If several through-beam photoelectric sensors which are installed next to one another
are to be used, we recommend swapping the sender/receiver arrangement at every
second through-beam photoelectric sensor and ensuring that there is sufficient dis‐
tance between the through-beam photoelectric sensors. By doing this, mutual interfer‐
ence can be prevented [see

Sensitivity setting
Sensor which it is not possible to set: The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
Refer to graphic to check the function. If the switching output fails to behave in accord‐
ance with graphic, check application conditions. See section Fault diagnosis.
Sensor with potentiometer (without IO Link):
The sensitivity is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 270°). Clockwise rotation:
operating reserve increased; counterclockwise rotation: operating reserve reduced. We
recommend setting the potentiometer to "Maximum".
