1.7 PHOTOELECTRIC SENSOR
The optional Datalogic Photoelectric Sensor is used in DX8210 barcode scanner systems to
detect the presence of an item in 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. The photoelectric sensor, along with the encoder, enables a programmable transmit
point at a defined distance from the sensor. Without the photoelectric sensor, the barcode
scanner can be run in continuous mode. See 4.5.1 Modify Settings | Global Settings |
Operating Mode.
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 3.11 for wiring options.
