CLEAR LABEL Sensor
TRI-TRONICS®introduces the very
first Ultrasonic Clear Label Sensor with a High
Performance Graphic OLED display. The OLED display
provides the user with an unprecedented view of the
sensor's performance, options, program modes, and
helpful simple instructions never before offered in a
Clear Label Sensor. Designed into the sensor are all the
Ease-of-Use characteristics that have made Tri-Tronics'
sensors so well known in the industry.
The Ultrasonic Clear Label Sensor is the answer to what
the industry has been asking for...
"a reliable, durable, high quality clear label sensor that
provides visual confirmation of proper setup and
function..." a simple solution, with the ability to
accurately adjust for repeatable and reliable
performance.
Now "CONFIDENTLY" walk away from the labeling line,
"KNOWING" the throughput is at peak performance and
trouble free.

(**Advanced Option)
Dynamic Set is a convenient and easy way to set up the CLS sensor. Once initiated, simply
pull labels and gaps through the sender receiver transducers and then push the Gap or Label
button to complete. This feature is also available via the remote set wire. Dynamic Set is
beneficial when holding the gap in place is not easily accomplished, or physical access to the
sensor is not practical.
The Auto Adjust feature is helpful in applications with diminishing conditions...such as dirty or
dusty environments, or with inconsistent label or web material thickness. This feature bumps
up the gain automatically in order to maintain a functional and repeatable contrast between
labels and gaps.
The Output Mode allows the user to decide which is more important to detect...the label or
the gap. The leading or trailing edge of labels may be more desirable to receive an output in
some applications than others. This option allows the user to make that determination and
provides flexibility in real world conditions.
For visual preference, the Display Orientation allows the user to flip the screen for a more
user-friendly visibility.
Menu Options
The Sensor Scope is also an Advanced Option and allows the user to visually see how the
sensor is detecting the target. Whether the labels or web materials are inconsistent, or noise
issues occur occasionally, this feature clearly shows the user exactly where the problems are
and how to resolve the issue quickly.
(**Advanced Option)
The Timer Mode is offered as an Advanced Option. This feature provides users with the
option to condition the output specifically for the application requirement.
Off Delay: Extends the Output Time.
On Delay: Extends the Input Time.
One Shot: Provides a defined Output "On" Time.
Debounce: Provides an Anti-Chatter timer.
Quick Reference was included as a way to visually instruct through the different set up
options. This feature also includes contact information for the factory.
Button Lockout is useful for maintaining a set up without worry. This is tamper-proof, and
reassures the continued performance of the sensor and up-time of the production line.
