103. Wiring the CS64A The CS64A requires a 24Vdc power source capable of supplying 100mA. It should be a linear power supply and not be used to s

114. Adjustment The CS64A-00 is factory calibrated to read Spectralon as 9.50V on all four colors (100% ratios) at 1.75” standoff. (Refer to specifi

125. Sample Quick Test You can do a quick test using the CS64A simply by wiring the +24V power, placing the samples one at a time at the standoff di

136. Threshold Setting To differentiate between colors, set up thresholds on the Red/NIR, Green/NIR, and Blue/NIR ratios. If a sample is different f

147.2 Edge Effects The CS64A-00 sees an area of about 0.35 x 0.35 inches. When material is entering or leaving the sensing area, the color can appea

158. Recalibration The LEDs have a typical operating life of 100,000 hours or about 10 years of continuous operation. The intensity of LEDs varies wi

1610. Frequently Asked Questions Q. How many different colors can the CS64A detect? A. Unlike many color sensors, the CS64A does not limit the numb

17A. In PLC sorting applications, the host system typically reads the four 0-10V signals and sets thresholds on the Red/NIR, Blue/NIR, Green/NIR rat
