Installation Instructions

42JT VisiSight™ Photoelectric Clear Object Sensors with IO-Link

IMPORTANT: SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE USE.

Default Settings:

Output Mode: Dark Operate (Output ON when the light between 
sensor and reflector is blocked)
Output Type: Auto PNP/NPN or IO-Link. In Auto PNP/NPN mode, 
the sensor continuously monitors the load connection and 
automatically configures the output to PNP or NPN.
