Funktionsparameter
The function-parameters are affecting the behavior of the
light barrier and are stored permanently. Every release-
mode type (light barrier type) has its own set of parame-
ters.
Sampling rate – parameter 1
The light barrier system works with pulsed light. The
sampling rate affects the time interval between the light
impulses. It is also the time an object must interrupt the
light barrer at least in order to release the camera.
The sampling rate ist adjustable between 1 and 9999 ms.
The highest pulse rate will be achieved in the adjustment
0, but 0 is only available for the single light barrier (one
head).
To fade out fast objects please adjust a greater sampling
rate.
Sensitivity, parameter 2
After the auto-learning process the light barrier responds
to the reflecting light. The sensitivity affects the amount of
the required changing that results in a release.
The value is adjustable between 1 and 9.
A small value means a higher sensitivity. For example to
detect objects with a size down to 0,5 mm. However in
this case a stable construction is needed. Vibrancies of
the head or the reflector will result in unwanted releases.
A greater value means a lower sensitivity in order to su-
press smaller objects (for example small insects should
not be able to release the camera).
The size (range) of objects which are possible to fade out
is between 0,5 mm and 6mm. An object size greater than
6 mm will always cause a camera release.
Sensitivity should be adjusted as low as possible (6..9).
To detect greater insects or birds it is recommended to
adjust a sensitivity between 6 .. 9.
Delay of the release, parameter 3
Release-delay is the time between the interrupt of the
light barrier and the release of the camera-system.
Possible values are between 0 ms (no delay) and 9999
ms.
Number of releases, parameter 4
The amount of releases means the number of camera-re-
leases caused by only one interrupt of the light barrier.
Adjustable between 1 and 99.
Time interval between releases, parameter 5
Time between multiple releases (parameter 4 must be
greater than 1).
