## Remote Configuration Instructions—100 mm Diffuse Mode Models Only 

## One-Point TEACH 

A one-point TEACH sets the threshold for ON/OFF using a single target. 

A target that returns the same or more light to the sensor turns the output ON. A target that returns less light than the configured target turns the output OFF. 

1. Position the target. 

2. Hold the remote input wire (white) high for 1 to 3 seconds. 

3. Release the remote input wire before 3 seconds. 

The amber LED is on for 3 seconds, indicating a valid configuration. After the configuration, the green/output LED is on. 

When presenting a darker target than the one that was configured, the amber LED turns on as the threshold is approached. With a darker target, the green/output LED is off. 

## Two-Point TEACH 

A two-point TEACH sets the threshold between two different targets. 

A target that returns the same or more light to the sensor turns the output ON. A target that returns less light than the configured target turns the output OFF. 

1. Position the target at the desired ON condition.

2. Hold the remote input wire (white) high for 6 to 15 seconds to teach the ON condition. 

   - The amber LED flashes for 3 seconds while the remote input wire is held high, turns off for 3 seconds, and then begins flashing again at 6 seconds. 

3. Release remote input wire before 15 seconds. 

4. Position the target at the desired OFF condition. 

5. Hold the remote input wire high for 1 second. 

The amber LED is on for 3 seconds, indicating a valid configuration. The green/output LED and the sensor output are OFF. 

A moving target causes the amber LED to turn on as the target reaches the threshold. After the target is at or above the threshold, the green/output LED and the sensor output are ON.
