The LED that lights up red indicates the currently set focus position on the prod‐
uct.
✓
The LED that lights up blue indicates the working distance at which the product is
mounted.
3. Attach the focus adjustment tool to the optics.
4. To align the focus position to the adjusted working distance, rotate the focus
adjustment tool with a maximum tightening torque of 60Ncm.
°
To align the focus position with a larger working distance, rotate the focus
adjustment tool in the clockwise direction.
°
To align the focus position with a smaller working distance, rotate the focus
adjustment tool in the counterclockwise direction.
✓
As the tool is rotated, the red LED continuously indicates the current focus posi‐
tion.
✓
When the LED of the set working distance lights up green, the focus position is
aligned with the working distance.
5. Check the focus position again when commissioning the device using the SOPAS
ET configuration software. If necessary, adjust the focus setting manually using
the focus adjustment tool.
NOTE
The working distance that the product measures using the time-of-flight sensor is dis‐
played in SOPAS ET in the ToF distance (mm) parameter. The currently set focus position is
displayed in SOPAS ET in the Focus position (mm) parameter.
