2. For Your Safety 2.1. Use for Intended Purpose The spectral composition of the colors of objects can be measured and analyzed with the P1XF001 6-band Multi-Spectral Sensor. Innovative color chip technology divides the selected color spectrum into six spectral ranges (ROYGBV color space) with separately adjustable tolerance ranges.
2.3. Personnel Qualifications • Suitable technical training is a prerequisite. • In-house electronics training is required. • Trained personnel must have uninterrupted access to the operating instructions. WARNING! Risk of personal injury or property damage in case of incorrect initial start-up and maintenance! Personal injury and damage to equipment may occur.

7.9. On-Delay Function Description On-Delay Setting of On-Delay A1 Switch By pressing the “+” or “–” button, a On-Delay from 0 ms to 10000 ms can be On-Delay set. The On-Delay is an adjustable extension of the response time. 10 ms Keep the button pressed to achieve larger jumps in value.
The switching thresholds can be set manually via IO-Link or via the RS-232 port, for example with the help of wenglor’s wTeach configuration software. The software can be downloaded free of charge at: www.wenglor. com → Product World → Search (Enter the product number) → Download...
7.12.1. Thresholds in the Detection operating mode In the “Detection” operating mode, an upper and a lower threshold can be set for each individual hue, for sa- turation and for brightness. And thus a separate window width is possible for each channel. Switching points: The following switching points are calculated on the basis of the measured value during Teach-In: Hoff...
