OUTPUT LED 

The red LED indicates the output status. 

READY LED 

During functioning, the green LED permanently ON indicates a normal 

operating condition; fast blinking indicates an output overload condition. 

See the “SETTING” paragraph for setup procedure indications. 

MARK / BKGD PUSHBUTTON 

The pushbutton activates the setup procedure. 

INSTALLATION

Operating distance is rated 

starting from the lens front face. 

The M12 connector or cable exit 

can be rotated in three positions 

by loosening the locking screw. 

Tighten the locking screw when 

finished. 

The beam direction may be 

changed swapping the cap and 

the lens. 

Detecting marks on a reflective surface is improved adjusting the beam 

direction to 5° … 20° from surface axis.

FUNCTION SELECTION 

When 

FORMAT

 is 

selected (configuration 

selector section 1), the 

MARK and BKGD 

puskbuttons are enabled and connecting the REMOTE inputs (TL

-xx1) 

to the power supply as shown in the table allows to select up to 4 

different settings (formats). This is the factory setting. 

If a non-set format is selected, the sensor is disabled and the green LED 

flashes at a low rate. 

A setting can be stored selecting a format and executing the procedure 

described in the “SETTING” paragraph. 
When 

SET

 is selected (configuration selector section 1), the MARK and 

BKGD pushbuttons are disabled; the REMOTE inputs (TL

-x1x) replace 

the pushbuttons functionality. 

Connecting the REMOTE A and B inputs to the positive power supply 

rail is equivalent to pressing the MARK and BKGD pushbuttons 

respectively. Connect the unused inputs to 0V. 

TIMING FUNCTION 

When ON is selected 

(configuration selector 

section 2), a delay timer 

function is enabled which 

extends the minimum ON 

output time to 20 ms. The factory setting is OFF (timer disabled). 

SETTING

A two-step setup procedure adjusts the switching threshold and the 

LIGHT/DARK mode. Using the procedure given below the sensor output 

is set to be ON when a mark is detected. 

1) Output ON state acquisition (MARK) 

Place the target mark into the emission spot and press the MARK 

pushbutton until the green LED turns OFF. 

Don’t move the mark during the setting phase (about 1 sec). 

2) Output OFF state acquisition (BKGD) 

Place the background into the emission spot and press the BKGD 

pushbutton; the green LED blinks once. 

Don’t move the background during the setting phase. 

If the green LED lights permanently ON, a safe operation has been 

obtained; if it flashes at a low rate the setup procedure has failed due to 

insufficient contrast; repeat the procedure from the beginning.
