TEACH MODE
Depending on the model, one or more Teach modes, tailored to
allow different applications, are available on the sensor (see Set-
tings paragraph).
The selection of the desired teach mode and adjustment of the sen-
sor is performed by pressing the TEACH (T) button and observing the
green LED behavior; each time the LED toggles a new teach mode
is selected.
Once a teach mode is selected, it may be confirmed by releasing the
TEACH button within 3s from selection. Otherwise, if the TEACH
button is held for more than 3s after teach mode selection, the teach
mode is discarded and next one (if available) is selected.
Holding the TEACH button until last available teach mode is discar-
ded will result in factory reset.
In case of error during the teach procedure (e.g. trying to perform
teach outside the operating range), the yellow LED will flash an error
status. The error can be canceled by pushing and releasing the teach
button. The sensor is reverted to the previous status before the error.
TEACH CONTROLS
Teach Button (Not available for G03 model)
Teach Button can be used to change the L/D function of the sensor,
or to execute different teach modes.
U.I Interaction
The green LED toggles to indicate advancement of the procedure to
next step.
Error Indicator
The yellow LED may flash in the event of a teach error.

Position the sensor and reflector on opposite sides of the desired
sensing range, and execute the desired Teach Procedure.
Teach1 (Standard Teach): the sensor is set up in order to use the
maximum allowable signal reserve.
Teach 2 (Maximum Sensitivity): the sensor is configured at maxi-
mum sensitivity. Use this when performing sensor alignment.
Teach 3 (Toggle L/D behavior): sensor behavior toggles between
Light ON and Dark ON modes.
Settings through IO-Link: the above teach procedures may also be
initiated through IO-Link. Furthermore, fine regulation of sensitivity
can be performed by changing sensitivity parameters.

Position the emitter and receiver on opposite sides of the desired
sensing range. Once the position of the receiver is defined (F03),
adjust the direction of the transmitter (G03) in the middle of the
angular sensing range. To perform this procedure: find the angles
where the yellow LED (OUT) is switched ON and OFF in both vertical
and horizontal directions, then fix the emitter in the center between
these angles. Execute the desired Teach Procedure among those
