Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use inpersonnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.ModelsFixed-Field Mode OverviewT30 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.Fixed-Field Sensing – Theory of OperationThe T30 Fixed-Field sensor 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 fardetector's (R2) light signal (see object A in the Figure below, closer than the cutoff distance), the sensor responds to the object. If the far detector's (R2) light signal is stronger than the near detector's (R1) light signal (see object B in the Figure below, beyond the cutoff distance), the sensor ignores the object.•To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, T306E W/30.•To order the 4-pin M12/Euro-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q" to the model number. For example, T306EQ.•Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.T30 Sensors DC-Voltage SeriesOriginal Document121524 Rev. C2 October 2018121524The cutoff distance for the T30 is fixed at 200, 400, or 600 millimeters (7.9 inch, 16.7 inch, or 23.6 inch). Objects lying beyond the cutoff distance are usually ignored, even if they are highly reflective. However, under certain conditions, it is possible to falsely detect a background object (see Background Reflectivity and Placement on page 2).CutoffNearDetectorFarDetector ArrayAxis EmitterObject is sensed if amount of light at R1is greater than the amount of light at R2Figure 1. Fixed-Field ConceptIn the drawings and information provided in this document, the letters E, R1, and R2 identify how the sensor's three optical elements (Emitter "E", Near Detector "R1", and Far Detector "R2") line up across the face of the sensor. The location of these elements defines the sensing axis, see Figure 2 on page 2. The sensing axis becomes important in certain situations, such as those illustrated in Figure 5 on page 3 and Figure 6 on page 3.Sensor SetupSensing ReliabilityFor highest sensitivity, position the target for sensing at or near the point of maximum excess gain. Maximum excess gain for all models occurs at a lens-to-object distance of about 40 mm (1.5 in). Sensing at or near this distance makes the maximum use of each sensor’s available sensing power. The background must be placed beyond the cutoff distance. Note that the reflectivity of the background surface also may affect the cutoff distance. Following these guidelines improves sensing reliability.Background Reflectivity and PlacementAvoid mirror-like backgrounds that produce specular reflections. A false sensor response occurs if a background surface reflects the sensor's light more to the near detector (R1) than to the far detector (R2). The result is a false ON condition (Figure 3 on page 3). Correct this problem by using a diffusely reflective (matte) background, or angling either the sensor or the background (in any plane) so the background does not reflect light back to the sensor (Figure 4 on page 3). Position the background as far beyondthe cutoff distance as possible.An object beyond the cutoff distance, either stationary (and when positioned as shown in Figure 5 on page 3), or moving pastthe face of the sensor in a direction perpendicular to the sensing axis, may cause unwanted triggering of the sensor if more light is reflected to the near detector than to the far detector. Correct the problem by rotating the sensor 90° (Figure 6 on page 3). The object then reflects the R1 and R2 fields equally, resulting in no false triggering. A better solution, if possible, may be to reposition the object or the sensor. - Tel: +1-763-544-3164P/N 121524 Rev. CCutoff Reflective BackgroundFigure 3.

Object Beyond Cutoff - Problem E = EmitterR2 = Far Detector R1 = Near DetectorCutoff ReflectiveBackgroundorMoving ObjectA reflective background object in this position or moving across the sensorface in this axis is ignored.Figure 6. Object Beyond Cutoff - SolutionColor SensitivityThe effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be important for some applications. It is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff distance for lower reflectance targets is slightly shorter than for higher reflectance targets.This behavior is known as color sensitivity.For example, an excess gain of 1 for an object that reflects 1/10 as much light as the 90% white card is represented by thehorizontal graph line at excess gain = 10. An object of this reflectivity results in a far limit cutoff of approximately 190 mm (7.5 inch)for the 200 mm (8 inch) cutoff model, for example; and 190 mm represents the cutoff for this sensor and target.These excess gain curves were generated using a white test card of 90%reflectance. Objects with reflectivity of less than 90%reflect less light back to the sensor, and thus require proportionately more excess gain in order to be sensed with the samereliability as more reflective objects. When sensing an object of very low reflectivity, it may be especially important to sense it at or near the distance of maximum excess gain.Wiring DiagramsCabled Emitters–+NPN Standard–+PNP Standard–+Key:Wire 1 = Brown Wire 2 = White Wire 3 = Blue Wire 4 = BlackP/N 121524 Rev.

HumorIf you see humor as an optional form ofentertainment, you’re missing some of its biggest benefits: Humor makesaverage-looking people look cute and uninteresting people seem entertaining.Studies show that a good sense of humor even makes you seem smarter.Best of all, humor raises your energy, and thatcan have an effect on everything you do at school, at work, or in your personallife. The increase of energy will even make you more willing to exercise, andthat will raise your overall energy even more.Humor also transports your mind away from yourdaily troubles. Humor lets you better understand life and sometimes helps youlaugh at even the worst of your problems.In my experience, most people think they have asense of humor, and to some degree that’s true. But not all senses of humor arecreated equal. So I thought it would be useful to include some humor tips foreveryday life.You don’t have to be the joke teller in thegroup in order to show your sense of humor. You can be the one who directs theconversation to fun topicsthat are ripe for others to add humor. Every partyneeds a straight person. You’ll appear fun and funny by association.When it comes to in-person humor, effort countsa lot. When people see you trying to be funny, it frees them to try itthemselves. So even if your own efforts at humor fall short, you might befreeing the long kept humor in others. People need permission to be funny insocial settings b ecause there’s always a risk that comes with humor. Forin-person humor, quality isn’t as important as you might think. Your attitudeand effort count a lot.Some people--and I was one of them--believe thathumorous complaints about the little problems of life make humor, and sometimesthat is the case. The problem comes when you start doing too muchcomplaint-based humor. One funny observation about problem in your life can befunny, but five is just complaining, no matter how smart you think you are.Funny complaints can wear people out.Self-deprecating humor is usually thesafest type, but here again you don’t want to overshoot the target. Oneself-deprecating comment is a generous and even confident form of humor. Youhave to be at least a bit self-assured to laugh at yourself in front of others.But if you do it too often, you can transform in the eyes of others from aconfident joker to a Chihuahua dog.HumorBenefits of humor●Humoris form of ________.
