The ColorSight™ 45CLR is a self-contained color detection sensor
with three PNP output channels. This sensor utilizes a single white
LED light source with three available spot size models for full color
spectrum detection and maximum application flexibility.

The 45CLR ColorSight can be set up to detect:

y A single color per channel with adjustable tolerance
y Scan an area of various colors on the same surface
y Detect multiple individual colors per channel

y Wide sensing range tolerance
y Three channel color matching (three outputs)
y Gating input (Also known as inhibiting input)
y Adjustable tolerance for high precision to general color matching
y Optional pulse stretching (50 ms)
y Teach colors via pushbuttons
y External teach capability
y Teach button lockout
y 270° rotatable connector
y IP 67 enclosure

The control input (pin 5) can be used to lock the ColorSight
pushbuttons by connecting it to the +DC (18…28V DC). When
working with the sensor in remote teach, we recommend the use of
pushbutton lockout to prevent accidental tampering of the
configuration.

Percentage of Color Detection vs. Sensing Range

Sensor Alignment

Position the 45CLR sensor so that the distance from the object to
the sensor will be within the sensing range. Extremely shiny or
reflective surfaces can distort the color detection This sensor should
be mounted at an angle of 10...30°, as shown below.
