7.1 Alignment
Align the sensor with a suitable reflector. Select the position so that the red emitted
li
ght beam hits the center of the reflector. The sensor must have a clear view of the
reflector, with no object in the path of the beam [see figure 1]. You must ensure that the
optical openings of the sensor and reflector are completely clear.
Figure 1: Alignment
7.2 Sensing range
Adjust the distance between the sensor and the reflector according to the correspond‐
in
g diagram [see figure 2] (x = sensing range, y = operating reserve).
After alignment is complete, move a non-transparent object into the path of the beam.
Use table 2 to check the function. If the switching output fails to behave in accordance
with table 2, check the application conditions.
