## Concept of operation 

KTS/KTX Prime - setting the switching threshold (2-point teach-in) 

Suitable for manual positioning of the object to be detected, e.g. marks and background. 

## **1. Position mark** 

## **2. Position background** 

When setting the contrasts to be detected, “1st” flashes. Press set button. 

When setting the contrasts to be detected, “2nd” flashes. Press set button. The Quality of Teach is displayed.

## **Switching characteristics** 

The optimum emitted light is selected automatically (at RGB variants). Static teach-in: light/dark setting is defined using teach-in sequence. Dynamic teach-in: switching output active on mark, if background is longer in the field of view during the teach-in. The switching threshold is set in the center between the background and the mark. 

Keylock (activation and deactivation): Press and hold the “+” pushbutton > 10 s. 

The Q-LED (yellow) flashes and the “Err” error message appears on the display.
