The colour sensor detects coloured objects and materials without contact via fibre optics in diffuse-reflection or through-beam mode.
Mounting

natural_image
Mechanical assembly diagram showing a shaft and nut assembly with rotational arrows indicating motion (no text or labels)Mount the fibre optic in a way that the object to be detected makes as little lateral and vertical movement as possible. Consider the specified range.
Tighten the coupling nuts manually (the coupling nuts are supplied with the fibre optics).
Diffuse-reflection mode
In the case of shiny object surfaces the sensing head should be mounted at an angle of inclination of 10...30° referred to the object.
Through-beam mode
Mount the fibre optics opposite each other and align them.
Electrical connection

Disconnect power and connect the sensor as indicated on the type label.
The input AT (activation trigger = synchronising signal) can be used for triggering the sensor via an external voltage signal.
Sensor deactivated: 12 V < AT < U Vmax
Sensor activated: AT ≤2 V or unused
Response time: < 0.2 ms
The input ET (External Teach) can be used for programming the reference colour for the output out1 via an external voltage signal.
Activate teach-in: 12 V < ET < U Vmax
RUN mode: ET ≤2 V or unused
Pulse duration: 0.05ms

| 1 | ![]() | Set the rotary switch colour tolerance (Tolerance) to the requested colour resolution.1 = small tolerance range for detecting small colour shades3 = basic setting5 = large tolerance range for detecting colour families or colour groups |
| 2 | ![]() | Set the programming selector switch to Out1. |
| 3 | ![]() | Press the Teach button.A red light spot shows on the object.Release the Teach button, the light spot disappears. |
| 4 | ![]() | After a successful teach-in operation the function display (Out/OK) comes on. If it flashes, the intensity is too high.Diffuse-reflection modeIncline the sensing head by 10...30° and repeat the teach-in operation.Through-beam modeIncrease the distance sensing head/object or sensing head/sensing head.If the function display is not lit, the intensity is too low.Diffuse-reflection modeSelect a lighter mark.Through-beam modeReduce the distance sensing head/object or sensing head/sensing head. |
| 5 | ![]() | Set the programming selector switch to Run or Run Delay (20 ms switch-off delay).For sensors with several switching outputs repeat the programming for the other switching outputs accordingly.The colour tolerance can be individually determined for each switching output.The sensor is ready for operation.If the switching output is activated, the function display is lit (Out/OK).If the tolerance setting is to be changed subsequently, programming must be made again with the tolerance setting changed. |
