Thru-scan and retroreflective models
Press the button once to revert 
to normal operation at the 
pre-tuning sensitivity. Adjust the 
light axis and then repeat the 
tuning procedure.
Thru-scan models
Press the button once to revert to 
normal operation at the pre-tuning 
sensitivity. Reduce the amount of light 
by using slits or tilting the optical axis, 
and then repeat the tuning procedure.
Thru-scan and retroreflective 
models
Press the button once to revert to 
normal operation based on the tuning 
results. Adjust the light axis and then 
repeat the tuning procedure.
Thru-scan, retroreflective, and 
diffuse-scan models
Press the button once to revert 
to normal operation based on 
the tuning results. Check 
operation before use.
Press the button once to revert to 
normal operation at the pre-tuning 
sensitivity.
Thru-scan and retroreflective models
Adjust the light axis and then 
repeat the tuning procedure.
Diffuse-scan models
Move the switch closer to the target to 
boost the reflected light intensity and 
then repeat the tuning procedure.
Press the button once to revert to 
normal operation based on the 
tuning results. Use a workpiece to 
verify that the  switch works properly. 
Thru-scan models
Reduce the amount of light by 
mounting slits or tilting the 
optical axis, and then repeat the 
tuning procedure.
Diffuse-scan models
Minimize the reflected light by 
painting the background black, and 
then repeat the tuning procedure.

Indicator lamp flashes repeatedly
The table below lists the various states indicated by repeated flashing 
together with suggested responses. If the problem is not resolved, it 
may be necessary to try a different model of switch.
Hold down the button for about 2 seconds until the 
orange indicator lamp starts flashing rapidly (at
about 10 Hz), then release.
With the target in position, hold down the button 
for about 2 seconds until both indicator lamps 
start flashing rapidly (at about 10 Hz), then release.
Press the button briefly.

 procedure as described under Indicator lamp flashes repeatedly.
Now press the button again briefly.
Both indicator lamps will flash slowly
(at about 1 Hz).*

For diffuse-scan detection at any desired specific position, use 
position tuning. (The positioning accuracy is 15 % at maximum.)
When confused, or to restore the default 
setting (max. sensitivity)
If you wish to restore the factory default sensitivity, or if you lose track 
of your progress while making adjustments, do the following to 
restore the factory default from any flashing status.
