Sensitivity Settings
The sensitivity settings can be set as per the requirement
using a DIP switch. The value of sensitivity is directly pro-
portional to the number of blinks. 1 blink is the equivalent to
the sensitivity value of 1. Thus, an increase in the number
of blinks will make the instrument more sensitive.
Note:
You can set the value of SENSITIVITY between 1-5.
Follow the below procedure for setting sensitivity
1. Ensure that all DIP switches are in OPEN position as
shown in Figure 6. Make sure that STATUS LED is not
blinking for Error.

2. To make the instrument sensitive, set the SENSITIV-
ITY switch to CLOSE position as shown in figure 7.
A small screw driver can be used for closing and open-
ing of DIP Switch. (CLOSE is the opposite of OPEN
for a DIP switch). The STATUS RED LED will glow.

•
5 blinks indicate highest sensitivity which is re-
quired for low density materials.
•
1 blink refers to lowest value of sensitivity which
is required for normal solids.

Cover Delay
When the application material covers the fork tines,
the changeover of the output can be delayed by a pre-
determined time. This time is called COVER Delay. For
a different value of Cover Delay, the number of blinks can
be adjusted as per requirement.
Note:
You can set the value of COVER DELAY between 1-
25 secs.
Follow the below procedure for setting Cover Delay
1. Ensure that all DIP switches are in OPEN position as
shown in Figure 6. Make sure that STATUS LED is not
blinking for Error.
2. To set the Cover Delay, set the COVER switch to
CLOSE position as shown in Figure 10.
(CLOSE is the opposite of OPEN for a DIP switch.)
The STATUS RED LED will glow.

4. Delay is entered, but not saved. To save and test the
Cover Delay, set the COVER switch back to OPEN po-
sition as shown in Figure 12. The STATUS LED will
come back to its original position.
5. To test, dip vital into the application material until the
switching point is reached.
