Mounting M12 connector

If the fixed ring loosens, the connector will come off, causing this product to gen-

erate a communication error. Before use, check that the fixed ring is not loose.

 

●  Firmly tighten the fixed ring by rotating it.

Operation procedure

 

● If you change settings, press the SET key before you turn the power 

OFF. Otherwise your changes will be lost.

 

● If settings are configured simultaneously on the main unit side and 

on the IO-Link communication side, the settings that are applied last 

will be used.

When you turn the power ON, the amplifier is in RUN mode. Press the 

MODE key (indicated by black arrow in the illustrations below) to switch 

from one mode to the next.

RUN mode

 

● Displays the threshold value in green 

and the incident light intensity in red.

 

● Used for teaching, making fine 

adjustments to the threshold values 

(see page 3), and activating the 

key lock function (see page 3).

Sensing output operation mode

 

● Select either Light-ON or Dark-ON. 

The default setting is 

 (Light-ON).

 

● Refer to sensing output operation 

mode on page 4 for details.

Light sensitivity setting mode

 

● Displays the light sensitivity setting 

and enables its setting

 

● Refer to light sensitivity setting mode 

on page 4 for details.

PRO mode

 

● Used for advanced settings.

 

● Refer to PRO mode on page 4 

for details.

RUN mode

Teaching

 

● Please note that if the threshold values are very close to each other, 

objects may not be detected reliably.

 

● Teaching is performed in RUN mode and during IO-Link communi-

cation. 

There are different teaching methods available. Which teaching method is 

recommended depends on the sensor type and whether the sensing object 

is present or not present or moving.

Sensing condition

Recommended teaching 

method

Sensing object is present and easily 

detectable.

2-point teaching

Sensing object is very small.
Other objects are in the background.

Limit teaching

Production line cannot be stopped and 

sensing object is moving

Auto teaching

All teaching methods are available for the thru-beam, the mirror reflection 

type and the reflective type.
