This is the method of setting the threshold values 
(1_SL, 2_SL) by one level (P-1) teaching. The shift 
value can be set as desired.
* The shift value units can be selected from two units: 

‘digit’ or ‘%’. 

* The shift value of the factory setting is set to ‘100’ of 

‘digit’ units. 
To set the shift value, refer to the section entitled ‘10-2. 
Output 1 Sensing Mode Settings
 from ‘PRO6 Mode’ 
on p. 53.

The  ‘threshold value’ can be set using ‘1-level teaching’,  ‘2-level teaching’ or ‘3-level teaching’. In window 

comparator mode, teaching is performed using the teaching methods described in the section entitled ‘10-2. 

Output 1 Sensing Mode Settings from ‘PRO6 Mode’ on p. 53.  

Change the teaching method using ‘10-2. Output 1 Sensing Mode Settings’ from ‘PRO6 Mode’ on p. 53 

beforehand.

* Window comparator mode can be set done for output 1 only.

* The factory setting is ‘1-level teaching’.

Press the 
MODE key once.

Blinking by turns.

The status condition when a sensing object is 
present that can be used as a standard. 

Upper limit value 2_SL

Press the 
Jog switch.

Incident light 
intensity for P-1.

Lower limit value 1_SL

The symbol ‘

  

’ will be 

displayed repeatedly.

Press the 
MODE key 5 times.

If the shift value has
been set to 500.

Upper and lower limits have 
not been correctly set.

1

Select ‘TEACH mode’ by pressing the [MODE key] once.

2

The current teaching method (green) and incident light 

intensity (red) will be displayed and the amplifier will enter 
the ‘P-1’ setting state.

3

If the [Jog switch] is pressed while in the status condition 
when a sensing object is present that can be used as a 
standard, then the display will blink the incident light intensity 
reading (red).

6

By pressing the [MODE key] 5 times, the amplifier will return 
to ‘RUN mode’ (normal sensing operation).
‘Lower limit value 1_SL’ (green) and incident light intensity 
(red) will be displayed.

5

Then the setting for ‘upper limit value 2_SL’ (green) will be 
displayed.

4

The display will indicate whether the upper and lower 

threshold value limits have been correctly set and the setting 
for ‘lower limit value 1_SL’ (green) will be displayed.

• 

If ‘           ’ (red) is blinking…the upper and lower limits have 

been set correctly.

• 

If ‘           ’ (red) is blinking…the upper and lower limits have 

not been set correctly.

* The shift value of the factory setting is set to ‘100’ of ‘digit’ 

units.
To set the shift value, refer to the section entitled ‘10-2. 
Output 1 Sensing Mode Settings
