The small gap in the sensing beam allows precise alignment of the sensor with the object to be detected or with the reflector. Install the sensor so that the object to be detected moves horizontally to the sensor. **==> picture [185 x 108] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket. 2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten the mounting screws at this time. 3. Check the device alignment. 4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position. ## Wiring Quick disconnect wiring diagrams are functionally identical. **==> picture [399 x 225] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## Configure the Sensor Use the button to set the sensor sensitivity or switching behavior. Important: Configure the sensor before the first use. The sensor is factory-set to the maximum operating range. |Sensitivity Setting|Max Range 100×100 refector|Max Range 40×60 refector|Minimum Object Detection Size| |---|---|---|---| |Standard|4.0 m|3.0 m|19 mm| |Increased|4.0 m|3.0 m|12 mm| |Increased with Fine Adjustment|4.0 m|3.0 m|8 mm| ## TEACH Sensor Sensitivity Use the following procedure to set the sensor sensitivity as Standard or Increased. Configure the sensor before it is used for the first time. The default setting is the maximum operating range. - Standard sensitivity—the sensor switches when 28% of the sensing beam is covered by the object to be detected. Standard sensitivity is suitable for detection of opaque objects. - Increased sensitivity—the sensor switches when 18% of the sensing beam is covered by the object to be detected. Increased sensitivity is suitable for detection of containers with openings and transparent objects. 1. Make sure that the sensing beam is aligned with the center of the object and reflector. 2. Clear the path to the reflector. P/N 218394 Rev. B (50144833) www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 2 Q76 Sensors 3.
