LED Configuration Push Buttons The QS30ELVC is an easy-to-use, high-performance retroreflective sensor optimized for detection of clear, translucent, or opaque objects. The optical design of the sensor ensures reliable detection of PET bottles, glass containers, and optically engineered surfaces such as mirrors, LCD glass with polarizing films, or semi-conductor wafers. The sensor will not be tricked by specular reflections from the object under normal operating conditions. Switching Threshold Bargraph Display (Red) The compact housing has a large, easy-to-see bargraph display for easy configuration and status monitoring during operation. The sensor housing can be side-mounted, using integral mounting holes, or front-mounted, via the 30 mm threaded barrel. A wide assortment of mounting brackets are also available for applications requiring adjustability or robust mechanical protection. The QS30ELVC is configured for operation using the Light SET procedure described on page 4. The sensor is simply aligned to the included retroreflective target and the Light SET is initiated either via the push button or the remote wire input. A reliable detection is assured when the appropriate threshold for clear, translucent or dark object is selected. Configuration Display (Amber) Figure 1. Features Continued reliable operation is maintained as the thresholds adapt to changing signal levels over time using Banner Engineering’s auto compensation tracking algorithm. The sensor tracks the amount of light returned at every opportunity and makes fine adjustments to the switching threshold as required due to dust or contamination in the environment building up on the lens window or reflector. If the retroreflector is cleaned, returning the light to its original level, the sensor quickly adapts and continues operating with no need to perform another Light SET procedure. The sensor can recover from a cold power-up by re-using the stored threshold values from the last Light SET procedure. You only need to perform the Light SET procedure if the sensor is moved or the sensor to reflector separation distance is changed. The sensor ships from the factory as a DARK OPERATE (DO), non-polarized retroreflective sensor with auto compensation enabled for easy set-up and reliable operation. The automatic compensation tracking algorithm can be disabled if required through the user SETUP buttons or the remote teach wire. Indicators The sensor’s compact housing has a large, easy-to-see bargraph display plus bright LEDs for easy configuration and status monitoring during operation. Sensor power and output state are indicated by the green and amber LEDs located at the top of the sensor. Sensor configuration is indicated by the 5-segment amber display. Signal strength relative to the switchpoint is indicated by the 3-segment red Signal bargraph (see Figure 2). Clear Medium Dark Received light level is greater than switching threshold Received light level is greater than switching threshold Received light level is greater than switching threshold 8-16% of light SET level is being blocked 16-32% of light SET level is being blocked 32-64% of light SET level is being blocked > 16% of light SET level is being blocked > 32% of light SET level is being blocked > 64% of light SET level is being blocked Figure 2.

Mount the retroreflector. 2. Align the sensor to the retroreflector. 3. Perform Light SET (page 4) with no object present. 4. Using Switchpoint Adjustment (page 6), select the darkest switchpoint which reliably detects the object. Medium level (16% below the signal from the retroreflector) will work for most applications. Dark level will provide more robust detection under difficult environmental conditions (e.g. dust, vibration, etc). Clear Bottle or Object Counting 1. Mount the retroreflector. 2. Align the sensor to the retroreflector. 3. Disable the auto compensation function. Allow for 10 minute sensor warm-up period. 4. Position the bottles or objects so the beam is passing through the gap between the bottles. 5. Perform Light SET (page 4) on the gap condition. 6. Using Switchpoint Adjustment (page 6), select the darkest switchpoint which reliably detects the object. Medium level (16% below the signal from the retroreflector) will work for most applications. Dark level may provide more robust detection under difficult environmental conditions (e.g. dust, vibration, etc). Reflective Object Detection 1. Mount the retroreflector. 2. Align the sensor to the retroreflector. 3. Perform Light SET (page 4) with no object present. 4. Using Switchpoint Adjustment (page 6), select clear or medium switchpoint percentage (8% or 16% below the signal from the retroreflector). This will reduce the chance of specular reflection affecting the sensor.  Banner Engineering Corp. • Minneapolis, MN U.S.A www.bannerengineering.com • Tel: 763.544.3164     P/N 139760 rev.

A   5 WORLD-BEAM® QS30ELVC Series Switchpoint Selection The switchpoint can be selected during RUN mode and is accomplished via the push buttons or the remote wire (see Remote Line TEACH, page 7). Switchpoint selection via push buttons: • Press “+” and “-” to select desired switchpoint • Three possible choices; 8, 16 or 32 percent below the signal from the retroreflector. Selection does not wrap around. The sensor continues operating normally with the newly selected threshold value. It is not necessary to repeat the light SET. T T Push Button Disable T T T T T T may T Tbe used to disable In addition to its configuration function, Remote Configuration the push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents undesired tampering with the configuration settings. The Green Power LED blinks 4 times if a push button is pressed while they are locked out. The sensor continues operating normally and ignores the button press. Connect the gray wire of the sensor as described on page 2, and fourpulse to either enable or disable the push buttons:  T T T T T T T 0.04 < T < 0.8 s Alarm State T T T T The QS30ELVC Alarm State indicates that the sensor requires attention. In all situations,T the alarm byTrealigning the sensor to T canTbe cleared T the retroreflector, cleaning the sensor or retroreflector of contamination, and performing a Light SET to establish a valid light signal. Alarm State is indicated by: • Amber Output LED flashing T T • All 3 Red Signal LEDs OFF • Output forced to blocked state (i.e. if sensor is in dark operate (DO), the output is conducting) The sensor may enter Alarm State for three reasons: 1. The sensor may be in Alarm State when first powered up. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem with the sensor. The Alarm State will be cleared when a valid Light SET is performed. 2. The sensor will enter Alarm State if the Light SET procedure fails. This indicates the sensor did not receive enough light from the retroreflector for reliable detection. Realign the sensor to the retroreflector, making sure all optical surfaces are free of contamination. If the automatic compensation algorithm is enabled, the sensor may recover at this point and begin operating normally. It is not necessary to repeat the Light SET procedure. If automatic compensation has been disabled, the sensor will remain in the Alarm State until the alignment has been corrected and a Light SET is successfully completed. 3. The sensor can enter Alarm State if the auto compensation algorithm is enabled and the sensor has automatically adjusted the threshold as much as possible. The sensor and retroreflector should be cleaned, or the sensor should be realigned to the retroreflector. The sensor will automatically adapt to the new light level, or a Light SET can be performed to reestablish the light level. In any case, the sensor can be returned to normal operation by ensuring a clean optical path, aligning the sensor to the retroreflector, and performing a Light SET procedure on the sensor. 6    P/N 139760 rev.
