Overview
The sensor has an LCD display and 3 push buttons, which control all programming
functions. Serial interface programming can also be accomplished, via SSI or RS422.
Four status indicator LEDs on the sensor front/top provide ongoing status of power and
outputs.

• Escape: Cancels active function and switches to one menu level above (Figure
7) without saving new values
• Important: Both arrows must be pressed simultaneously. Previous value is
unchanged.
The sensor has a 2-line LCD display and 4 LED indicators for ongoing indication of
sensing status: Power ON, Alarm, and Outputs 1 and 2.
In Run mode, the current measured value is displayed in the top line of the sensor’s
display, in millimeters or hundredths of an inch, as selected.
Sensing Options
Sensing Beam. The sensor uses an infrared Class 1 laser for sensing, and a visible red
Class 2 laser (or Pilot laser) for alignment. Both lasers are aimed at the identical target
spot. The laser beams are collimated to focus a compact spot, even at long sensing
distances (see Figure 2).
