1-point teaching in window comparator and hysteresis mode

With this method, you set the threshold range by setting the shift amount 
to the desired value and measuring the incident light intensity once. The 
shift amount will be added to the incident light intensity to provide the upper 
threshold respectively subtracted from the incident light intensity to provide 
the lower threshold.

For FX-502□, window comparator mode only works for sensing 

output 1.

Shift amount. The shift amount is 10% by default and can be set in PRO 
mode as a percentage or as the incident light intensity. If you select a 
incident light intensity setting that exceeds the maximum or minimum, the 
maximum or minimum sensitivity will be set automatically.

1.  Press the SET key when no sensing object is 

present.

2.  Press the SET key when the sensing object is 

present. 
This sets the lower threshold 1_SL at 10% 
(the set shift amount) lower than the incident 
light intensity and the upper threshold 2_SL at 
10% higher than the incident light intensity.

2-point teaching in window comparator and hysteresis mode

With this method, you set the threshold range by performing teaching the 
with two sensing objects with different incident light intensities (P‑1 and 
P‑2). 

For FX-502□, window comparator mode only works for sensing 

output 1.

Press the SET key when the first sensing 

object is present.

2.  Press the SET key again when the second 

sensing object is present.

If you select a value exceeding the maximum/minimum, the

value.

3-point teaching in window comparator and hysteresis mode

With this method, you set the threshold range by performing teaching with 
three sensing objects with different incident light intensities (P‑1, P‑2, and 
P‑3). After you have performed teaching, the three points P‑1, P‑2, and P‑3 
will be sorted in ascending order into the values A, B, and C. The threshold 
range will be calculated from A, B, and C as follows: The lower threshold 
value 1_SL is the midpoint between A and B and the upper threshold value 
2_SL is the midpoint between B and C.
