Product Description

The SPECTRO-1-100-COF-d12.0 is a single-channel contrast sensor with a typical measuring range of 60 mm to 240 mm and a light spot size of approximately 12 mm at 100 mm distance. It features a super-bright white-light LED with selectable AC, DC, or OFF modes for detecting luminous or self-luminous objects, and includes 12-bit gray scale resolution for high-accuracy contrast detection. The sensor supports both digital (NPN/PNP-configurable) and analog outputs (0–10V or 4–20mA), has two digital inputs, and operates with a high switching frequency of up to 60 kHz. Its rugged aluminum housing is rated IP67 at the optics and IP64 at the electronics, and the device is temperature-compensated for operation from -4°F to 131°F (-20°C to +55°C). Configuration and diagnostics are handled via RS232 or Ethernet using included Windows® software, which also provides oscilloscope and data logging capabilities.
