Teaching a Reflective Fiber Unit without a Workpiece piece A value about 6% greater than the incident light level can be set as the threshold value. This method is ideal when using a Reflective A value about 6% less than the incident light level can be set as the Fiber Unit to detect workpieces so that detection is not influenced to threshold value.
