SET

Output

ON

Condition

• Position luminescent target in front of

sensing lens.

• Press Mark push button (approx. 4 sec.)

until green Ready LED turns OFF.

Green Ready LED: turns OFF

Red Output LED: OFF
Green Ready LED stays OFF, and

sensor stores the Output ON condition.

SET

Output

OFF

Condition

• Remove luminescent target from

sensor’s field of view.

• Press and hold Background push button

(approx. 4 sec.) until green blinks.

Programming Accepted

Green Ready LED: Flashes 1x, then ON

Red Output LED: OFF

Green Ready LED stays ON, and

sensor stores the Output OFF

(background) condition.

Programming Error

(Due to insufficient contrast between

target and background luminescence)

Green Ready LED: flashes slowly (approx. 2 Hz)
Repeat programming procedure from the beginning.

If programming fails again, increase the target luminescence or

subdue the background.

Sensor Configuration

In this simple two-step procedure, the sensor samples the luminescence levels of

both the target (Mark) and the background (Background) conditions. The sensor

automatically selects light operate or dark operate (see Figure 3) based on the relative

luminescence of the two conditions. Using the procedure described below, sensing

the more luminescent condition (in this case the target to be sensed) will close the

normally open output, turn on the red Output LED, and cause the output to conduct

current (light operate).
If the application requires the output to conduct for a less luminescent condition,

reverse the procedure (dark operate):

• Present the less luminescent condition first (Mark push button) and then

• Present the more luminescent condition (Background push button).
