NOTE:

If temperature compensation is enabled, exposure to direct sunlight can affect the sensor’s

ability to accurately compensate for changes in temperature.

With temperature compensation enabled, the temperature warmup drift upon power-up is less

than 0.8% of the sensing distance. After 15 minutes, the apparent switchpoint will be within

0.5% of the actual position. After 30 minutes, the apparent switchpoint will be within 0.3% of

the actual position.

Switch 8: Factory Calibration

ON = Factory calibration only
OFF = Normal operation

Signal LED (Red) – Indicates the strength and condition of the sensor’s incoming signal

Signal LED Status

Indicates

ON Bright

Good signal

ON Dim

Marginal signal strength

OFF

No signal is received 2 or the target is beyond the sensor’s range limitations

Output LEDs (Amber or Red) – Indicate the position of the target, relative to the window limits

Output/Teach LED

Indicates

ON Red (Solid)

In Teach mode; waiting for first limit to be taught

ON Red (Flashing)

In Teach mode; waiting for second limit to be taught

ON Amber

Target is within window limits (normally open mode)

OFF

Target is outside window limits (normally open mode)

Power ON/OFF LED (Green) – Indicates the operating status of the sensor

Power ON/OFF LED

Indicates

OFF

Power is OFF

ON Solid

Sensor is operating normally

Flashing at 4 Hz

Output is overloaded (RUN mode)

Flashing at 2 Hz

Transmit disabled

2 If no signal is received, the output will react as if the target is beyond the far limit. In normally open mode, the outputs will be

OFF. In normally closed mode, the outputs will be ON.
