Excess Gain 
Performance based on use of a 90% reflectance white test card.
†
Fixed-Field – 200 mm
Ø 16 mm spot size @ 35 mm focus
Ø 20 mm spot size @ 200 mm cutoff
†
 Using 18% gray test card:  Cutoff 
distance will be 95% of value shown.
†
 Using 6% black test card: Cutoff 
distance will be 90% of value shown.
Fixed-Field – 400 mm
Ø 17 mm spot size @ 35 mm focus
Ø 25 mm spot size @ 400 mm cutoff
†
 Using 18% gray test card: Cutoff 
distance will be 90% of value shown.
†
 Using 6% black test card: Cutoff 
distance will be 85% of value shown.
Fixed-Field – 600 mm
Ø 17 mm spot size @ 35 mm focus
Ø 30 mm spot size @ 600 mm cutoff
† 
Using 18% gray test card:  Cutoff 
distance will be 85% of value shown.
† 
Using 6% black test card: Cutoff 
distance will be 75% of value shown.

Performance based on use of a model BRT-3 retroreflector (3" diameter). 
Actual sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending on the 
efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector used.
