1. Mount the sensor with the darkest object at the longest
application
distance. The distance to the object must be less than shown in
on page 10 for your object color.
2. Turn the adjustment
potentiometer
counter-clockwise
until
the
yellow indicator turns
off
(8 turns maximum).
3. Turn the adjustment
potentiometer
clockwise
until
the yellow
indicator turns on.
4. Replace the darkest object with the brightest background at the
closest
application
distance.
5. Turn the adjustment
potentiometer
clockwise,
counting
the
revolutions,
until
the yellow indicator turns on.
6. Turn the adjustment
potentiometer
counter-clockwise half of the
number of turns from step 5. This places the
cutoff
distance midway
between the object and the background switchpoints (see
on page 4).
The sensor is ready for
operation.

Setup Example
An object with a
reflectivity
similar to black paper is set 100 mm (3.9 in) away
from the AF200 sensor. A background with a
reflectivity
similar to white paper
is set away from the sensor. According to
on page 10 , the minimum
separation
distance between the object and the background is 24 mm (0.94 in).
In this
application,
reliable
detection
is achieved when set up according to the
procedure outlined in
Sensor Setup - Background Suppression—AFxxx Models
on page 3.

Remote
Configuration—XLPC
models
The remote input wire (pin 2/white wire) is used to to lock the push
button,
select Light or Dark Operate, or perform the desired Light
SET or Dark SET for the object. In contrast to other Banner Engineering sensors, the QM26 and QMH26 Expert
™
coaxial polarized
retroreflective
sensors (XLPC models) use the
duration
between pull-high pulses on the remote input wire to both
initiate
the Light SET
or Dark SET and to select the desired
sensitivity
simultaneously. See
on page 5,
Note:
After
the delay before startup has elapsed (
≤
300 ms), the remote input may be used.
Push
Button
Lockout—XLPC Models
The remote input wire (pin 2/white wire) can be used to disable the sensor push
button
on the XLPC models to prevent unauthorized
adjustment to the sensor. Connect the remote input wire (pin 2/white wire) of the sensor to the +V dc terminal to disable
configuration
adjustments using the push
button.
