Sensitivity adjustment procedure

Notes: 1)

4)
5)

6)

When adjusting the sensitivity of OUT 1 area, adjacent right OUT 1 area and adjacent left 
OUT 1 area, this is the OUT 1 area operation indicator (red).
When adjusting the sensitivity of OUT 2 area, this is the OUT 2 area operation indicator
(yellow).
Set areas other than the area you are adjusting as ineffective.
Use the accessory adjuster screwdriver to turn the distance adjuster slowly. Turning with 
excessive force will cause damage the adjuster.
During the sensitivity adjustment, do not let your hand be detected.
Sensitivity adjustment for the auxiliary sensor is performed with the sensitivity adjuster on 
the auxiliary sensor (

PX-SB1

). Refer to the instruction manual enclosed with auxiliary sen-

sor (

PX-SB1

).

After sensitivity adjustment, fit the adjustment panel cover using the accessory adjuster 
screwdriver. The tightening torque should be 0.5N

m or less.

Place an object to be detected at the required sensing position, and
turn the sensitivity adjuster gradually clockwise and mark the point    
where the indicator turns on (Note 1).

ԝ

Ԝ

After all the adjustments are made, the operator must confirm that the 
sensing area is set correctly by observing the detection of the object as 
it approaches from different directions.

Carry out steps 

ԙ

,

Ԛ

 and 

ԛ

 for each of the areas OUT 2, OUT 1, ad-

jacent left / right OUT 1 and auxiliary sensors (if they are connected).

ԛ

Ԛ

ԙ

Turn the sensitivity adjuster fully counterclockwise to the minimum 
sensing range position.

Ԙ

Set the output operation mode switch to the L. ON mode position (Light-ON).

Step Sensitivity adjustment

Operation

Remove the object and turn the sensitivity adjuster further clockwise. 
Find out the point    where the indicator turns on again. Make sure that 
the difference between point    and    is 1 div., or more, on the scale. 
Then, set the sensitivity adjuster at point    .

Setting procedure

Notes: 1)

2)

Not required when auxiliary sensor (

PX-SB1

) is not used.

Max. two auxiliary sensors can be connected.

ԝ

After completion of the above adjust-
ments, the adjustment panel cover must 
be fitted back on the adjustment panel.

The tightening torque should be 
0.5N

m or less.

For

PX-24ES

 and 

PX-23ES

, set the ex-

ternal control function selection switch 
in the adjustment panel to 'INT.' side.

Sensing area of 

PX-26

 main 

sensor is not selectable.

PX-24ES

 and 

PX-23ES

 allow 

sensing area selection with ex-
ternal signal, too.

Connection of 
auxiliary sensor
(Note 1)

If you expect to use the optional auxili-
ary sensors (

PX-SB1

), connect them 

to the main sensor and install them.
(Note 2)

Refer to the instruction manual 
enclosed with auxiliary sensor 
(

PX-SB1

).

Ԙ

Mounting and 
preparation

Mount the main sensor at the required lo-
cation. Open the adjustment panel cover.

OUT 2 area and OUT 1 area

Note: The sensitivity of the OUT 2 and the OUT 1 areas can be adjusted independently. Thus the 

OUT 1 area can be set for a longer range than the OUT 2 area, in which case OUT 1 turns ON 
before OUT 2.
