A current sinking (NPN) device capable 
of 
sinking at least 10 rnA must 
be 
used to stimulate the signal inputs. 
The 
internal circuitry for the 
Nordson photosensor is pre-wired to include the required NPN 
switching element. Figure

The 
occure
nc
e 
of 
unwanted trigger signals can 
be 
reduced 
by 
following 
these recommendat
io
ns: 
•  Avoid routing sensor wires near 
AC 
power lines, solenoid output 
lines, 
or 
other electrical devices (i.e., motors, contactors, relays, 
etc.) that 
may 
cause electrical interference. Especially avoid 
routing wires in troughs 
or 
conduits with other high 
current-carrying conductors. 
•  Make sure that no objects other than the substrate pass between 
the sensor and substrate during line operation. 
•  Mount the sensors within the recommended distance range 
of 
the 
substrate.
