1. Set the operation mode switch to the Light-ON mode position (L
side).
2. Place the emitter and the receiver face to face along a straight
line, move the emitter in the up, down, left and right directions, in
order to determine the range of the light received condition with
the help of the operation indicator (orange). Then, set the emit-
ter at the center of this range.
3. Similarly, adjust for up, down, left and right angular movement of
the emitter.
4. Further, perform the angular adjust-
ment for the receiver also.
5. Check that the stability indicator
(green) lights up.
6. Choose the operation mode, Light-
ON or Dark-ON, as per your re-
quirement, with the operation mode
switch.
1. Set the operation mode switch to the Light-ON mode position (L
side).
2. Placing the sensor and the reflector face to face along a straight
line, move the reflector in the up, down, left and right directions,
in order to determine the range of the light received condition
with the help of the operation indicator (orange). Then, set the
reflector at the center of this range.
3. Similarly, adjust for up, down, left and right angular movement
of the reflector.
4. Further, perform the angular adjustment for the sensor also.
5. Check that the stability indicator
(green) lights up.
6.
Choose the operation mode,
Light-ON or Dark-ON, as per your
requirement, with the operation
mode switch.

Operation mode switch
Description
Light-ON mode is obtained when the
operation mode switch (thru-beam type in-
corporate it in the receiver ) is turned fully
clockwise (L side).
Dark-ON mode is obtained when the opera-
tion mode switch (thru-beam type incorpo-
rate it in the receiver ) is turned fully counter
-
clockwise (D side).
