Indicators and Status Feedback

• The transmitter shows a power status through an orange LED.
• The receiver carries an orange output LED for quick signal checks.
• A green stable operation LED confirms reliable detection margins.
• A red light receiving LED helps technicians align the optical axis.
• These indicators speed up setup and troubleshooting during commissioning.

Installation Guide

• Mount the transmitter and receiver facing each other on rigid brackets.
• Keep the mounting torque at or below 0.5 N·m to protect the housing.
• Align both units until the red light receiving LED turns on clearly.
• Set the operation mode switch to LIGHT-ON or DARK-ON as needed.
• Turn the 1-turn trimmer to fine-tune sensitivity for the target.
• Confirm the green stable LED stays lit through the full detection cycle.
• Wire the M8 connector to a 10 to 30 VDC supply with correct polarity.
• Keep two units apart or use the different frequency function to avoid crosstalk.

Environmental and Interference Performance

• The PZ-G52CN works from -20 to +55 °C without freezing issues.
• Humidity tolerance spans 35 to 85 % RH with no condensation allowed.
• Sunlight resistance reaches 20,000 lux, so outdoor skylights cause no false trips.
• Incandescent lamp resistance reaches 5,000 lux for indoor plant lighting.
• Vibration testing runs 2 hours per axis at 1.5 mm amplitude.
• Shock testing applies 1,000 m/s² six times per axis.
• Polarization filters or the automatic different frequency function suppress mutual interference.
