• Normal communications with E3X
• Communications errors with E3X
• Number of Sensors that can communicate
• Switching method for setting number of Sensors connected
• Number of Sensors connected
• Adjusting the maximum sensitive
• Teaching one point
• Teaching the first point for two-point teaching
