Overview
The easy-to-use QC50 series true color sensor uses modulated white light with red, green, and blue (R, G, B) electronic filters to scan for the presence of one, two or three colors. Its compact size allows it to be mounted almost anywhere. Configuration options include Programming mode for color detection parameters and Setup mode for selecting an adjustable output OFF-delay or selecting between two response speeds (some models). Three solid-state outputs may be set individually for color differentiation or for color-plus-intensity differentiation (see Program the Sensor on page 2).

Compact, Self-Contained, Three-Output Color-Differentiating Sensor

• Two versions for application flexibility: QC50 models for most applications, and QCX50 models for more challenging applications
• Compact, self-contained design
• Analyzes and compares color to color, or varying intensities of one color
• QCX50 models excel in challenging applications, such as differentiating dark blue from black
• Easy-to-set programming options for 1, 2, or 3 colors
• Three programming parameters: channel, sensing mode, and tolerance level
• 10 tolerance levels to allow for product variation
• Output OFF-delay (6 options); selection applies to all three color channels
• Gate mode option (also called inhibiting, synchronization, or windowing)
