beam: distance between the
emitter and receiver of fiber unit,
diffuse reflective: distance to the
object) is set too far.
• The light axis is misaligned.
(With a through-beam fiber
unit.)
• Clean the dirt without damaging
the tip.
• Review the distance and
environment of installation and
adjust the light axis.
