Connect the sensor cable. When power is turned on, the sensor LED should be illuminated and
the sensor signal should be ON.
CAUTION:
Do not operate locking mechanism with sensor touching the
detection shaft. Operating the locking mechanism with the sensor touching the
detection shaft will damage the sensor. Back off the sensor ½ turn and secure
with the set screw before operating the locking mechanism.

Turn the M3 socket set screw, until it contacts the sensor, and tighten 1/4 turn using
a 2 mm hex key.
