Adjustment Aid; Setting Of The Sensitivity With Stationary Objects - IFM Electronic Efector 200 OG Series Operating Instructions Manual

Mount the unit so that the mounting position cannot change (in
particular avoid high vibrations!). Laser units with a very small
light spot diameter are highly focussed; the slightest change in
the mounting position will result in misalignment.

Adjustment aid

For the alignment the transmitter incorporates an adjustment aid.
After pressing the setting button on the transmitter the red LED flash-
es, then the green LED and the yellow LED flash alternately. The inten-
sity of the transmitted light is increased and the light spot is clearly vis-
ible. After pressing the button again the green LED is on again and the
transmitted light is set again to normal intensity.
If the button is not pressed again, the transmitted light is set to nor-
mal intensity after about 15 min.
NB: Commissioning
The through-beam sensor is supplied ready to operate (plug and play)
set at the max. sensing range. This is sufficient if the through-beam
sensor can operate with maximum excess gain (highest contrast). The
following setting procedures should only be necessary in less straight-
forward applications, for example if partly transparent objects must be
detected.

Setting of the sensitivity with stationary objects

Activate the programming mode of the unit.
