Procedure

LED Display

Sample

Color

Position new color to be sensed
within scanning distance, typically

20 mm (0.8"); sensor will sample

the color to be sensed*

Output LED: OFF
Output Status LEDs: All OFF
Display: run (no OFF-delay) or

rund (OFF-delay selected)

Select

Channel

• Press and hold Set ≥ 2 seconds

• Channel 1 (“SEt1”) is selected

by default

• Click Select repeatedly until

desired channel is displayed

• Click Set to save selection

Output LED: OFF
Output Status LEDs: All OFF
Display: SEt1 (channel 1) or

SEt2 (channel 2) or

SEt3 (channel 3)

Sensing

Mode

• Click Select to choose:

Color or Color + Intensity

(Color is the default mode)

• Click Set to save selection

Output LED: OFF
Output Status LEDs: All OFF
Display: C (Color) or

C_I (Color + Intensity)

• Sensor saves color settings**

Output LED: ON (if saved)
Output Status LEDs: Selected channel ON
Display: uPdt (flashing 2 seconds)

Tolerance

Level

• Click Select repeatedly until desired

tolerance level is displayed;

10 levels available

• Click Set to save tolerance setting**

Output LED: ON
Output Status LEDs: Selected channel ON
Display: toL0 (most selective)

toL1 (tolerance level 1)

* If the color being taught is out of the sensor’s range, a “FAIL” message will appear in the 4-digit display, followed by a “Hi” or “Lo” message

(indicating too much or too little light, respectively).

** Remembering Settings: Save selected sensor settings by clicking the Set push button at the end of Programming mode. The settings are

saved in the sensor’s “EEPROM” memory and the sensor remembers the current settings, even after being powered off.

��

Sensor Programming

Programming mode determines the colors the sensor will detect for each of the three outputs. Repeat the following steps for each

output. Refer to Figure 2 for a quick overview of this process. The procedure is identical for all models.
NOTE: The sensor has a 12-second time-out. If a period longer than 12 seconds elapses between steps, sensor will return to Run

mode without saving settings.
