Position tuning When confused, or to restore the default setting (max. sensitivity) For diffuse-scan detection at any desired specific position, use position tuning. (The positioning accuracy is 15 % at maximum.) If you wish to restore the factory default sensitivity, or if you lose track of your progress while making adjustments, do the following to restore the factory default from any flashing status.

Retroreflective transparent object detection Tips for using the HP7-C retroreflective transparent object detection model Reflector Use the switch in combination with the specified reflector. Detectable objects Objects should block 10 % or more of the light. Setup method After adjusting the light axis, tune without a workpiece (not using a target object). The switch will be automatically set to the optimum sensitivity for detecting transparent objects.
HANDLING Warning Designed for general industrial use, not for safety equipment. Do not connect this device to AC power. Doing so might cause rupture or burnout. Handling precautions Wiring precautions • • If a cable extension is necessary, use wire at least 0.3 mm Tighten the mounting screws to a maximum torque of 0.8 N·m.
