Use see table 2, page 7 to check the function. If the switching output fails to behave in
accordance with see table 2, page 7 , check the application conditions.

7.3 Settings
Sensing range setting
Sensor which it is not possible to set: The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
The sensing range is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 5-turn). Clockwise rotation:
sensing range increased; counterclockwise rotation: sensing range reduced. We recom‐
mend placing the object within the sensing range, e.g. see
figure 2 . Once the sensing
range has been adjusted, the object is removed from the path of the beam, which
causes the background to be suppressed and the switching output to change [see
table 2 ].
