Dynamic TEACH sets a single switching threshold
(switchpoint).
•
Dynamic TEACH is used to teach during actual
sensing conditions, taking multiple samples of the
light and dark conditions and automatically setting
the threshold at the optimum level.
•
The Output ON state (Light- or Dark-Operate
setting) remains as it was last configured. To
change the Light-/Dark-Operate setting, see
on page 3.

Dynamic TEACH is recommended for applications
where a machine or process may not be stopped for
