2 Sensing range
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and the remission capability of
the object according to the corresponding diagram [ see figure 10 ]. (x = sensing range, y =
operating reserve).
During this process, an object can only be detected in front of a background if the remis‐
sion capability of the object is significantly higher than that of the background or if the dis‐
tance between the object and the background is sufficiently long.

Use and Table 3 to check the function. If the switching output fails to behave in accordance
with Table 3, check the application conditions. See section Fault diagnosis.
