Sensing range setting
Sensor which it is not possible to set: The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
The sensitivity (sensing range) is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 5-turn). Clock‐
wise rotation: sensitivity (sensing range) increased; counterclockwise rotation: sensitiv‐
ity (sensing range) reduced. We recommend placing the object within the sensing
range, e.g. see figure 3. Once the sensitivity is set, remove the object from the beam
path. The switching output changes.
Table 3: Adjustment sensing range
The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.

LED indicator/fault pattern
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the light beam is
aligned to the object and the
object is within the set sensing
range
Yellow LED flashes
Cause
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Voltage interruptions
Sensor is faulty
Sensor is still ready for oper‐
ation, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
Measures
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam
of light (light spot) with the
