Cleaning the Trigger Photoeye
If your application uses the photoeye option as a hardware trigger, be sure to
clean the photoeye periodically as outlined below.
1. Turn off the product transport.
2. Turn off the reader’s lasers.
(See Laser Shutoff.)
3. Clean the photoeye’s lens using the denatured alcohol solution and a
cotton swab or lens paper.
4. Check the reflector on the opposite side of the transport.
Clean as necessary.
5. Verify photoeye operation.
Verify Trigger Photoeye Operation
1. Block the photoeye to confirm it is aligned properly with the reflector.
2. If the LED on the photoeye changes status, the photoeye is functioning
properly.
3. Verify that the Trigger LED on reader is green when photoeye is blocked.
4. If the photoeye’s LED does not change status, adjust the photoeye so
that it is properly aligned with the reflector.
5. If the Trigger LED on the reader is not green when the photoeye is
blocked, check the cabling between the photoeye and reader wiring base
for damage.
NOTE:
The Height Tracking Photoeyes should also be maintained using
these procedures.
