    5.1 Wiring p-switching (type ...FPKG... or ...FPOG...) BN = brown, BK = black, BU = blue n-switching (type ...FNKG... or ...FNOG...) BN = brown, BK = black, BU = blue 5.2 Unit versions with auto-detect On power up, unit types with auto-detect (types ...FAKG or ...FAOG...) detect automatically if the output is connected to L- (p switching) or to L+ (n switching).

    6 Operating and display elements 1: programming buttons 2: sensing face 7 Settings 7.1 Basic teach empty state Using the basic teach empty state the unit suppresses the installation environ- ment. The basic teach empty state resets the unit, an adjustment teach already carried out is deleted.
  • Page 11: Adjustment Teach Full State

    7.2 Adjustment teach full state Necessary for aqueous media. The sensitivity of the unit is optimised. Later on, the adjustment teach full state can be repeated at any time, an adjustment teach empty state already carried out is not affected. A basic teach empty state must be carried out prior to the adjustment teach full state (→...
  • Page 12: Modified Basic Teach Empty State

    7.3 Modified basic teach empty state Recommended for deposits in the tank. Deposits are largely suppressed. This is also recommended if it has not been possible to carry out a basic teach empty state (e.g. if the sensor is set up on a full tank; details: → chapter 7 Adjustment teach full state) Later on, the modified basic teach empty state can be repeated at any time, an adjustment teach full state already carried out is not affected.
  • Page 13: Locking / Unlocking

    7.4 Locking / unlocking The unit can be electronically locked to protect it against unintentional setting. ► To lock press [ OUT ON] and [OUT OFF] simulta- neously for 10 s. > Acknowledgement: LED state (yellow) changes for a short time (the lit LED goes out briefly or the LED which is not lit lights briefly).
  • Page 14: Terms

    11 Terms Active zone Area above the sensing face in which the sensor reacts to the approach of the target. Output function Normally open: object within the active zone - output switched. Normally closed: object within the active zone - output blocked. Programmable: Choice between normally closed or normally open.
