PRODUCT OVERVIEW
PRODUCT OVERVIEWPRODUCT OVERVIEW
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The UVX 300 sensor effectively detects UV luminescent materials and markers. The modulated UV light
source in the UVX 300 is directed toward a target and the visible light, resulting from the fluorescence of the
material, is reflected back to the sensor. When the reflected light level exceeds the threshold the discrete
output changes state. Due to the fast response of the sensor, it is suitable for use in high-speed
applications. The 50mm lens accessory allows for very small spot size for fine resolution applications. The
sensor provides both an analog and a discrete output. The analog output signal has a 0 to 5 V range with
20mV resolution. A PLC or a computer can be used to process the analog output and monitor the status of
the discrete output signal.
The UVX 300 is a reliable, compact sensor with long range sensing capabilities. Two seven segment
displays provide visual representation of the relative intensity from 00 to 50. Easy two step sensitivity, and 3
LED intensity settings provide for flexible operation over wide range of distances and materials.

QUICK TART GUIDE
1. The display range is 00 through 50. The decimal points indicate the LED intensity level. The RED
LED above the display indicates that the intensity level exceeds the threshold setting.
2. Connect cable to power supply observing correct polarity. Reference wiring diagram.
3. NOTE: The remote lock input, pin 5 on the connector (yellow wire), must be left unconnected or
pulled to ground to allow operation of keys on sensor.
4. Apply power; sensor will initialize and perform its power up sequence.
5. The relative intensity will be displayed. By aiming the sensor away from any objects the display will
indicate 00. Aim the sensor at your target or a white piece of paper and the display will indicate an
intensity measurement. Move the target further away from the sensor to decrease the intensity level.
6. Press and release either key located below the display to view the current threshold setting. While
the current threshold is shown on the display, press the + or – key to increase or decrease the
setting, then wait several seconds for the sensor to return to the normal intensity display mode.
7. User programmable parameters are discussed in detail in the following sections.

Upon power up, the sensor initializes by turning on all segments on the display and sequencing

During normal operation the sensor display will indicate the relative intensity of a target within the
viewing area. The range of the relative intensity display is 00 through 50. The decimal points on the
display indicate the LED output intensity. No decimal points indicate low, one decimal point
indicates medium and two decimal points indicate high intensity.
Threshold
ThresholdThreshold
Threshold
When the relative intensity level exceeds the threshold setting the red status LED will turn on and the
discrete output will activate, indicating detection of the target. When the relative intensity level drops
below the threshold (as determined by the hysteresis setting), the red LED will extinguish and the
discrete output will de-activate. The threshold setting allows the user to select the detection level.
The default setting is 15.
While the current threshold is shown on the display, press the + or – key to increase or decrease the
setting, then wait several seconds for the sensor to return to the normal intensity display mode.

Hysteresis Level (H)

Hysteresis Level (H)
The hysteresis setting is indicated by H0 through H9. The hysteresis level is how far below the
threshold the signal must fall to de-activate or un-detect. The hysteresis can be set from 0 to 9. For
example, if the threshold is set at 25 and the intensity exceeds 25, the sensor will detect and activate
its output. With the hysteresis set to 5, the signal must drop to 20 to un-detect. This feature is useful
in cases where there may be variation within a target that might cause the intensity to drop below the
threshold slightly; the hysteresis allows the output to remain activated until the level drops
significantly. Press and release the T/+
T/+ T/+
T/+ key to change the hysteresis setting. The default setting is
2.
Discrete Output Configuration

Discrete Output Configuration
This setting allows the user to select either normal open (no) or normally closed (nc) configuration.
The normally open configuration de-activates the output during normal un-detect operation, and
activates the output upon detect. The normally closed configuration activates the output during
normal un-detect operation, and de-activates the output upon detect. Press and release the T/+

This feature allows extending the minimum length of time that the discrete output remains active
following target detection. The sensor response can be in the 100u (microsecond) range, i.e. a
target can move through the sensing range in 100u and the discrete output would active for only
that duration. A slower acquisition system (PLC) may not sample its inputs at a fast enough rate to
capture the signal. The discrete output pulse can be extended from 0 to 90m (milliseconds) in 10

The null feature allows the sensor to be “zeroed”. For example, when the target is not in view and
there is a background that causes a reading above zero, the null feature allows this level to be

4. Exit the teach function and return to the normal operating mode by Pressing the T/+

When in the teach mode the LED flashes constantly, yellow, green or red. Yellow indicates that the
sensor is ready to be taught the Detect level. Green indicates that the sensor is ready to be taught
the Undetect level. Red indicates that the last attempt to teach resulted in an error. If the error
occurred during the teaching of the Detect level then the signal intensity was less than 01. If the
error occurred during the teaching of the Undetect level, then the signal intensity was greater than or
equal to the threshold level. In either case, repeat the teach function to properly set the levels.

Discrete Output
Discrete OutputDiscrete Output
Discrete Output
The discrete output is a PNP/NPN configuration allowing the user to provide a load on this output
that is either pulled high to VDC or low to ground. The sensor monitors this level and automatically
determines whether to operate the PNP/NPN driver. This output is typically connected to a PLC.
The output remains active as long as the intensity level exceeds the threshold, in high-speed
applications it may be useful to use the Extend Output Pulse feature to lengthen the signal duration
to meet acquisition requirements of the PLC.
CAUTION:
CAUTION: CAUTION:
CAUTION: The discrete output must not be connected to outputs from other sensors (i.e. outputs
from multiple sensors must not be connected in parallel). Parallel connections may
damage sensor output circuitry.
Analog Output
Analog OutputAnalog Output
Analog Output
The analog output is 0-5V with 20mV resolution (8-bit). Any standard analog input channel typically
available on a PLC may monitor this output. The analog output signal is useful in applications where
simply triggering on the threshold is insufficient. For example, constant real-time monitoring of
intensity in process allows minor fluctuations or trends to be detected permitting corrective action to
be taken.
