Application — Thermistors The resistance of NTC thermistors decreases as the temperature increases. NTC thermistors are the most common type of thermistors in use. The resistance of PTC thermistors increases as the temperature increases. Thermistors are available with a variety of resistance values. The resistance of thermistors is commonly specified at a temperature of 25°C (77°F) for ease of testing before they are placed into a heating or cooling application. Although thermistors are available with a variety of resistance values, standard NTC thermistors rated at 25°C (77°F) include the following resistance values: 2 kΩ, 3 kΩ, 5 kΩ, 10 kΩ, 30 kΩ, 50 kΩ, and 1 MΩ. Changes in thermistor resistance are not linear with temperature changes. Manufacturers provide charts showing specific resistances at each temperature above and below the thermistor rating (typically 25°C). See Temperature vs. Resistance — 2000 Ω NTC Thermistor.

Application — Photoconductive Cells Photoconductive cells are used in many applications in which it is important to know whether light is present. Such applications include headlights that automatically turn on, automatic glare reduction on rearview mirrors, and security lighting. In an automobile electrical system, a manual/auto switch is used to place the low beam headlights in an automatic or manual position. In the automatic position, a photoconductive cell automatically turns the lights on at night by returning the SSR contact to the NC position. An off/high beams on switch is used to manually turn the high beam headlights on. An adjustable resistor (R) is used to set the sensitivity that determines when the lights automatically turn on.

Application — Photoconductive Diodes Photoconductive diodes (photodiodes) are used in optocoupler (optoisolator) circuits. An optocoupler is a circuit in which the input is coupled to the output by light. Optocouplers use a light emitting diode (LED) on the input and a photodiode on the output. Because the input and output are connected through a beam of light and not wires or transformers, their circuits are electrically isolated from each other preventing any transient voltages, short circuits, etc. from being transferred from one circuit to the other. Optocouplers can link one DC circuit directly to another DC circuit or the photodiode can control a transistor or SCR for switching electronic circuits or higher current DC circuits. Optocouplers can also control an AC output by using the photodiode to control a triac. See Optocouplers.

Application — Proximity Sensors A proximity sensor is an electrical switch that does not require physical contact for activation. The three types of proximity sensors are inductive, capacitive, and photoelectric sensors. Inductive sensors detect metallic objects. Nominal sensing distances range from 0.5 mm to 50 mm. The maximum sensing distance depends on the size of the object to be sensed and the type of metal. For example, iron is sensed at twice the distance of aluminum. Applications for inductive sensors include positioning, fan blade detection, drill bit breakage, and solid-state replacement of mechanical limit switches. See Inductive Sensors.

Capacitive sensors detect conductive and nonconductive solids, fluids, or granulated substances. Nominal sensing distances range from 3 mm to 20 mm. The maximum sensing distance depends on the physical and electrical characteristics (dielectric constant) of the object to be detected. Materials with larger dielectric values are easier to detect with a capacitive sensor. Applications for capacitive sensors include sensing the level of products such as sugar, grain, and sand in a container. See Capacitive Sensors.

Photoelectric sensors detect most materials and have the greatest sensing distance. Nominal sensing distances range to over 150 cm for sensors that do not use a separate reflector or receiver. Photoelectric sensors that use a separate receiver have nominal sensing distances that range over 100′. The maximum sensing distance depends on the color and type of surface of the reflecting object. Applications using photoelectric sensors include detecting an object moving along a conveyor system and no-touch detection in which the objects to be detected are excessively hot, light, or untouchable.

Sensor Installation Proximity sensors have a sensing head that produces a radiated sensing field. This sensing field detects the target of the sensor. The sensing field must be kept clear of interference for proper operation. Interference is any object other than the object to be detected that is sensed by a sensor. Interference may come from objects close to the sensor or from other sensors. General clearances are required for most proximity sensors. 8

Flush-Mounted Inductive and Capacitive Proximity Sensors When flush mounting inductive and capacitive proximity sensors, a distance equal to or greater than twice the diameter of the sensors is required between sensors. If two sensors of different diameters are used, the diameter of the largest sensor is used for installation. See Flush Mounted Sensors. For example, if two 8 mm inductive proximity sensors are flush mounted, at least 16 mm is required between the sensors. DISTANCE IS EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN TWO TIMES DIAMETER OF SENSOR

Non-Flush Mounted Inductive and Capacitive Proximity Sensors When non-flush mounting inductive and capacitive proximity sensors, a distance of three times the diameter of the sensor is required within or next to a material that can be detected. Three times the diameter of the largest sensor is required when inductive and capacitive proximity sensors are installed next to each other. Spacing is measured from center to center of the sensors. When inductive and capacitive proximity sensors are mounted opposite each other, six times the rated sensing distance is required for proper operation. See Non-Flush Mounted Sensors. For example, if two 16 mm capacitive proximity sensors are non-flush mounted, at least 48 mm is required between the sensors. DISTANCE IS THREE TIMES DIAMETER OF SENSOR 48 mm 48 mm

ELECTRICAL MOTOR CONTROLS for Integrated Systems APPLICATIONS MANUAL
Mounting Photoelectric Sensors Photoelectric sensors transmit a beam of light. The beam of light detects the presence or absence of an object. Only part of the light beam is effective when detecting the object. The effective light beam is the area of light that travels directly from the transmitter to the receiver. If the object does not completely block the effective light beam, the object is not detected. The body of a photoelectric sensor may be cylindrical, rectangular, or slotted. When mounting photoelectric sensors, the receiver is positioned to receive as much light as possible from the transmitter. Because more light is available at the receiver, greater operating distances are allowed and more power is available for the system to see through dirt in the air, on the transmitter, and on the receiver lens. The transmitter is mounted on the clean side of the detection zone because light scattered by dirt on the receiver lens affects the system less than light scattered by dirt on the transmitter lens. See Photoelectric Sensor Positioning.

Frequency Activating frequency is the limit to the number of pulses per second that can be detected by a photoelectric control in a time period. All photoelectric controls have an activating frequency. To determine the required activating frequency of a photoelectric application, the following procedure is used: 1. Determine the maximum speed of the objects to be detected. The speed of the objects is found by measuring the speed of the objects (in ft/min or in./sec) and converting the speed to sec/in. See Speed Conversions. For example, cartons on a conveyor travel at 21 ft/min. Twenty-one feet per minute equals 0.238 sec/in. (from Speed Conversions table).

2. Determine the dark input signal duration. Dark input signal duration is the time period when a photoelectric sensor is dark because the detected object is blocking the light beam. Dark input signal duration is found by multiplying the minimum dimension of the object to be detected (in in.) by the sec/in. value. For example, if a 6″ × 3″ container has a 0.263 sec/in. value, the dark input signal duration is 0.789 sec (3 × 0.263 = 0.789). © 2014 American Technical Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved

ELECTRICAL MOTOR CONTROLS for Integrated Systems APPLICATIONS MANUAL
3. Determine the light input signal duration. Light input signal duration is the time period when a photoelectric sensor is lit because no detectable object is in the light beam. Light input signal duration is found by multiplying the minimum distance between the objects to be detected by the sec/in. value. For example, if the moving objects are spaced between 4″ and 15″ on a conveyor traveling at 0.200 sec/in., the light input signal duration is 0.8 sec (4 × 0.200 = 0.8). 4. Determine activating frequency. Activating frequency of a photoelectric control application is found by adding the dark input signal duration to the light input signal duration. This value is compared to the manufacturer stated value. The activating frequency of a photoelectric control must be less than the activating frequency required for the application.
