Installation Guide

• Mount the sensor on a rigid bracket and tighten the mounting hole to 0.5 N·m maximum.
• Keep the sensing face clean and free of dust, oil, and condensation.
• Align the beam toward the target and adjust the 1-turn trimmer for stable detection.
• Select LIGHT-ON or DARK-ON with the operation mode switch before powering up.
• Wire the M12 pigtail connector to a 10 to 30 VDC supply and observe the PNP output polarity.
• Separate units by using polarization filters or the automatic different frequency function when you install two sensors.
