## **Adjustment - wall** 

## **No target present - tank empty** 

Press push-button >3 seconds until LEDs are flashing once per second. The surroundings will be calibrated when the push-button is released during the following 3 seconds

The sensor will calculate a switch-point by itself. No further calibration is needed. 

## **Adjustment - object** 

## **Target present - tank full** 

The self-calculated switch-point can be changed by means of the Teach-in function for ”Target present”. Press push-button >6 seconds until LEDs are flashing twice per second. The object will be calibrated when the push-button is released during the following 3 seconds 

Push-button LED - Green LED - Yellow Time (sec) 0            1             2             3              4            5             6             7             8             9            10           11          12           13
