WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to

serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary

to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an

energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Fixed-Field Mode Overview

S30 Sensor self-contained fixed-field sensors are small, powerful, infrared diffuse mode sensors with far-limit cutoff (a

type of background suppression). Their high excess gain and fixed-field technology allow detection of objects of low

reflectivity, while ignoring background surfaces.

The cutoff distance is fixed. Backgrounds and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance.

Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed.

• 9 m (30 ft) cable: add suffix "W/30" (for example, S303E W/30).

• 4-pin Micro-style QD models: add suffix "Q1" (for example, S303EQ1). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable.

S30 Sensors AC-Voltage Series Fixed-Field Sensing – Theory of Operation The S30FF compares the reflections of its emitted light beam (E) from an object back to the sensor’s two differently aimed detectors, R1 and R2. See Figure 1 on page 2. If the near detector's (R1) light signal is stronger than the far detector's (R2) light signal (see object A in the Figure below, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the object.
