## **Notes** Switching threshold adaptation: Only, the first teach-in procedure after switching on is permanently stored. Teach-in can be repeated cyclically. Switching output also during teach-in active. Once teach-in process is complete, the switching threshold can be adjusted at any time using the “+” or “–” button. To make minor adjustments, press the “+” or “–” button once. To configure settings quickly, keep the “+” or “–” button pressed for longer. - Press both the “+” and “–” buttons together (3 seconds) to lock the device and prevent unintentional actuation. Press both the “+” and “–” buttons together (6 seconds) to define the switching function - (light/dark switching). Standard setting: Q = light switching. Teach-in (static): Setting the switching threshold without movements of label, cf. operating instruction. ## Recommended accessories ||**Brief description**|**Type**|**Part no.**| |---|---|---|---| |Plug connectors and cables|||| |Xs|• **Connection type head A:**Female connector, M8, 4-pin, straight, A-coded
