2.1.3. Photocells
Label photocell: Transmission
JP2: PIN 1 VSS ~1,2V
PIN 2 INP
PIN 3 INP }see below
PIN 4 GND 0V
Depending on the transparency of the label res. backing paper the voltage at the input of the
AD-converter is changing.
In sketch 1 a typical voltage wave form at "INP" is shown ( measurable at U6 PIN3 too).
In case the adjusted value of the sending current of the photocell is not sufficient, e.g. when
using extremely thick or thin backing paper, it can be adjusted by changing P1.
Rotation to the right adjustment for thick backing paper
Rotation to the left adjustment for thin backing paper
The "INP"-level can be displayed in the menu item "Parameter of the label photocell" under
"Transmission photocell" (see chapter "2.5.4. Monitor").

label photocell: reflection
JP3: PIN 1 VCC 5V
PIN 2 INP see sketch
PIN 3 VSS ~ 2V
PIN 4 GND 0V
The voltage wave form at "INP" is similar to the one described under A ( measurable at U6 PIN4 too).
It has to be considered that the marking for the reflection photocell must be in a distance of 32,5 mm
to the interior rim, so that the photocell recognizes the marking.
The "INP"-level can be displayed in the menu item "Parameter of the photocell" under "Reflection
photocell" (chapt. "2.5.4. Monitor"). The marking should have a size of at least 7 mm x 3 mm or bigger.
