8.1.1 Performing one-point (DtO) teach
Distance to object (DtO) –
one-point teach
You can perform a one-point teach for the switching output Q1 and/or Q2.
Factory setting for Q1: DtO 10,000 mm.
For non-inverted behavior, teach in the switching point for Q1 near or for
Q2 near. For inverted behavior, teach in the switching point for Q1 far or for
Q2 far.
Be aware that a window teach is performed if you teach in switching points
for Q1 near and Q1 far or for Q2 near and Q2 far in one teach procedure.
→ See Page 29, Chapter 8.1.2.
In a distance below 50 mm, the switching behavior is dependent on
the signal quality.

Example: One-point teach is to be performed for the switching output Q1.
1. Position object at teach point 1.
2. Press and hold the select pushbutton for longer than 5 seconds. The
Q1 near LED lights up.
Press the set pushbutton.
If the teach was successful, the setting is applied immediately.

4. In order to leave teach mode, either press and hold the select
pushbutton longer than 5 seconds or wait 5 minutes without pressing
the pushbuttons.
