Description
The MCS-500 is a series of completely self-con-
tained photoelectric controls with LED light
source, receiver, amplifier and output device in
one unit. This series of Photoscanners has a per-
manently wired base with a line of plug-in elec-
tronics that can be easily interchanged.
The MCS-500’s light source is solid state and has
nearly unlimited life. The LED (Light Emitting
Diode) is modulated at a high frequency to oper-
ate effectively over long distances. The light
receiver circuitry is strobed in synchronism with
the LED, resulting in the device being virtually
immune to all light other than its own. The light
source operates in the infrared spectrum and is
invisible. For initial setup purposes, a bright, high-
ly visible LED indicator is located under the clear
dome. When the beam from the source is reflect-
ed back to the sensor, the indicator illuminates.
