Models SP100C and CCF are ideally suited to applications where depth of eld
is critical. The emitter and receiver are both directed at a point 0.1 inch (2,5mm)
ahead of the front surface. An aperture is included which, when attached, nar-
rows the depth of eld (see curves, below). This is particularly useful when it
is necessary to detect an object while ignoring another object or a surface just a
fraction of an inch farther away. The high excess gain at the focus allows detec-
tion of objects of low reectivity. The SP100C and CCF differ only in housing
style. Model SP100C is for general application. Model SP100CCF is used where
a narrow prole is important for mounting.

Models/Dimensions Excess Gain Beam Pattern
SP100E and SP100R miniature opposed sensors have a slim right-angle design
which allows them to be mounted in very tight locations. The thin, exible rib-
bon cable which exits from one corner may be run in any direction away from
the sensing point. The SP100E and R have a wide beam angle for forgiving
line-of-sight alignment. Alignment is easily made exact (and monitored) using
the AID™ LED on the MICRO-AMP module.
OPPOSED Mode Sensors
Models SP100D and SP100DB are general-purpose miniature diffuse sensors
which detect the reection of their own light from the surface of an object. The
SP100D is a right-angle design which is generally held in place using a #4 (3mm)
screw. The SP100DB ("B" = Barrel) is an in-line threaded barrel which typically
mounts through a 3/8" (10mm) diameter hole using the lock nuts which are sup-
plied. The optical response characteristics of these two sensors are identical.
