6.1 Alignment
Visible red light: Align the sensor with the object. Select the position so that the red
emitted light beam hits the center of the object. You must ensure that the optical
opening (front screen) of the sensor is completely clear [see
figure 3 ].
Infrared light: Align the sensor with the object. Select the position so that the infrared
light (not visible) hits the center of the object. The correct alignment can only be
detected via the LED indicators. See
figure 3 and table 14 . You must ensure that the
optical opening (front screen) of the sensor is completely clear.

6.2 Check the application conditions
Check the application conditions: adjust the sensing range and the remission factor
capability of the object according to the corresponding diagram [see
see figure 5 ]. (x =
sensing range, y = operating reserve).
During this process, an object can only be detected in front of a background if the
remission factor capability of the object is significantly higher than that of the back‐
ground or if the distance between the object and the background is sufficiently long.
