1.10 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR
The optional Datalogic Photoelectric Sensor is used in AV7000 camera systems to detect the
presence of an item entering the scanning area.
The photoelectric sensor is used in singulated systems where the packages are separated
by an open space between the trailing edge of one package and the leading edge of the
next. In irregular package applications, the photoelectric sensor assists in maintaining the
package footprint so that the AV7000 camera will only scan and provide data for a specific
package.
Depending on the application, these devices may need to be configured differently. While the
photoelectric sensor and tachometer work well with belt conveyors, a special configuration is
needed for tilt-tray and cross-belt sorter applications. See section 3.10.1 and 3.11.1 for wiring
options.
