Des ription
The MCS-500 is a series of completely self-con-
tained photoelectric controls with LED light
source, receiver, amplifier and output device in
one unit. This series of Photoscanners has a per-
manently wired base with a line of plug-in elec-
tronics that can be easily interchanged.
The MCS-500’s light source is solid state and has
nearly unlimited life. The LED (Light Emitting
Diode) is modulated at a high frequency to oper-
ate effectively over long distances. The light
receiver circuitry is strobed in synchronism with
the LED, resulting in the device being virtually
immune to all light other than its own. The light
source operates in the infrared spectrum and is
invisible. For initial setup purposes, a bright, high-
ly visible LED indicator is located under the clear
dome. When the beam from the source is reflect-
ed back to the sensor, the indicator illuminates.

Installation
Mounting
1. Mount the base securely on a firm support
using the two screws provided with the thread-
ed #8-32 holes in the unit’s base. See mount-
ing dimensions. Figure 4.
For ease of mounting and aligning use the
optional mounting bracket, part number 7150-
101-020.
2. For best results, mount the scanner vertically
to decrease the possibility of dirt and other for-
eign matter from blocking the beam.
Alignment
1. The unit is shipped set for light operation. The
output device will activate when light from the
source is reflected back to the receiver. for
dark operation, refer to the light/dark switch
label enclosed with the unit, or see Figure 3.
2. Loosen the screw on the top cover so that the
clear dome will swivel freely, exposing the
adjustments. Set the sensitivity adjustment to
maximum by turning the potentiometer fully
clockwise as shown in Figure 4 and connect
the 120 VAC leads to the proper terminals.
(Caution: Use wire with insulation suitable for
120 VAC.) Plug one of the output modules list-
ed under the module options into the base.
The visible LED indicator on top of the scanner
will light when the infrared beam is completed
from the source to the sensor.
3. Place the target in the position detection is
desired. With the scanner aimed at the target
and mounted loosely on its mounting bracket,
swivel the scanner up and down and left and
right, noting the position in which the visible
alignment indicator is lit. Position the scanner
in the center of this area and secure the scan-
ner mounting. Note that the area surrounding
the target must be nonreflective or satisfactory
operation will not be obtained. Also, any reflec-
tive objects in the scanner’s optical path and
operational range will be sensed. Care should
be taken to ensure that only the desired target
is capable of being sensed by the scanner.
The sensitivity adjustment may be used to
decrease the sensitivity of the scanner for opti-
mum operation.
Note: n order to achieve optimum performance
when replacing the electronic head, some
realignment may be necessary.
Modules And output Wiring
1. Connect the output wires to the proper termi-
nals. See Typical Terminal Wiring, Figure 2.
2. nsert output module in the base.

Timing Adjustment
Refer to the timing label enclosed. See Figure 3.

Maintenan e
1. For reliable operation, the lens should be
cleaned periodically. Cleaning intervals may
vary, depending on installation environment,
from several times a year to several times a
day. f sensitivity adjustment is not at maximum
(or scanner is used at or near its maximum
range). more care must be taken to keep the
lenses clean.
Note: Enclosure is gasketed. Keep the cover
secured firmly during operation to prevent dirt
and smudge from building up on the inside of
the lens and photoelectric components.
2. To assure reliable operation, periodically check
tightness of the scanner mounting.
3. On high cycle rate applications using relay out-
put, the relay may require periodic replace-
ment.
