Read these operating instructions carefully and follow the safety instructions! 1.2 Intended use The Baumer PosCon OXE7 sensor detects edges and outputs their position, distance, and center between edges. It was especially developed for easy handling, flexible use, and precise measurement. The red light laser ensures that the light beam is always visible, which makes sensor alignment easier and minimizes installation errors.

If there is no reference surface as a measuring level, the sensor should be aligned to the object. If the PosCon OXE7 sensor cannot be aligned at a right angle to the reference surface, the FLEX MOUNT function should be activated.
Angle deviations can affect measuring accuracy (see Section Alignment errors). To facilitate sensor alignment, LIVE MONITOR monitor can be used as an aid. LIVE MONITOR continuously outputs the currently measured angle and the distance from the reference surface. en_BA_PosCon_OXE7.docx 15/75 Baumer Electric AG 04.01.2021 15:33/adr V1.3 ANW_81125407 Frauenfeld, Switzerland...
