increase the distance between the scanner and decoder to 25 or 50

Package Detectors
Allen-Bradley PhotoswitchR package detectors are recommended
for use with the scanner. Select a switch from the Photoswitch
Series 6000 (-QD) or Series 9000 (-QD Micro Style) product lines
that best fits your application. You must order a sinking
type sensor
that can operate from a 12V DC supply with the -QD suffix (Quick
Disconnect) added to the catalog number.
For example: Catalog Number 42SRU-6203-QD or
Catalog Number 42GRU-9200-QD
The connector on the -QD sensors and the LD4/LD8 scanners are
compatible with Brad Harrison Micro-Change connectors and
