Chart illustrating signal from typical hot background
The hot product is detected by reference to an appropriate site-adjusted control margin (stored in Non-Volatile memory) that ensures sufficient gap between background IR signal and the IR radiating from the product.
Chart illustrating signal from passing hot product
This chart illustrates the control margin. Where the background IR is uniform then the control margin can be set to a lower figure. Any hot product passing needs to give a signal that exceeds the set point.
   
   

Delay Timer Function 
Outputs delayed from the detection of leading and trailing edge by 10 digitally adjustable present delay times from       1msec. to 250msec.
