Sensor Configuration
Sensor configuration is accomplished via TEACH, SET and SETUP modes. After the
sensing parameters are defined (using either TEACH or SET mode), SETUP mode may
be used to enable the delay or to change the light/dark operate status. Manual Adjust
may be used to fine-tune the thresholds (see page 7). Two push buttons, Dynamic
(+) and Static (-), or the remote wire, may be used to access and set the sensing
parameters. The ten-element signal strength bargraph display clearly displays the relative
received signal strength.
Sensor sensitivity may be configured using any of three methods. A single switching
threshold may be achieved using either Dynamic (on-the-fly) or Static TEACH, or Window
SET may be used to define a sensing window, centered on a single sensing condition.
The discrete bipolar (one NPN and one PNP) outputs may be programmed in SETUP
mode to include a 20- or 40-millisecond pulse stretcher (OFF-delay), if required. A
third, dedicated, 0 to 10 milliamp analog output may be used for applications such as
measuring or monitoring of surface brightness or texture.
Both sensing sensitivity and output setup are accomplished either by using the sensor push
buttons, or by supplying input pulses via the remote input.
Remote Configuration
The remote configuration function may be used to configure the sensor remotely or to
disable the push buttons for security. Connect the gray wire of the sensor to ground
(0V dc), with a remote programming switch connected between them. Pulse the remote
line according to the diagrams in the configuration procedures. The duration of the
individual pulses is equal to the value T:
0.04 seconds ≤ T ≤ 0.8 seconds
Returning to RUN Mode
Some TEACH and SET modes may be exited after the 90-second time-out or by exiting
the process:
• In Static TEACH or Window SET mode, press and hold the Static (-) button (or hold the
remote line) for 2 seconds. The sensor returns to RUN mode without saving any new
settings.
SETUP mode may be exited after the 30-second time-out or by exiting the process:
• In SETUP mode, press and hold both the Static (-) and Dynamic (+) buttons (or hold
the remote line) for 2 seconds. The sensor returns to RUN mode and saves the current
setting.
