Executing the Light Source Reference
This adjustment is at least necessary once after mounting and a warm-up time of 30 min but can also
be repeated very often in case of elevated accuracy requirements.
There must not be any object between the light source and the receiver when executing the light
correction.
Press the light source reference via the menu Video signal > Light source reference >
button Start light source reference.
Press respectively once the Stop and Start buttons if the diagram does not start again
automatically.
Aligning the Target
Align the target in the measuring distance chosen to the receiver, as centrally as possible in the
measuring range.
If the edge to be measured has a large thickness, the latter has to be aligned exactly parallel to the
laser beam.
Controlling the Video Signal
Open the menu Video signal and check it.
The edges to be measured have to cross the detection threshold. Should a transparent measuring
target should be measured, you can increase the detection threshold which can consequently
influence the linearity.
Controlling the Measurement
Open the menu Measurement and check the timing diagram of measurement.
You can select further data fort he display in the measurement programs Diameter, Gap and
Segment e.g. single edges or center axes.
You can also quickly modify averaging settings and observe their effects on this site.
Save Settings
Save the current settings in the receiver with a setup.
Otherwise the settings will be lost by switching-off.
Read the detailed instruction manual before using the sensor.The manual is available online on
