6.1
Aligning the DL and DR models
For the DL and DR models, ensure that the reflective tape is arranged so
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°.
→
See the figure below.
ca. 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
a reflective tape. Please take the typical light spot diameter of the distance
sensor into account.

See Page 54, Chapter 13.2.
1. Position object.
2.
Attach a small reflective tape to the center of the object for performing
alignment.
→
See the figure below.
For a 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 and hold 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.
