INFORMATION
When teaching in, if there is no object or the object is too far from the sensor, the switching distance is
set to the end of the setting range. The Power LED lights up yellow, and the switching status LEDs for the
respective switching output flash twice. The same applies to an object that is too close; here, the switch-
ing distance is set to the start of the setting range. If there is an error during teach-in preventing it from be-
ing carried out, this is indicated by a red LED.
