Notes: 1) When selecting Auto (displayed with “

decided when only the limit teaching is set. (“

In Auto, emission amount is automatically set to let the incident light intensity in proper range (1000 to 3800).
2) The operation indicator and the beam-emitting inlet blink while setting emission frequency. (When emission
frequency 0 is set, they light up.) The blinking cycle depends on each emission frequency.

Setting item Factory setting Description
Teaching mode
Threshold value can be set in 2-point teaching, limit teaching or full-auto
teaching.
For details, refer to “
TEACHING MODE.”
Output operation
setting mode
Light-ON or Dark-ON can be set.
Timer operation
setting mode
Without timer, ON delay timer or OFF delay timer can be set.
Timer delays setting
mode
When setting ON delay timer or OFF delay timer in the timer operation set-
ting mode, timer delays can be set.
● When timer is not set, this mode is not displayed.
Emission amount
setting mode
In case incident light intensity is saturated, emission amount can be re-
duced. The reduced intensity state can also be released.

Whenusing theber headsinparallel, interferencecan bepreventedby
setting different emission frequency. However, when emission frequency 0 is
set, interference cannot be prevented. Response time corresponds to emis-
sion frequency. For details, refer to “
SPECIFICATIONS.”
7 TEACHING MODE
Make sure that detection may become unstable if less margin is applied in the use
environment when teaching.
In case of 2-point teaching
● This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching two points, corre-
sponding to object present and object absent conditions. Normally, setting is done
by this method.
● TheoutputoperationsettingofLight-ONorDark-ONisreectedautomatically.

In case of limit teaching
● This is the method of setting the threshold value by teaching only the object absent
condition (stable incident light condition). This is used for detection in the presence of
a background body or for detection of small objects.
● When selecting “Auto” (displayed with “ ”) in the emission amount setting mode, proper light
intensity can be automatically set. For the setting method, refer to “
SETTING MODE.”
