Adjusting the focus position
The user adjusts the focus position to suit the required working distance with the help
of the focus adjustment tool. The focus position is valid for one working distance. The
device does not perform automated tracking (auto focus) if, for example, the working
distance changes significantly. The focus adjustment tool is included with delivery.

Focus position coincides with the working distance (actual position = target position)
1.
Mount and align the device at the required working distance.
2.
Attach the focus adjustment tool to the optics.
3.
Rotate the focus adjustment tool to align the focus position with the working
distance that has been set:
°
To align the focus position with a larger working distance, rotate the focus
adjustment tool in the clockwise direction.
°
To align the focus position with a smaller working distance, rotate the focus
adjustment tool in the counterclockwise direction.
NOTICE
Risk of damage to the product!
Rotating the focus adjustment tool with too much force may damage the product.
■
Apply a maximum of 60 Ncm of torque when rotating the focus adjustment
tool.
4.
Check the focus position again when commissioning the device using the web user
interface (requires an installed suitable SensorApp or similar) and, if necessary
manually align the focus setting with the help of the focus adjustment tool.
5.3.5
Field of view diagrams
Take into account the following aspects in application design:
•
Field of view geometry of the device and position of the field of view in the space
in front of the device
•
Possible angles at which the objects can occur with respect to the device
•
For the planned working distance: resultant field of view length and width and
approximate resolution
•
Reference edge for the working distance
The working distance is measured from the edge of the blue part of the housing.
