## Concept of operation 

Setting the switching threshold via plus/minus buttons (WFxx-B410) 

## **1. No object in the beam path** 

## **2. Object in the beam path** 

The yellow function indicator illuminates when the light received is at its optimum level. If necessary, increase sensitivity using the “+” button. 

Yellow function indicator goes out. If necessary, reduce sensitivity using the “–” button.
