Alignment
Retroreflective/Polarized Retroreflective
Adjust the sensitivity to the maximum setting, by turning the
sensitivity potentiometer clockwise. Aim the sensor on the
reflector until the alignment indicator on the sensor turns On
(light operate) or Off (dark operate). To be certain that the
beam is centered, sweep the beam on the reflector in the
horizontal plane and determine the position the alignment
indicator turns On and then Off. Set the beam halfway
between both positions. Do the same in the vertical plane.
Break the beam with the object to be detected and check to
see if the alignment indicator turns Off. It may be necessary to
reduce the sensitivity or change to a smaller sized reflector to
detect small, translucent or transparent objects. Restore the
beam by removing the object and check to see if the
alignment indicator turns On again. For shiny objects angle
the sensor so that the beam is not perpendicular to the object.
For highly reflective materials use a polarized retroreflective
sensor.
Transmitted Beam
Adjust the sensitivity to the maximum setting, by turning the
sensitivity potentiometer clockwise. Aim the receiver at the
light source until the alignment indicator on the receiver turns
On (light operate) or Off (dark operate).
To be certain the beam is centered, sweep the beam across
the receiver in the horizontal plane and determine the position
the alignment indicator turns On and then Off. Set the beam
halfway between both positions. Do the same in the vertical
plane.
It may be necessary to reduce the sensitivity to a lower setting
for transparent or translucent materials or to detect objects
smaller than the effective beam.
Diffuse Modes (Including standard, extended range, wide
angle and fixed focus)
Adjust the sensitivity to the maximum setting by turning the
sensitivity potentiometer clockwise. Aim the sensor at the
object to be detected until the alignment indicator on the
control turns On (light operate) or Off (dark operate). To be
certain that the beam is centered, sweep the beam on the
object in the horizontal plane and determine the position the
alignment indicator turns On and then Off. Set the beam
halfway between both positions. Do the same in the vertical
plane. Remove the object to be detected from in front of the
sensor. If the sensor remains On reduce the sensitivity to
eliminate background signals. Restore the object being
detected and check if the output indicator turns On again. It
may be necessary to move the sensor closer to detect darker
or smaller objects.
