At a sensing range of „x“ the photoelectric retro-reflective and through-beam photoelectric sensors have different operating reserves (see blue arrow). The higher the operating reserve factor, the better the sensor can compensate the contamination in the air or in the light beam and on the optical surfaces (front screen, reflector), i.e. the sensor has the maximum availablity, otherwise the sensor switches due to pollution although there is no object in the path of the light beam.

## Functions Operation note 

BluePilot: Blue indicator LEDs with double benefits 

Easy and quick sensor alignment with the help WLA photoelectric retro-reflection sensor alignment of the LED indicator All blue LEDs illuminate – optimum alignment – highest possible operating reserve 5 A ~~ig?~~ Service note A reduction in sensor availability is displayed by a decrease of the blue LEDs. 

a) insufficient alignment b) contamination of the optical surfaces c) particles in the light beam 

Possible causes: a) b) c)
