The LED
Range
on the controller front indicates the
position of the target in relation to the sensor.
Red
No target or target outside the
measuring range
Yellow
Target close to mid of
measuring range
Green
Target within measuring range
Green
Pilot laser is turned on and off
alternately, if no target or
outside the measuring range
1) The maximum thickness for a air gap is 2.1 mm. The
thickness for glass (n = 1.5) is 35 µm as a minimum
and 1.4 mm as a maximum.
Positioning the Target, Thickness Measurement
The red-light pilot laser supports you in aligning the
sensor to the target during commissioning.
Turn on or off the pilot laser in the menu
Settings
>
System settings.
Position the target (measurement object) as much
as possible in the mid of the operating range.
The peak positions remains stable in the FFT signal,
even though the measurement target moves. The peak
position depends on the target thickness.
