R58E Expert Series Registration Mark Sensor
## Overview
R58E sensors offer maintenance-free, solid-state reliability for typical color contrasts found in product and material registration applications. Fast 50-microsecond sensing response produces excellent registration repeatability, even in ultra-high-speed applications. This fast response, coupled with the small 1.2 × 3.8 mm (0.05 in × 0.15 in) sensing image, allows the detection of small and inconspicuous registration marks.
R58E sensors feature TEACH mode sensitivity adjustment by presenting two sensing conditions to the sensor. TEACH mode has two options: Static TEACH and Dynamic TEACH. Static TEACH is used to position the two sensing conditions individually. Dynamic TEACH provides a means for teaching a series of conditions on-the-fly; the R58E samples the sensing events and automatically sets the switchpoint between the lightest and darkest conditions. The sensor then determines which sensing condition is present for the shortest time and assigns the Output ON condition to that event (therefore, LO/DO selection is automatic). If necessary, the LO/DO setting can be reversed in Setup mode.

**----- End of picture text -----**
The sensor uses a tri-color LED during either teach process and automatically selects a red, green, or blue sensing beam, based on the contrast between the registration mark and its background. For applications where the user wishes to select the sensing beam color, individual colors may be enabled/disabled in Setup mode.
Sensitivity may be fine-tuned at any time by clicking the “+” or “-” buttons on the sensor. The eight-element barograph display clearly displays the relative received signal strength. The discrete bipolar (one NPN and one PNP) outputs may be configured in Setup mode to include a 30-millisecond ON-delay and/ or OFF-delay, if required.
Configuration is accomplished either by using the push-buttons on the sensor or by supplying input pulses using the remote input. The buttons may be disabled using the remote input.
The construction of the R58E is extremely robust, with a die-cast metal housing, plastic optics, and IP67 and NEMA 6 leakproof design for harsh sensing environments.

In light operate (LO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns the same or more light to the sensor and OFF when the sensor detects less light than the configured/taught target. In opposed and retroreflective sensing modes , light operate is active when the beam is unblocked. In diffuse, fixed field, and adjustable field sensor modes , light operate is active when the target is present.
In dark operate (DO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns less light to the sensor than the configured target and OFF when the sensor detects more light than the configured/taught target. In opposed and retroreflective sensing modes , dark operate is active when the beam is blocked. In diffuse, fixed field, and adjustable field sensor modes , dark operate is active when the target is absent.
## Installation
## Install the Lens
The lens may be installed at either of two lens ports (see "Figure: Mounting Distance and Lens Positions" on page 3). The lens and the lens port cap are both threaded and may be exchanged by hand; no tools are required. The lens and cap both include an o-ring seal.

R58E Expert Series Registration Mark Sensor
NOTE: The lens port cap must be installed on the unused port for reliable operation. Fully seat the lens cap to ensure a liquid-tight seal.
## Mounting Considerations
The R58E Expert Series Registration Mark Sensor includes a total of eight size M5 threaded holes used for mounting. These threaded holes are positioned to match the mounting hole patterns common to other registration mark sensors. The R58E includes four M5 x 0.8 x 6 mm stainless steel cap screws and a hex key wrench.
- The R58E focus is 10 mm (0.39 in) from the lens surface. The R58E must be mounted within 3 mm (0.12 in) of this distance from the surface of the material for reliable sensing ("Figure: Mounting Distance and Lens _Mounting Distance and Lens Positions_ Positions" on page 3). Consider the following when mounting the R58E: Cap • When sensing a registration mark on a reflective (shiny) material, mount the R58E at an angle that places the lens centerline at approximately 15° off perpendicular to the material’s surface ("Figure: Mounting for Transparent and Opaque Material" on page Lens 3). This minimizes strong direct reflections (which tend to 10 ± 3 mm overwhelm the sensor), and allows the sensor to discern the relatively small optical contrast offered by differences in colors.
- • Clear materials are poor reflectors of light. When sensing a mark printed on a clear material (for example, a clear poly web), position a reflective surface directly behind the clear material to return light to the R58E. The printed mark, regardless of its color, then Lens becomes the dark condition, as it blocks the light from reaching the reflective surface. Most clear materials are also shiny; it is important to include a 15° skew angle when sensing clear materials ("Figure: Mounting for Transparent and Opaque Material" on page 3).
- • Whenever possible, sense a web material at a location where it Cap passes over a tension bar or roller, to minimize the adverse effects 10 ± 3 mm
- Whenever possible, sense a web material at a location where it passes over a tension bar or roller, to minimize the adverse effects of web flutter or sag ("Figure: Mounting for Matte Material " on page 3).

## Sensor Configuration
The R58E is pre-set to power up in Run mode and to sense the most recently taught registration mark. Quickly optimize the sensitivity of the R58E using one of two available TEACH modes: Static TEACH or Dynamic TEACH.
Static TEACH: Both the Output ON and Output OFF conditions are presented, and sensitivity can be adjusted manually using the push buttons.
Dynamic TEACH: The registration mark is presented during actual sensing conditions, and the sensitivity can be adjusted manually using the push buttons.
## Remote TEACH
Configure the sensor either using the push buttons, or using a remote switch. Remote configuration also may be used to enter Setup mode to set the ON- and OFF-delay, and to disable the push buttons to prevent unauthorized adjustment of the configuration settings. To access this feature, connect the gray wire of the sensor to 0 V dc, with a remote switch between the sensor and 0 V dc.
Follow the sequence of input pulses to configure the sensor (see the procedures in this document). The duration of each pulse (corresponding to a push button “click”), and the period between multiple pulses, are defined as: “T”: 0.04 seconds ≤ “T” ≤ 0.8 seconds.
## Push Button Enable/Disable
In addition to its configuration function, the remote input may be used to disable the push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents unauthorized adjustment of the configuration settings. Connect the gray wire of the sensor as described in "R58E Wiring Diagrams" on page 4, and four-pulse to either enable or disable the push buttons. The duration of each button click or remote input pulse is defined as T, where T is: 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s.
NOTE: Push buttons can be disabled/enabled from the remote line only.

## Static TEACH
In Static TEACH mode, the sensor learns two sensing conditions after each is presented one time. The sensor automatically positions the switchpoint midway between the two conditions.
The sensor returns to Run mode if either TEACH condition is not registered within 60 seconds. The sensor reverts to the previous taught conditions.
Cancel TEACH mode by pressing and holding the Static push button for ≥ 2 seconds. The sensor reverts to the previous taught conditions (that is, exit without saving).
Static TEACH and Manual Adjust
Sensitivity may be adjusted at any time when the sensor is in Run mode by clicking the “+” and “-” buttons. Each click translates to 1/2 segment on the signal strength bargraph display. For best sensing reliability, both sensing conditions should register equally distant from the switchpoint on the signal strength bargraph display.

## Maximum Feed Rate
To optimize performance and to ensure that all LED color and gain combinations are evaluated during Dynamic TEACH, the registration mark must encompass the 1.2 mm dimension of the 1.2 mm x 3.8 mm sensing image for at least 0.002 seconds. Determine the maximum feed rate using the following formula:
Maximum Feed Rate in mm/sec. = (registration mark width in mm – 1.2) / 0.002
## Example with a 5 mm registration mark:
Maximum Feed Rate = (5 mm – 1.2) / 0.002 = 1900 mm/sec.
NOTE: Registration marks narrower than the 1.2 mm sensing image width can be detected at feed rates less than 600 mm/sec, but the contrast is reduced due to averaging of the background and the registration mark.
## Dynamic TEACH and Manual Adjust
Sensitivity may be adjusted at any time when the sensor is in Run mode by clicking the “+” and “-” buttons. Each click translates to 1/2 segment on the bargraph display. For best sensing reliability, the light and dark conditions should register equally distant from the switchpoint on the bargraph display.
