- 0.04” to 12” (1 mm to 305 mm) with 90% reflective material. (Typical Maximum detection distance to be set at factory) - Features: Recognizes objects as small as 0.08” (2 mm) - Recognizes objects as small as 0.08” (2 mm) - Ambient light rejection < 100K Lux - Open collector output - Cable length 39” (990 mm) lead length 28 AWG wire The **OPB720A and OPB720B** Series reflective switches detects objects as far away as 12” (305 mm) using standard 90% reflective material, and can detect objects as small as 0.08” (2 mm). The OPB720 series consist of three standard reflective switching distances **-06Z** for typically 6” (152 mm), **-12Z** for typically 12” (305 mm) and **-30VZ** for typically 30” (762 mm). The power supply voltage range of the **OPB720A** series is 10 to 30 volts while the power supply voltage range for the **OPB720B** is 4 to 7 volts. The **OPA720A and OPB720B** sensors are **NOT** affected by ambient light in most conditions. Ambient light conditions are compensated by using a synchronous driver detection scheme. This sensor has a logical output that switches from a high level with reflective target to a low level with no reflective target. With the addition of hysteresis, the **OPB720** series minimizes output switching oscillations. The type of material used for the target is very dependent on the distance that can be achieved for the sensor. Taking this into consideration, the **OPB720** series can be used in either a reflective or interruptive mode. As an example, the **OPB720A-12Z** can easily be used in a reflective mode for distances around 12” (305 mm) while when reflecting off a retro-reflective target similar to 3M 3870 or Nippon Crystallite at distances around 85” (216 mm) the device works well in the interruptive mode. See the included charts for typical distances with different reflective material for other versions of the **OPB720** series devices. The **OPB720** series has an open collector output transistor and power requirements are compatible with most PLCs and TTL gates. **==> picture [494 x 232] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**<br> Ordering Information<br>Applications: Part Number Description<br> Conveyer belt package recognition<br>Maximum detection of 0.04” to 6” (1.0 mm to 152 mm)<br>OPB720A-06Z<br> Personnel movement recognition 39” (991 mm) lead length with 28 AWG wire, using white 90%<br>OPB720B-06Z<br> Near-focus security systems reflective paper<br> Hand wash and soap dispensing stations Maximum detection of 0.04” to 12” (1.0 mm to 305 mm)<br>OPB720A-12Z<br> Toilet and urinal sensors 39” (991 mm) lead length with 28 AWG wire, using white 90%<br>OPB720B-12Z<br> Product dispensing systems reflective paper<br>Vcc OPB720A-30VZ Maximum detection of 0.04” to 30” (1.0 mm to 762 mm)<br>e 39” (991 mm) lead length with 28 AWG wire, using white 90%<br>OPB720B-30VZ<br>reflective paper<br>e<br>VYA Electronics Output OPB720A-30VZ & OPB720B-30VZ ONLY<br>& Additional laser safety information can be found<br>INVISIBLE LASER RADIATION on the Optek website.
