Distance adjustment for
Trigonometric area reflective type
1) Point the detection face of the photo-
electric sensor towards the targets
direction and temporarily fasten.
2) Set the DISTANCE adjuster to maxi-
mum position (FAR). If the LIGHT indi-
cator LED does not turn ON at this
position without surroundings towards
detection direction, then recognize this
position as “FAR” one. If the LIGHT
indicator LED turns ON at this position
detecting surroundings, turn the DIS-
TANCE adjuster slowly counterclock-
wise to find a FAR position where the
LIGHT indicator LED turns OFF.
3) Place a target at the detection posi-
tion and set the DISTANCE adjuster to
its minimum setting NEAR and slowly
turn it clockwise and note the LIGHT
indicator LED turns ON.
The minimum position at which the
LIGHT indicator LED turns ON is the
NEAR position.
4) Set the DISTANCE adjuster to the
middle of the two positions found in 2)
and 3) above.
5) Fasten the photoelectric sensor.
Mount securely so that the photoelec-
tric sensor is not shifted from alignment
by vibrations or impact.
Notes:
1. If the ADJUST indicator LED does not
turn ON in step 4), or if such a operation
range acquainted by above 2) or 3) is less
than 2 graduations, either change the posi-
tion of the detection surface and repeat
steps 1) to 4), or adjust external factors such
as ambient temperature variations, position
of target, etc.
2. The detection distance varies only slightly
with the color of the target.
However, if the target has an extremely low
reflection factor (dull black rubber), detection
may not be possible, or if the target has an
extremely high reflection factor (mirrors,
glass, glossy paper and other specular
reflection targets), adjustment of the detec-
tion distance may not be possible. Use the
actual target to check operation.
3. Please be careful not to apply excessive
torque to the DISTANCE adjuster and the
LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON selector switch.
Sensitivity adjustment for
Diffuse reflective type
1) Facing the detection face in the
detection direction, temporarily fasten
it.
2) Set the SENSITIVITY adjuster to its
maximum position (MAX.). If the OPE.
indicator LED does not turn ON at this
position without surroundings towards
detection direction, then recognize this
position as “MAX.’’ one. If the OPE.
indicator LED turns ON at this position
detecting surroundings, turn the SEN-
SITIVITY adjuster slowly counterclock-
wise to find a MAX. position where the
OPE. indicator LED turns OFF.
3) Place a target at the detection posi-
tion, and further turn the SENSITIVITY
adjuster counterclockwise to find the
position where the OPE. indicator LED
goes out.
4) Fasten the SENSITIVITY adjuster at
the middle point between the positions
selected in steps 2) and 3).
5) Fasten the photoelectric sensor so
securely as not to be displaced by
vibration or shock.
Notes:
1. Since the detectable distance depends on
the material, color, size, shape and direction
of targets, and the environmental conditions,
check and adjust it using an actual target.
2. If the STAB. indicator LED does not come
ON in step 4), reposition the detection face
and repeat the procedure of steps 1) to 4) or
pay attention to other factors such as ambi-
ent temperature variations, position of target,
etc.
3. Please be careful not to apply excessive
torque to the SENSITIVITY adjuster and the
LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON selector switch.
Light axis adjustment for
Retroreflective type
1) Temporarily mount the reflector and
the photoelectric sensor in proper align-
ment.
2) Move the photoelectric sensor left
and right, up and down to find a posi-
tion in the center of the range in which
the OPE. indicator LED is ON.
3) Check the photoelectric sensor’s
operation when a target passes the car-
rying path.
4) If it does not operate, adjust the sen-
sitivity.
5) Affix the reflector and photoelectric
sensor in position firmly so that vibra-
tion or shock must not cause the light
beam axis to shift out of alignment.
Notes:
1. If the STAB. indicator LED does not
come ON in step 3), reposition the
reflector and repeat steps 1) to 3) or
pay attention to other factors such as
ambient temperature variations, posi-
tion of target, etc.
2. Please be careful not to apply exces-
sive torque to the SENSITIVITY
adjuster and the LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON
selector switch.
Light axis adjustment for
Thru-beam type
1) Swing the projector and receiver to
left and right, and up and down to find a
position around the middle of the OPE.
indicator LED’s ON range, and then
secure them. At this time, confirm that
the STAB. indicator LED is lit.
2) Sensitivity adjusting makes detection
possible of translucent targets.
For translucent targets, the SENSITIVI-
TY adjuster is turned to the position
where the target can be detected.
Note:
1. If the STAB. indicator LED goes out dur-
ing operation, the sensor detection does not
work any longer. Check the situation and
adjust the sensitivity again.
2. Please be careful not to apply excessive
torque to the SENSITIVITY adjuster and the
LIGHT-ON/DARK-ON selector switch.
