Calibrating Sensor Head - Omron ZW-C1*AT User Manual

Calibrating Sensor Head

Calibrate the Sensor Head by obtaining the dark data in the no-incoming light status.
• When removing and inserting a fiber cable from/to the Sensor Controller (Including the initial connection).
• When extending a fiber cable.
The calibration data is stored inside the Sensor Controller. Therefore, if the sensor head is calibrated once, as
long as the fiber connection state does not change (if it is not disconnected from or connected to the Sensor
Controller or an extension added), this operation is not needed each time.
The Sensor Head should be calibrated without any object within the measuring range or with the tip of the
Sensor Head shielded from light with an object with diffuse reflection.
(Correct calibration is not possible with a transparent object, semi-transparent object, or mirror. )
