LP400WB
"WB" in this model number designates "wide beam". The
LP400WB
is an
infrared divergent mode (wide angle diffuse mode) sensor which is particularly
forgiving for reflectively sensing transparent or translucent materials or for
sensing objects with irregular surfaces (e.g.- webs with "flutter"). The optics are
such that even small threads or wires .005" (0,1mm) or greater in diameter may be
detected when they pass within .25" (6mm) of the sensor's plastic lens. Due to its
wide response pattern, the LP400WB should not be used for precise positioning
control, nor should it be mounted with its lens recessed into a hole.

Model
SP300L
is a remote retroreflective sensor with the same rugged design
as the SP300EL/RL, described above. Its useable range is from 6 inches to 15
feet (0,2 to 4,5m) using the model BRT-3 retroreflector.
If the object that is to break the beam has a shiny surface, then the SP300L and
its retroreflector should be mounted so that the beam is at an angle of 10 degrees
or more to that surface in order to eliminate false signals which are caused by
proxing.
Emitter-receiver pair
SP300EL/RL
are extremely rugged and are totally
encapsulated in anodized aluminum housings. The threaded hub at the cable
exit allows for the use of flexible armored cable or protective PVC tubing with
the addition of compression gland model CF7-16. This pair uses collimating
lenses to increase range. These sensors should also be used at short ranges for
their high excess gain or to avoid optical "crosstalk" in situations which require
several pairs to be mounted adjacent to one another.
