Setting item Factory setting Description
Shift setting mode
Shift amount can be selected from 0 to 80% in the limit teaching.
Select 0% when it is desired to set the present incident light intensity as a
threshold value.
Externalinput
setting mode
Externalinput canbe selectedfromemissionhalt, limitteaching[+],limit
teaching [-], full-auto teaching, ECO (Note 1), 2-point teaching or emission
amount test.
When setting the incident light intensity test “ ”, output turns ON / OFF
every 100ms when the rate of incident light intensity and threshold value is less
thanhalfofthesetshiftamount(forexample,whentherateofincidentlightinten-
sityandthresholdvalueiswithin±10%for20%ofshiftamount)atexternalinput.
Threshold value-
storing setting mode
(Note 2)
Threshold value set at the limit teaching, full-auto teaching or 2-point teach-
ingbyexternalinputisstored.WhenselectingAutointheemissionamount
setting mode, the set emission amount level is also stored.
Threshold value
follow-up cycle setting
mode (Note 3)
Whenincidentlightintensityexceedsthreshold value,this modecan changethe
threshold value with each set cycle depending on variations of the incident light in-
tensity. The follow-up shift amount is same as the one set in the shift setting mode.
However, the threshold value is not stored.
GETA function setting
mode (Note 4, 5)
Variations can be reduced by correcting the present incident light intensity in
eachampliertoatargetvalue.Targetvaluetooffsetincidentlightintensity
can be selected from 0 to 2,000 by 100 unit each.
Forexample,ifthetargetvalueissetto2,000whentheincidentlightinten-
sity is 1,500, the incident light intensity becomes 2,000.
ECO setting mode
It is possible to light up / turn off the digital display. When ECO setting mode
isON,thedisplayturnsoffinapprox.20sec.inRUNmode.Tolightupthe
display again, press any key for 2 sec. or more.
Inverting digital
display setting mode
Digital display can be inverted.
Threshold value
margin setting mode
Margin for threshold value to the present incident light intensity can be checked.
When there is no margin, it is possible to make the digital display blink.
“ ” : Green blinks.
“ ”: : Red blinks.
“ ” : Red and Green blink.
“
” : Whenconductinglimitteachingor2-pointteachingbyexternalinput,
in case the rate of reference incident light intensity and threshold
value after teaching is 200% or more, or in case it is less than half of
the shift amount, output turns ON / OFF every 100ms. (Note 6)
Setting copy mode
Thesettingsof themaster sideamplier canbe copiedto theslave side
amplier.Fordetails,referto“
SETTING COPY FUNCTION.”
Reset mode
Returns to default settings (factory settings).
Notes: 1) WhenECOisselected attheexternalinputsetting mode,key operationon themainbodyisinvalid during
externalinput.
2) This mode is not indicated unless any of
“ ”, “ ”, “ ” or “ ” isset atthe externalinput
setting mode.
3) If the incident light intensity becomes “300” or less, the follow-up operation stops.
In that condition, threshold value [digital display (green)] blinks.
  Thisfunctioncanbeusedwhenthru-beamtypeorretroreectivetypeberisappliedtothisproduct.Ifreec-
tivetypeberisapplied,thefunctioncannotbeuseddependingonuseconditions.
4) If pressing MODE key in RUN mode when GETA function is used, the incident light intensity before setting
GETAfunctionisdisplayedonthereddigitaldisplayforapprox.2sec.
5) When GETA function is used in saturation of incident light intensity (4,000 or more), “ ” is indicated on
the red digital display. Correction value is up to 4,000.)
6) This mode does not operate unless any of “ ”, “ ” or “ ” isset atthe externalinputsetting
mode.

● WhenselectingECOintheexternalinputsettingmode,keyoperationonthemain
bodyisinvalidduringexternalinput.
● Whenselecting2-pointteachingintheexternalinput settingmode,“

catedonthegreendigitaldisplayafterinputtingtherstpoint.
● Forthesettingofexternalinput,referto“

10 SETTING COPY FUNCTION
● Thiscancopythesettingsofthemastersideampliertotheslavesideamplier.
● Be sure to use the setting copy function between the identical models. This func-
tion cannot be used between different models.
● Only one sensor can be connected on slave side with a master side sensor for the setting copy function.
● Threshold value, output operation setting, timer operation setting, timer setting, emission
amountsetting,shiftsetting,externalinput setting,thresholdvalue-storingsetting,ECO
setting, inverting digital display setting, and threshold value margin setting can be copied.
Setting procedures
1. Setthesettingcopymodeofthemastersideamplierto“CopysendingON,”andpress
MODE key so that “
” is shown on the digital display and the sensor is in copy
ready state. For the setting method, refer to <Setting copy mode> in “
PRO MODE.”
2. Turnoffthemastersideamplier.
3. Connectthemastersideamplierwiththeslavesideamplierasshownbelow.
