F ® MULTI-BEAM LS10 Light Screen System LS10 System Overview LS10 Light Screen Systems consist of two self-contained units: an emitter and a receiver. Multiple infrared LEDs in the emitter are aligned in a row and strobed (turned ON one at a time) in a specific sequence and at a high frequency. Receivers contain a matching array of phototransistors. The length (height) of the array is 90 mm (3.5"), and produces a curtain of light as wide as the distance between the emitter and receiver. The receiver may be placed 4" to 48" opposed from the emitter (LS10E/LS10R) or 4" to 8" away (LS10ESR/LS10RSR). The LS10E/LS10R system can detect objects as small as 7.6 mm (0.30") in diameter; minimum detectable object profile for the LS10ESR/LS10RSR system is 5.6 mm (0.22"). NOTE: Sensing should not take place within 1/2" of any LS10 system sensor face. The light from the emitter is modulated to minimize sensitivity to ambient light. An indicator LED on the emitter lights whenever power is applied. The receiver has an Alignment LED which lights whenever the beam is broken. The receiver output interfaces directly with dc loads or circuits up to 30V dc, and offers both sinking (NPN) and sourcing (PNP) output transistors. The sinking (NPN) output may be connected directly to any Banner MAXI-AMP or MICRO-AMP logic module for additional system control. Outputs are energized continuously while the beam is broken. A 5 millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF delay) is included to improve interfacing reliability. 40.1 mm (1.58") 49.0 mm (1.93") Receiver: Alignment LED 116.0 mm (4.55") Emitter: Power ON LED 89.0 mm (3.5") 60.0 mm (2.36") Max.

The 2-part, 3-axis mounting brackets on page 5 are highly recommended. Mounting locations should be as free from vibration as possible. If vibration is unavoidable, mount the emitter and receiver to vibrate together; no highamplitude differential vibration is allowed. Mount the emitter and receiver at their operating locations with their front panels exactly parallel and opposite each other. (The row of transmitter LEDs should be exactly parallel with and opposite to the row of receiver phototransistors.) This constitutes optimal mechanical alignment. Optimal mechanical alignment does not always result in perfect optical alignment, and perfect optical alignment is absolutely necessary. When optical alignment is satisfactory, and emitter/receiver vibration is at moderate or lower levels, the receiver Alignment status indicator (see Figure 1) will be OFF and remain OFF whenever the light screen is unobstructed. Adjusting Optical Alignment Beginning with perfect mechanical alignment, adjust optical alignment as described in steps #1 through #5. The procedure assumes use of the SMBLS mounting bracket shown in Figure 2. Only the position of the emitter will be adjusted. Rotation Carriage Bracket Sliding 1) Loosen the two bolts holding the two parts of the bracket together just enough to allow the upper (“carriage”) bracket, along with the emitter, to be rotated. Also, slightly loosen the mounting bolts in the curved slots of the “base” bracket, which will allow the bracket to be tipped from side to side. 2) With power applied to both the emitter and receiver, “tip” the entire bracket (including the emitter) slightly from side to side. Find the extremes of movement between which the receiver’s red Alignment LED remains OFF. Secure the base bracket at the point midway between the extremes. Tipping Base Bracket Figure 2. Achieving perfect optical alignment with the LS10; bracket SMBLS shown. 3) Rotate the carriage bracket (to which the emitter is attached) slightly in both directions, as shown in Figure 2. Find the extremes of rotation between which the receiver’s red Alignment indicator LED remains OFF. Secure the emitter midway between the extremes by tightening the two bolts that lock the two parts of the bracket together. 4) Loosen the two mounting bolts that hold the emitter to the carriage bracket. Slide the emitter up and down vertically in the bracket, noting the extremes between which the receiver’s Alignment LED indicator remains OFF. Tighten the bolts to secure the emitter midway between the extremes. (NOTE: If the initial mechanical alignment was inadequate, it may be necessary to repeatedly alternate tipping, rotating, and sliding movements to attain perfect optical alignment.) 5) Check for proper alignment by moving a pencil (or a similar object) along the 3.5" dimension of the sensing window. The receiver Alignment indicator LED and outputs should come ON while the pencil is anywhere within the sensing window. When this is true, tighten all mounting hardware securely in position.
