Set range button and discrete output:

Pressing and holding the Set range button 
(button B) for 5 seconds will set the range 
limit at the laser termination point. To teach 
this termination point, simply place an object 
in front of the sensor at the desired distance 
before pressing and holding button (B). When 
an object terminates the laser at this position 
or closer to the unit, the indicator light will turn 
green and the discrete output will become 
high. The discrete output is 

NPN

 which 

completes the ground in the circuit. The max 
current through this output is 400 mA  and the 
maximum voltage is 36V. The receiving 
device must share a common ground with the 
C1-002.

Units:

Pressing the Unit button (button B) until the 
distance on the display goes blank and then 
releasing will toggle the units displayed on the 
screen between inches and millimeters. 

      

**NOTE** Changing the units will 

only

 change the 

units displayed on the screen, the units output 
through serial will remain in millimeters to maintain 
consistency in PLC or PC programming.

Modes:

Pressing and holding the mode button (button A) 
until the screen displays the next mode will toggle 
between distance sensor and part counter modes.

Zero Counter:

Pressing and releasing the zero counter button 
(button A) while in counter mode will reset the 
counter to zero.

Timing budget speed:

The C1-002 has three speed modes that can be 
toggled by pressing and holding the (A) and (B) 
buttons simultaneously. The unit is programmed 
by default to fast mode.

** NOTE Speed mode only applies to the distance sensor 
mode. Parts counter mode is always in fast mode.

Slow mode

 

will take longer to display and output 

the distance but has the most accurate 
measurement and the highest tolerance to 
undesirable lighting situations.

Medium mode 

reacts reasonably fast and is 

somewhat tolerant to undesirable lighting. 

Fast mode 

has the fastest reaction time but is the 

least tolerant of undesirable lighting.
