„ Two-point tuning

„ Maximum sensitivity setting

For the reflection type sensor, adjust the sensitivity without using target. For the
transmission type sensor, adjust the sensitivity by using target.

„ Automatic tuning

If the setting does not work well, perform the two-point tuning.

„ Positioning tuning

„ Setting sensitivity

Quickly press

once, to set sensitivity to its maximum value.

Perform fine-tuning adjustments using

or

, or refer to the details on hold

display below.

„ Received light intensity monitor

The received light intensity monitor displays the amount of differentiation. Use hold
mode switching with hold display ON.

„ Output state

The values displayed on the calibration LED monitor can be changed by pressing

(to increase sensitivity) or

(to decrease sensitivity). This allows you to

fine-tune your setting values.

The display changes each time the

MODE button is pressed.

The received light intensity/excess gain hold display appears only after peak/
bottom hold is selected in the hold mode.

For more information about hold display, refer to "Mode Setting" (p. 6).
You cannot select the excess gain display when the standard light intensity is set.

z Setting value display

Displays setting value.

z Received light intensity display

Displays received light intensity.

z Excess gain display

Shows the received light intensity as a percentage of the setting value (setting
value = 100%).
This display cannot be shown when the standard light intensity display is
selected.

Sensitivity Adjustment

1

With no target in place, press the

button lightly.

2

Put a target in place and press the

button again lightly.

1

According to the directions on the
left, press the

button for 3

seconds or more.

2

Confirm that the calibration indicator
(orange LED) and setting monitor
(green LED) are flashing.

3

Release the

button.

1

Pass a target through the optical
axis while pressing the

button.

2

Confirm that the calibration indicator
(orange LED) and setting monitor
(green LED) are flashing.

3

Release the

button.

1

With no target in place, press the

button lightly (orange LED lights
up).

2

Place a target in the position where
it should stop.

3

Press the

button for 3 seconds or

more until the calibration indicator
(orange LED) and setting monitor
(green LED) are flashing.

Differentiation Mode Detection (UP/DOWN edge)
Detects only sudden changes in received light intensity within a
certain time interval.

UP edge detection

: Output is turned ON when light intensity

increases by more than the setting value
within a fixed time interval.

DOWN edge detection: Output is turned ON when light intensity

decreases by more than the setting value
within a fixed time interval.

To achieve stable detection in differentiation mode, changes in
received light intensity resulting from the presence or absence of the
target must be greater than the changes in received light intensity
resulting from dust or vibration.

Fine Adjustment of Setting Values

If you press the

button accidentally while performing a fine

adjustment of your setting values, a sensitivity calibration will
start automatically and prevent you from continuing your fine
adjustment until the calibration is completed. If this happens,
press the

button again to cancel the setting and start your

fine adjustment again.
The value may not change by 1 digit during fine-tuning
adjustments. This is not a malfunction.

Selecting Display Modes

The displayed value for excess gain is 0 when the excess gain is
less than 1%.
