6.6. I/O Test
This function manually changes the output of the Sensor. As a result, it possible to test whether the further pro-
cess is working as desired. The test is automatically terminated once you leave the test menu.

Measured value: Default of a measured value in µm
Statusbits:
The number of the status bit to be set can be selected by
pressing the “+” or “–” button. (see list of Statusbits)
Warm-up:
Default of the warm-up on “ok” or “warm-up”
Signal strength: Default of the signal strength on “ok”, “too low” or “too high”
Temperature:
Default of the temperature on “ok”, “too low” or “too high”

1
General error
One of the following bits is set.
—
2
Distance to object too
small
The current measured value is below the
working range.
Measuring range lower
limit
3
Distance to object too
large
The current measured value is above the
working range.
Measuring range upper
limit
4
No signal
The sensor does not detect an object
within its working range.
Measuring range upper
limit
5
Signal too weak
Too little light is reflected back to the sen-
sor from the object (e.g. very dark surface).
The quality of the measured value is re-
duced as a result.
Current measured value
6
Signal too strong
Too much light is reflected back to the
sensor from the object (e.g. reflector) The
quality of the measured value is reduced
as a result.

Warm-up procedure
The sensor is currently in the warm-up
phase and the quality of the measured
value does not yet comply with the speci-
fied technical data. See page 5 below.
