Status LED
The receiver has a bright Status LED that indicates overall sensing status (OK, marginal alignment, and hardware error). Two
other LEDs indicate whether communication is active or if there is an error. Seven Zone indicators each communicate the
blocked/aligned status of one-seventh of the total array. A 3-digit diagnostic display provides further diagnostic information:
number of beams blocked, whether blanking is configured, and error codes. (See
codes.)

2.3.1 Zone Indicators (Beams Blocked Segment)

Seven LEDs represent emitter/receiver alignment status. They provide a visual aid for sensor alignment and monitoring
objects within the sensor's field of view. The sensor array is partitioned into seven equal segments, each of which is
represented by one of the seven LEDs. The LED closest to DIP switch S6 (see
Interface on p. 8) represents the group of optical channels closest to the receiver display (the "bottom" group). The LED
closest to DIP switch 1 represents the far segment of channels.
These LEDs illuminate either green or red. When an LED is green, no unblanked beams are obstructed in that segment.
When the LED is red, one or more beams in that segment is obstructed.

2.3.2 Three-Digit Display

The 3-digit display has slightly different functions during normal operation, alignment, and gain adjust modes. In normal
operation the display indicates the current numerical value of measurement mode 1. The display also identifies the following
activated sensor functions: blanking and locked-out user interface/electronic configuration, as shown in
Configuration Indicator on p. 6.
For directions for inverting the display, see
Configuration via DIP Switch or IO-Link v1.1 Interface
During blanking mode, the display reads "n", followed by the number of blocked beams in the array. During alignment mode,
it reads "A", followed by the number of blocked, unblanked beams; a period follows the A ("A.") if blanking is configured.
During gain adjust mode, the display reads "
gain, and a "2" represents low contrast.)
If a sensing error occurs, the display reads "c" followed by a number that corresponds to the recommended corrective action.
Refer to Error Codes on p. 26 for more information.

2.3.3 Blanking Indicator

The Blanking indicator will be visible (ON) when the blanking feature is enabled. It appears as a period following the first digit
of the display.

2.3.4 Electronic Configuration Indicator

The Electronic Configuration indicator is on when the sensor configuration is defined by the IO-Link v1.1 interface and not the
DIP switch. When electronic configuration is enabled, the DIP switch is ignored.
