6.1 Distance Mode
Distance mode utilizes the sensor's colored LEDs to proportionally display an object's distance from the face of the sensor.
Application examples:
•
Vehicle position feedback
•
Object distance tracking
•
Monitoring fill level
•
Indicating when an object is within a specific warning zone
To select Distance mode, select
Distance
from the
Device Logic
menu on the
Indication
tab.
Use the options to set the sensor animation and color(s) for when an object is within the sensing window, out of the sensing
window, and when no object is found.

First, define the
Distance Settings
. The
Distance Setting
is the user-defined distance that the LEDs will proportionally
change from.
Switch Point 1
and
Switch Point 2
must be within the sensing range.
Next, define the
Near Detection
,
Sensing Window
,
Far Detection
, and
Loss of Signal
states. Multiple distance states are
available to change color, flashing, and intensity as the input distance value changes based on the defined
Distance
Settings
. For more information on each state, click
Distance States
under
Device Logic
