## FCC Part 15 Class A for Unintentional Radiators 

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. 

(Part 15.21) Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 

## Industry Canada ICES-003(A) 

This device complies with CAN ICES-3 (A)/NMB-3(A). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 

Cet appareil est conforme à la norme NMB-3(A). Le fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) ce dispositif ne peut pas occasionner d'interférences, et (2) il doit tolérer toute interférence, y compris celles susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement non souhaité du dispositif.

To install the S18-2 Plastic 18mm Barrel Sensor: 

1. Align the sensor as required for the application. For the most sensitive object detection, align the sensor so that the objects move across the sensor's axis. 

2. Secure the sensor to a bracket. 

3. Wire sensor as shown in the wiring diagrams. 

4. Adjust the gain adjuster (sensitivity pot) if necessary.

NOTE: Open lead wires must be connected to a terminal block. 

In light operate (LO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns the same or more light to the sensor and OFF when the sensor detects less light than the configured/taught target. In opposed and retroreflective sensing modes , light operate is active when the beam is unblocked. In diffuse, fixed field, and adjustable field sensor modes , light operate is active when the target is present. 

In dark operate (DO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns less light to the sensor than the configured target and OFF when the sensor detects more light than the configured/taught target. In opposed and retroreflective sensing modes , dark operate is active when the beam is blocked. In diffuse, fixed field, and adjustable field sensor modes , dark operate is active when the target is absent.
