6. Settings
6.1 Object Detection Directly in Front of a Background or an Undersurface
• Adjust and securely mount the sensor such that the spot strikes the object to be detected at a right angle.
• Turn the potentiometer all the way to the right.
• Remove the object and slowly turn the potentiometer back until the output is switched. The background or
the undersurface is now suppressed.
• Put the object back under the spot and check to determine whether or not the sensor is activated again.
6.2 Detection of Objects Without Interfering Background
• Adjust and securely mount the sensor such that the spot strikes the object to be detected.
• Turn the potentiometer all the way to the left.
• Turn up the potentiometer up until activation occurs and, if required, turn it up a bit further for increased
switching reliability.
