Connecting Material Present Switches
This section shows how to connect a commonly used Material Present
detector.
Single Switch Configuration
The D10 is a make/break optical switch. When connecting one optical switch,
it should be aligned with the LS8000-3's measurement spot. This
configuration can be used in order to more precisely detect the edge of the
material. The fiber optic elements are much smaller than the LS8000-3 spot
size, so repeatability is improved by more consistent edge detection.

Material Present Input
Light or Dark Operate
The switch can be configured for either Light Operate or Dark Operate. When
in Light Operate mode, the switch will output a voltage high when there is not
an object blocking the beam, and when in Dark Operate mode, the switch will
output a voltage high when there is an object blocking the beam. Also, the
switch should be configured for Super High Speed (SHS) mode in order to
minimize latency.
