A displayed value of 

 indicates no light received or a loss of signal.

In Window Set teach mode, the value 100 represents the taught signal strength. The displayed value is the percentage of

the received light divided by the taught signal strength. The output switches at displayed values above and below 100 as

determined by the user-selected window offset percentage.

Output Indicator

On—Outputs conducting (closed)

Off—Outputs not conducting (open)

Stability Indicator (STB)

On—Stable light signal received

Flashing—Light intensity is within the switching threshold hysteresis band

Off—No light signal received

Active TEACH Indicators (DYN and WND)

DYN and WND off—Two-Point Static , Light Set, or Dark Set TEACH mode selected (Two-Point Static TEACH is the

default).

DYN and/or WND flashing—The sensor is in TEACH mode.

DYN on—Dynamic TEACH mode selected

WND on—Symmetric Window thresholds are active. The switch points are above and below 100 by the offset

percentage

Buttons

Use the sensor buttons (-)(MODE) and (+)(TEACH) to program the sensor.

See 

Sensor Programming
