Output Protection Protected against short circuit conditions
Output Configuration Discrete (switched): SPST solid-state switch; choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) models
Analog output: 0 to 10V dc or 4 to 20 mA
Output Rating Discrete (switched) output: 100 mA maximum
Off-state leakage current: < 5 µA
Output saturation NPN: < 200 mV @ 10 mA and < 600 mV @100 mA
Output saturation PNP: < 1.2V at 10 mA; < 1.6V at 100 mA
Analog voltage output: 2.5 kΩ minimum load impedance
Analog current output: 1 kΩ max. @ 24V; max. load resistance = [Vcc-4.5/0.02 Ω]
Output Response Time Discrete output
Slow: 100 ms ON and OFF
Medium: 10 ms ON and OFF
Fast: 1 ms ON and OFF
Analog Voltage output (-3 dB)
Slow: 2.5 Hz (192 ms average/ 1 ms update rate)
Medium: 10 Hz (48 ms average/ 1 ms update rate)
Fast: 114 Hz (6 ms average/ 1 ms update rate)
Linearity ± 60 mm from 0.5 to 50 m (0.12% of full scale)
(Specified @24V dc, 22° C using a BRT-TVHG-8X10P retroreflector)
Resolution/Repeatability See Figure 4.
Discrete Output Hysteresis Fast: 20 mm
Medium: 10 mm
Slow: 6 mm
Temperature Effect < 3 mm / °C
Minimum Window Size 40 mm
Remote Teach Input 18 kΩ minimum (65 kΩ at 5V dc)
Remote TEACH To teach: Connect yellow wire to +5 to 24V dc
To disable: Connect yellow wire to 0 to +2V dc (or open connection)
See Remote Programming on page 3.
Adjustments Response speed: Push button toggles between fast, medium, and slow
(1 ms, 10 ms and 100 ms discrete; 114 Hz, 10 Hz and 2.5 Hz analog)
Window limits (analog or discrete): TEACH-mode programming of near and far window limits (see
programming procedure). Limits may also be taught remotely via
TEACH input (see page 3).
Analog output slope: The first limit taught is assigned to minimum output current or voltage (4 mA or 0V dc).
Push-button enable/disable (lockout): via remote line (see page 6)
Factory defaults: Slow response speed (100 ms discrete, 2.5 Hz analog)
Analog/discrete window limits 0.5 m - 50 m using supplied BRT-TVHG-8X10P target
Positive analog slope
Push buttons enabled
Laser Control Connect red wire to +5 to 24V dc to enable laser beam; connect to 0 to +1.8V dc (or open connection)
to disable. See page 6 for delay times on enable.
