4.1 Connection Diagrams
The XZ Light sensor can be connected to any X-talk interface and is therefore compatible with all Xperience controllers.
Make sure the sensor is connected to the X-talk interface before powering the Xperience controller. Otherwise, it will not be
recognized by the Xperience controller and no sensor output will be provided.

PRODUCT MANUAL | XZ LIGHT SENSOR
Installation behind top panel
The XZ Light sensor is typically installed behind a top
panel with a cut-out. We recommend to make a circular
cut-out of
5mm diameter
in the top panel behind which
the sensor can be placed using the double sided tape on
the bottom (flat) side of the sensor.
A common thickness for the top panel is 3-5mm. The
thicker the top panel, the less light will be able to reach the
sensor, especially when the top panel is made out of dark
(light-absorbing) material. In these cases, we recommend
to either make sure there is a light source directly
perpendicular above the sensor, or increase the diameter
of the cut-out.
Translucent or lit top panel
Particularly in retail environments, it is a common practice
to create lit top panels by using translucent materials and
adding LED strips. In these cases the light sensor might
not be able to detect a pick-up or place-back as light will
also reach the sensor via the lit/translucent top panel when
an object is placed back.
In these cases we recommend to add a small non-trans-
lucent shaft in the cut-out, to block light coming from the
lit top panel
