## Overview 

The QS30ELVC is an easy-to-use, high-performance retroreflective sensor optimized for the detection of clear, translucent, or opaque objects. The sensor's optical design ensures reliable detection of PET bottles, glass containers, and optically engineered surfaces such as mirrors, LCD glass with polarizing films, or semiconductor wafers. The sensor will not be tricked by specular reflections from the object under normal operating conditions.

QS30ELVC Series Clear Object Retroreflective Sensor 

Features 

The compact housing has a large, easy-to-see bar graph display for easy configuration and status monitoring during operation. The sensor housing can be side-mounted using integral mounting holes or front-mounted using the 30 mm threaded barrel. A wide assortment of mounting brackets are also available for applications requiring adjustability or robust mechanical protection. 

The QS30ELVC is configured for operation using the Light SET procedure. The sensor is simply aligned to the included retroreflective target and the Light SET is initiated either via the push button or the remote wire input. A reliable detection is assured when the appropriate threshold for clear, translucent or dark object is selected. 

Continued reliable operation is maintained as the thresholds adapt to changing signal levels over time using Banner Engineering’s auto compensation tracking algorithm. The sensor tracks the amount of light returned at every opportunity and makes fine adjustments to the switching threshold as required because of dust or contamination in the environment building up on the lens window or reflector. If the retroreflector is cleaned, returning the light to its original level, the sensor quickly adapts and continues operating without requiring another Light SET procedure. 

The sensor can recover from a cold power-up by reusing the stored threshold values from the last Light SET procedure. You only need to perform the Light SET procedure if the sensor is moved or the sensor-to-reflector separation distance is changed. 

The sensor ships from the factory as a DARK OPERATE (DO), non-polarized retroreflective sensor with auto compensation enabled for easy set-up and reliable operation. The automatic compensation tracking algorithm can be disabled if required through the user SETUP buttons or the remote teach wire.

## Applications 

## Clear Bottle or Object Detection 

**==> picture [111 x 9] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
Clear bottle or object detection<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


1. Mount the retroreflector. 

   - Align the sensor to the retroreflector. 

2. 

3. Perform Light SET with no object present (see "Perform a Single-Point Light Set" on page 9). 

4. Using Switchpoint Adjustment ("Selecting the Switchpoint" on page 10), select the darkest switchpoint that reliably detects the object. Medium level (16% below the signal from the retroreflector) works for most applications. Dark level provides more robust detection under difficult environmental conditions (e.g. dust, vibration, etc).

## Chapter 3 Configuration Instructions 

## Perform a Single-Point Light Set 

A single-point light set is useful for clear object detection and other applications with small variations in contrast. Use this procedure to set a switchpoint at 8 (clear), 16 (medium) or 32 (dark) percent below the signal from the retroreflector. 

Select the switchpoint position using the + and - buttons. Select 8, 16, or 32 percent (Switchpoint Selection). 

The sensor must be aimed at the reflector during the Set process. All conditions darker than the switchpoint condition result in an ON output (Dark Operate). Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by changing Light/Dark Operate in Setup mode. The factory default setting is Dark Operate. 

The duration of each button click or remote input pulse is defined as T, where T is: 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s.

1. Align the sensor to the reflector. 

2. Set the switchpoint. 

   - Push buttons: Press and hold + for more than 2 seconds. 

   - Remote: Single-pulse the remote line. 

The green power LED is off, the amber output LED is on, and the bargraph's two top signal LEDs flash alternately. 

If the switchpoint was accepted: the green power LED is on, the amber output LED is on for light operate or off for dark operate, and the bargraph's appropriate LEDs are ON. The sensor returns to RUN mode with new settings. 

If the switchpoint was not accepted: the green power LED is on, the amber output LED is flashing (alarm state), and the bargraph is off. 

## Configure the Sensor Using Setup Mode 

Use Setup Mode to change sensor configuration: 

- Light or Dark operate 

- Enable or disable automatic compensation algorithm 

If Setup Mode programming is interrupted and remains inactive for 60 seconds, the sensor returns to Run mode with the most recent settings (for example, exits and saves the current selection). Setup Mode operates in the background while the outputs are active; changes are updated instantly.

QS30ELVC Series Clear Object Retroreflective Sensor 

Configuration Instructions 

The sensor can be configured using the remote line (see ). 

The duration of each button click or remote input pulse is defined as T, where T is: 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s. 

1. To access Setup Mode, press and hold both push buttons > 2 seconds. 

   - The green Power LED is off, the amber Output LED remains active, and the bargraph status indicators (LO and AUTO) flashes the current configuration. 

2. To select the setting combination, click either push button until the LEDs show the desired settings. The sensor rotates through four setting combinations, in the following order: 

**==> picture [470 x 77] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>

3. Press and hold both push buttons > 2 seconds to return to Run Mode with your new settings. The green Power LED is on, the amber Output LED remains active, and the bargraph indicates the current configuration. The sensor returns to Run Mode with the new settings. 

## Selecting the Switchpoint 

The switchpoint can be selected during Run Mode using either the push buttons or the remote wire. 

Select the switchpoint using the + and - push buttons. There are three possible choices: 8, 16, or 32 percent below the signal from the retroreflector. The selection does not wrap around, so use both the + and - buttons to select your value. 

The sensor continues operating normally with the newly selected threshold value. It is not necessary to repeat the light set procedure. 

## Push Button Disable 

In addition to its configuration function, the remote wire may be used to disable the push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents accidental or unauthorized adjustment of the sensor settings. Connect the sensor's gray wire as 

T T T T 

described in , and four-pulse to either enable or disable the push buttons: T T T 

## Alarm State 

The QS30ELVC Alarm State indicates that the sensor requires attention. In all situations, clear the alarm by realigning the sensor to the retroreflector, cleaning the sensor or retroreflector of contamination, and performing a Light SET to establish a valid light signal. 

Alarm State is indicated by: 

- Amber Output LED is flashing 

- All three red Signal LEDs are off 

- Output forced to blocked state (for example, if the sensor is in dark operate (DO), the output is conducting) 

The sensor may enter Alarm State for three reasons: 

1. The sensor may be in Alarm State when first powered up. This is normal operation and does not indicate a problem with the sensor. The Alarm State will be cleared when a valid Light SET is performed. 

2. The sensor enters Alarm State if the Light SET procedure fails. This indicates the sensor did not receive enough light from the retroreflector for reliable detection. Realign the sensor to the retroreflector, making sure all optical surfaces are free of contamination. If the automatic compensation algorithm is enabled, the sensor may recover at this point and begin operating normally. It is not necessary to repeat the Light SET procedure. If automatic compensation has been disabled, the sensor remains in the Alarm State until the alignment has been corrected and a Light SET is successfully completed. 

3. The sensor can enter Alarm State if the auto compensation algorithm is enabled and the sensor has automatically adjusted the threshold as much as possible. The sensor and retroreflector should be cleaned or the sensor should be

QS30ELVC Series Clear Object Retroreflective Sensor 

Configuration Instructions 

realigned to the retroreflector. The sensor will automatically adapt to the new light level, or a Light SET can be performed to reestablish the light level. 

In any case, the sensor can be returned to normal operation by ensuring a clean optical path, aligning the sensor to the retroreflector, and performing a Light SET procedure on the sensor. 

## Remote Line TEACH 

Connect the gray wire of the sensor to ground (0 V DC), with a remote programming switch connected between them. 

Run Mode is the sensor’s normal operating condition. 

The duration of each button click or remote input pulse is defined as T, where T is: 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s. 

A Hold exits TEACH Mode and returns to Run Mode with the previously saved changes. The duration of a Hold is: T > 2 s. A Timeout occurs if a condition is not registered within 60 seconds, causing the sensor to return to Run Mode (during sensor configuration only). Sensor configuration user feedback is shown on the green LED. See the flowchart below.
