Operating options Soliwave FQR56/FDR56 Operating options 7�1 Overview 7�1�1 FDR56 transceiver The microwave barrier is configured on the FDR56 using a function selection switch (encoding switch) and two operating buttons. With these, among other think, the adjustment of the sensitivity is carried out for clear and unambiguous limit detection of the products. The parameter configuration is stored internally and is retained even after the supply voltage is disconnected. No other operator intervention is necessary during operation. The adjustment to the process conditions only needs to be performed during initial installation.
