Features: Inputs and Outputs ■ V dc ■ Bipolar (PNP & NPN) output ■ Remote input (disabled by default) –Remote teach –Laser inhibit –Master/slave synchronization

Five Never Fail Teach Modes Teach Modes ■ Five teach modes available –Two-point teach (default) –Dynamic teach –Window set –Light set –Dark set Never Fail a Teach ■ Sensor will never fail a teach mode –Always sets a switch point –Example: In two-point teach mode, if both conditions are at the same signal level, the threshold will be set slightly below the two taught conditions –See manual for specific behaviors

Never Fail Teach Modes ■ Two Point Teach –The sensor centers the switch point between two taught conditions. ■ Dynamic Teach –Dynamic TEACH sets a single switching threshold during machine run conditions. at the optimum level. ■ Window Set –Window set sets a sensing window using the window offset percentage ■ Light Set –Light set sets a switching threshold a user-selectable percent offset below the presented condition. ■ Dark Set –Dark set sets a switching threshold a user-selectable percent offset above the presented condition.
