Note
When mounting the sensor head in the opposite direction as described previ-
ously, set the spot toggle switch before mounting.
• Adjusting the beam axis
The angle of the beam axis can be changed upward if the screw indicated by
the arrow is tightened, and downward if loosened.
LV-S71/S72
Mount the sensor head such
that the letter “T” (on the
transmitter) or “R” (on the
receiver) faces upward. The
side where the operation indi-
cator illuminates should face
upward.
• Adjusting the beam axis
The angle of the beam axis can be changed downward if the screw indicated
by the arrow is tightened, and upward if loosened.
Adjust the spot to be emitted at the
center on the receiver.
The adjustment is facilitated by
attaching the beam-axis adjustment
cap supplied with the sensor head to
the tip of the receiver. Once the
adjustment is complete, remove the
beam-axis adjustment cap.
Setting Sensitivity
■ 2-point calibration
1
Press the SET button once without a
workpiece being placed.
2
Place a workpiece at the designated
position, and quickly press the SET
button once again.
* If the sensitivity difference does not have enough room, “++++” flashes after
the calibration is complete. The setting value is changed at this time, too.
■ Maximum sensitivity setting
Set the sensitivity without a workpiece in the case of the reflective type, and with
a workpiece in the case of the transmission type.
1
Press the SET button for three
seconds in the state as shown in
the figure on the left.
The indication flashes when the setting
is complete.
2
Release the SET button.
Note
In the transmission type, if the value for the maximum sensitivity setting is the same as
DSC, the device will not operate correctly, so do not use the same value.
■ Full-auto calibration (not available for the LV-S31)
1
Let the workpiece pass while the SET
button is being pressed for three
seconds. (The sensitivity is set
according to the received light intensity
while the SET button is pressed.)
2
The indication flashes when the
setting is complete.
3
Release the SET button.
Perform 2-point calibration if the setting cannot be configured as desired.
■ Zero datum calibration (not available for the LV-S31)
1
Press the SET button quickly without a
workpiece being placed.
2
Press the SET button for at least three
seconds. When the indication flashes,
release the button.
3
The calibration is complete when
"
" is displayed. When "
" is displayed, switch the
channel toggle switch to "2" and check the contents of the alarm.
*The alarm contents are only displayed when "Auto" is selected for "ALrt",
the operation of control output 2 in "4. Detection mode selection". (For
information about the display, see "Toggling the display" on page 9.)

In the transmission or retro-reflective type, when zero datum calibration is performed
without a workpiece, the received light intensity without a workpiece is used as zero and
the value indicates the amount of blocked light. The setting value is set automatically.
