GTB20 are photoelectric proximity sensors with background suppression. Depending on
the remission factor of the object to be detected, and perhaps the background behind
it, a minimum distance (y) between the set sensing range (x) and the background is to
be maintained.
Check the application conditions:
Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object and background as well as the
remission factor capability of the object according to the corresponding diagram (x
= sensing range, y = minimum distance between set sensing range and background
(white, 90%)) remission factor: 6% = black 1, 18% = gray 2, 90% = white 3 (relative
to standard white as per DIN 5033). We recommend that the adjustment be performed
with an object of low remission.
The minimum distance (= y) for the background suppression can be determined from
the diagram
[figure 5
1] as follows:
Example: x = 1.5 m, y = 1.25 m. That is, the background (white, 90%) is suppressed at
a distance of > 1.25 m of the configured sensing range.
