Step 3 - Mount and Adjust the Product Detector
Goal:
Determine which mounting location is ideal, either on the baseplate or on the conveyor
system.
Goal:
Adjust the sensor to detect just the product, and ignore background objects, such as forklift
trucks, personnel, or other objects that may pass in front of the sensor’s view.
•••• Sub-Step (a) ••••
Determine if a product detector mounting location on the baseplate
will work for this application. Typically, the location on the
baseplate is ideal for mounting ease and mobility. This location
works best if the products are approaching from the side of the
sensor, in relation to the tamp pad. If this location cannot apply the
label in the desired position due to timing, mount the sensor in an
alternate location using the supplied mounting bracket.
•••• Sub-Step (b) ••••
Adjust the sensor’s sensitivity to detect just the product, and ignore
the background. This can be done by placing the actual product in
the path of the sensor’s view. Adjust the sensitivity setscrew (A)
until the yellow light (B) illuminates, and the green light (C) is
steady and bright. The yellow light shows that the output is active.
The green light shows the relative signal strength in the presence
of the product. When the sensor is not detecting a product, the
green light is on to show that the sensor is powered on. This can be
useful for troubleshooting and calibration. Remove the product and
verify that the yellow light is off. If not, adjust the setscrew counter-
clockwise to reduce sensitivity. Once the background is eliminated
from triggering the sensor, place the product under the sensor
again to verify output.
