6.3 Setting
Sensing range setting
The sensitivity (sensing range) is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 270°). Clock‐
wise rotation: sensitivity (sensing range) increased; counterclockwise rotation: sensitiv‐
ity (sensing range) reduced. It is recommended to place the object within the sensing
range, e.g. see
table 17 . Once the sensitivity is set, remove the object from the beam
path. The digital output changes.
