strength is not sufficient: Sensors are contaminated, sensors are out of alignment, or
cable is damaged. In the good state: HIGH (>+U
V
- V); if excessively contaminated or in
the event of cable interruption: LOW (U
V
< V). The LED indicator flashes in this case.
Time types: HL18L with optional On-delay or Off-Delay adjustment: t0 = no time delay,
t1 = time delay when object is detected, t2 = time delay when no object is detected.
The time setting can be selected using the potentiometer according to A.

Timer stages can be set from 0 to 2 seconds.
Light/dark switch: The sensor is in light switching mode when optional light/dark poten‐
tiometer is rotated to the “L” position. The sensor is in dark switching mode when optio‐
nal light/dark potentiometer is rotated to the “D” position. The green power supply LED
will flash once when the mode is changed.

light (light spot) with the re‐
flector. / Clean the optical sur‐
faces (sensor and reflector). /
Readjust the sensitivity (po‐
tentiometer) / If the potentio‐
meter is set to the max. sen‐
sing range: Reduce the dis‐
tance between the sensor and
the reflector, and check the re‐
flector type against graphic
