The SMARTEYE®

STEALTH-UV™Luminescence Sensor

The SMARTEYE® STEALTH-UV sensor is aspecial purpose sensor designed to detect thepresence of invisible fluorescent materialscontained in or added to chalks, inks, paint,greases, glue, or optical brighteners found inlabels, paper, tape, string, etc. The sensorcontains an ultraviolet (UV) solid state lightsource that is used to excite the luminescentmaterials to fluoresce in the visible range. Thesensor’s detector then responds to the visiblefluorescing light. When the received fluorescinglight level (displayed on the Contrast Indicator)reaches a level of “4” or above, the NPN andPNP output transistors will switch to the oppositestate.

The SMARTEYE® STEALTH-UV sensor is usefulfor a number of applications including highspeed, invisible, registration mark sensing. Manyclear bags and labels are manufactured with thehighest level of cosmetic sensitivity, making theuse of a standard colored registration marksundesirable. Having the high speed, highlyaccurate sensor available for this applicationensures customer satisfaction and the highestproduction line speeds.

The ability for the SMARTEYE® STEALTH-UVsensor to be used with standard glass fiber opticlight guides is a very cost effective way of gettingthe sensor into tight mechanical positions, orcaustic and harsh environments that would beharmful for standard lensed sensors. Not havingto use extremely high cost "special" fiber opticlight guides for UV detection offers a solution thatis very reasonable compared to the competition.

V™ Features

OPTIMIZED GAINADJUSTMENTThis unique feature provides automatic digitalselection of amplifier gain based upon your sensingrequirements.

AUTOSET ADJUSTMENTThe AUTOSET adjustment routine only requires thepush of one button, one time. Simply place the UVtarget in view and press the AUTOSET button for 1/2second.

TIMERWhen the “OFF” delay pulse stretcher is enabled, theoutput duration is extended by 15 milliseconds.Enabling the Timer allows ample time for the controllerto respond to short duration input events.

CONTRAST INDICATORProvides “at-a-glance” performance data, bothstatically and dynamically.

HIGH SPEED• 200µs for UVS-1 thru 4• 750µs for UVS-5• 300µs for UVS-6NOTE: Custom models available; consult factory fordetails

CONNECTIONS6 inch pigtail with 4-pin M12 connector

MOUNTING OPTIONSThrough-hole or bracket mount.

CONTRAST INDICATOR BAR 8Remains illuminated when Light State signal strength is 8 or above

CONTRAST INDICATOR BAR 4Switching Threshold - sensor outputs togglestate when signal passes through Bar 4...above or below

CONTRAST INDICATOR LEDs (X8)Green - provides visible, “at-a-glance”performance data

Responds to invisibleluminescent materials

TIMER INDICATORGreen - illuminates when 15ms pulse stretchertimer is enabledHold both buttons for two seconds toenable/disable timer

OUTPUT INDICATOR Red - illuminates when output transistors areonFlashes when output transistor is over currentlimit

LIGHT/DARK AND MANUAL UP ADJUST1. Push for two seconds to select “Light On”

or “Dark On” operation2. Tap UP to “Tweak” setting if needed

AUTOSET/MANUAL DOWN ADJUST1. Push and hold for AUTOSET2. Tap DWN to “Tweak” setting if needed
