Object Height
shows an example of a maximum object size selection of two for
both finger and hand resolution. For finger resolution, the beam width is 3.91
mm (0.15 in.), and the worst-case tolerance for beam spacing is 9.38 mm (0.37
in.). An object that has a height of 14.85 mm (0.58 in.) never blocks more than
two beams. If the third beam is blocked, the OSSD outputs turn OFF.
Therefore, the maximum height remains less than the formulas in
to
avoid nuisance tripping.

Lens Value, Max Rules
Finger (14 mm
[0.55 in.])
1…31
Include
1
5…n-1
Since lens 1 is blanked, the last lens cannot be blanked.
Max Object Size <= Max Lens – Min Lens - 3
Examples:
Max Object Size = 1 and Min = 1, then Max = 5…n-1
Max Object Size = 4 and Min = 1, then Max = 8…n-1
Exclude
3
n
Since lens 1 is not blanked, lens 2 cannot be blanked.
Max Object Size <= Max Lens – Min Lens - 3
Examples:
Max Object Size = 1 and Min = 3, then Max = 7…n
Max Object Size = 4 and Min = 5, then Max = 12…n
Hand (30 mm
[1.18 in.])
2,4,6…n-12
Include

11,13,15...n-3
Since lens 1 is blanked, the last lens cannot be blanked.
Max Object Size <= Max Lens – Min Lens - 8
Examples:
Max Object Size = 2 and Min = 1, then Max = 11…n-3
Max Object Size = 4 and Min = 1, then Max = 13…n
Exclude
4
13,15,17...n-1
Since lens 1 is not blanked, lens 3 cannot be blanked.
Max Object Size <= Max Lens – Min Lens - 7
Examples:
Max Object Size = 2 and Min = 4, then Max = 13…n-1
Max Object Size = 4 and Min = 6, then Max = 17…n-1
Table 70 - Formulas for Max Object Height
Resolution
Formula
Finger (14 mm [0.55 in.])
Max object height is < Max Object Size Selection x 9.38 - 3.91
Example with Max Object Size = 2
< 2 x 9.38 - 3.91
< 14.85 mm (0.58 in.)
Hand (30 mm [1.18 in.])
Max object height is < Max Object Size Selection x 18.76 - 5.70
Example with Max Object Size = 2
< 2 x 18.76 - 5.70
