SETTING 

 
 

Sensor setting 

1) Place the label or the mark to read in the sensor slot using the 

reference marks on the tip for alignment. 

2) Press and hold the AUTO SET pushbutton till the green READY LED 

turns OFF, this starts the acquisition phase of the object to read 
which must not be removed till the green LED lights on again. 

3) When the green READY LED blinks, put the label support or the 

mark background in the sensor slot using the reference marks on the 
tip for alignment. 

4) Press and hold the AUTO SET pushbutton till green READY LED 

turns OFF, this starts the acquisition phase of the object to read 
which must not be removed till the green LED blinks. 

5) The green READY LED continuously ON indicates the setting is 

completed and the sensor is ready. 

 
 

Error messages 

  Alternate blinking of the green READY LED and the red ERROR 

LED indicates that the contrast between the label/support or 
mark/background is insufficient, or that the setting is incorrect. 

Repeat the sensor setting operation. 

  The red ERROR LED blinking indicates the output is in protection 

mode because of a short circuit. As soon as the cause of the short 
circuit is removed, the output reactivates and red LED turns OFF. 

 The red ERROR LED continuously ON indicates the sensor is 

damaged and must be replaced.
