6.1
Aligning the DL and DR variants
For the DL and DR variants, ensure that the reflective tape is arranged
such that no direct surface reflections reach the distance sensor.
Align the reflective tape to the distance sensor in an angled position of
approx. 1° ... 3°.

Alignment aid for infrared models
The infrared models DS35-B15821, DT35-B15851, DL35-B15852, and
DR35-B15822 have an alignment aid.
You can determine the exact position of the light spot with the aid of reflec
-
tive tape. Observe the typical light spot diameter of the distance sensor.

1. Position object.
2.
Attach a small piece of reflective tape to the center of the object for
performing alignment.
→
See the figure below
For simpler alignment, you can also first use a reflective strip in the
horizontal direction and then in the vertical direction.
3. Change the distance sensor to alignment mode. To do this, in run
mode, press the
set
pushbutton for longer than 5 seconds.
4. Perform coarse alignment. To do this, align the distance sensor roughly
in the direction of the reflective tape.
