Explanation of terms
Item Explanatory diagram Meaning
Sensing distance Throughbeam This is the maximum detection distance that can be set with stability for through-beam
and retroreflective models, taking into account product deviations and temperature fluc-
tuations. Actual distances in standard conditions will be longer than the rated detection
distances for both models.

Diffuse reflective This is the maximum detection distance that can be set with stability for the diffuse

Photoelectric sensors Technical information
M.S.R. function
The Mirror Surface Rejection (MSR) is a function using the effect that light can be polarized and filtered according to the polarization direction. This effect can be used to avoid wrong detection of objects
with smooth glossy surfaces like aluminium cans.

No object Non-glossy object Object with a smooth, glossy surface

The light from the emitter hits the reflective plate and returns to Light from the emitter is obstructed by the object, does not reach (Example: battery, can, etc.)
the detector. the reflective plate, and does not return to the detector. Light from the emitter is reflected by the object and returns to the
detector.

A direct reflection to the receiver from the surface of the object can be avoided by mounting the sensor at an angle. But for higher detection reliability the M.S.R. (Mirror Surface Rejection) function
provides a solution for this type of application.

The light from the emitter is now polarized. The polarization plane is turned 90° by a reflector consisting of many small mirrors If an object with a smooth, glossy surface passes the emitted
aligned so the light is reflected three times (triple reflector). polarized light is returned to the receiver. As the polarization plane
is not turned 90° the light does not pass the polarization filter in
front of the receiver and the objects can be detected independant
of their surface.
