L-GAGE® LT7 Long-Range Time-of-Flight Sensor

Sensor Programming

The sensor may be programmed using either the on-board push buttons along with the

sensor’s LCD display, or via a serial interface. For serial interface instructions, see page

14. Sensor TEACH-mode instructions follow.
From Run mode, press Enter

ESC

to access Programming mode. If Password is set to

OFF (factory setting), the sensor will proceed to the Main menu (see Figure 7). When the

sensor enters Programming mode, several things occur:
• Sensor display lights up.

• Visible red Pilot laser turns ON.

• Measurement laser remains ON, alternating with the Pilot laser.

• Sensor proceeds to QuickSet on the Main menu (see Figure 7).
QuickSet: The received energy value is displayed in the form of a bar graph (the more

bars, the stronger the received signal). Outputs Q1 and Q2 are indicated as ON or OFF by

the LED indicators on the front of the sensor, and whether the “Q” is capitalized on the

display (Q1 = output 1 ON; q1 = output 1 OFF), press

ESC

to teach the current condition

to output Q1, and press

ESC

to teach the current condition to Q2. (Other Teach properties

are programmed in the Teach-In menu.) To quit the menu, use either the Enter button or

the Escape function.
Manual Adjust: After Teach-In and pressing Enter

ESC

to save, press

ESC

or

ESC

to

activate Manual Adjust (or Edit) mode for any output. The cursor flashes below the right-

hand digit of the display; press

ESC

or

ESC

to increase or decrease value by one unit.

Press

ESC

to save that digit and move cursor

to the next position left, and so on, until the

left-most digit is adjusted. Then press

ESC

to

adopt the manually adjusted value and switch

one menu level up.
Escape function: Press buttons

ESC

and

ESC

simultaneously to escape; sensor will go up

one menu level each time, and may not retain

new settings, depending on the programming

procedure.
