30 / 76 page 25 Application Notes—Photoconductive Cells Factoring in the power outputs of the LEDs, in this case at a forward drive current of 10 ma, coupling factors (matching factor multiplied by power output) for the various LED/material type combinations can be generated. Normalized LED/Photocell Coupling Factors @ 10 mA Once gain, this data is intended as a general guide. LED power outputs can vary 5:1 between manufacturer lots. APPLICATION NOTE #5 Assembly Precautions When soldering the cell leads take all measures possible to limit the amount of heating to the photocell. The maximum recommended soldering temperature is 250°C with a solder duration of 5 seconds. Heat sink the LEDs if possible. Keep soldering iron 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) minimum from base of package when soldering. Avoid chemicals which can cause metal corrosion. Do not clean the plastic coated cells with organic solvents (ketone types). Check with factory for specific cleaning recommendations. Finally refrain from storing the cells under high temperature and/or humidity conditions. If cells are stored in the dark for any length of time please “light adept” before testing (see section on Light History Effect). Storage in the dark will change both the sensitivity and decay time of the cell. APPLICATION NOTE #6 A Low Cost Light Source for Measuring Photocells The Light Source used in the measurement of photocell resistance must be characterized for intensity and spectral composition. PerkinElmer uses a tungsten filament lamp having a spectral output approximating a black body @ 2850 K with a known candlepower output at a specified voltage and current. While calibrated lamps of this type are available from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (formerly NBS) and private testing labs, a low cost alternative is to use a 100 W, inside frosted, tungsten filament lamp available from any home or hardware store. Such a lamp operated at 120 VAC will produce approximately 90 candlepower (cp) of illumination and a color temperature of 2700 K to 2800 K. The relationship between candlepower and footcandle is: Since this equation assumes a point source of light, the distance between lamp and detector should be at least five times the lamp diameter. There are some characteristics of incandescent lamps which should be noted: 1. Color temperature increases with increasing wattage. 2. When operated at a constant current, light output rises with time.
