7.3 Sensing range setting
WTS26x-xxxxxx2xAxx with Teach-Turn adjustment:
The sensing range is adjusted by pressing the teach-in button (approx. 1-3seconds).
Depending on the requirements, the potentiometer can be used for fine-tuning (without
pressing the teach-in button).
Clockwise rotation: Sensing range increased
