Top Panel Interface
Opening the dust cover provides access to the top panel interface. The top panel interface consists of the RUN/PRG/ADJ
mode switch, LO/DO switch, +/SET/- rocker button, dual red/green digital displays, and output LED.
RUN/PRG/ADJ Mode Switch
The RUN/PRG/ADJ mode switch puts the sensor in RUN, PRG (Program), or ADJ (Adjust) mode. RUN
mode allows the sensor to operate normally and prevents unintentional programming changes via the
+/SET/- rocker button. PRG mode allows the sensor to be programmed through the display-driven
programming menu (see Program Mode below). ADJ mode allows the user to perform Expert
TEACH/SET methods and Manual Adjust (see Adjust Mode below).
LO/DO Switch
The LO/DO switch selects Light Operate or Dark Operate mode. In Light Operate mode, the output is
ON when the sensing condition is above the threshold. (For Window SET, the output is ON when the
sensing condition is inside the window.) In Dark Operate mode, the output is ON when the sensing
condition is below the threshold. (For Window SET, the output is ON when the sensing condition is
outside the window.)
+/SET/- Rocker Button
The +/SET/- rocker button is a 3-way button. The +/- positions are engaged by rocking the button left/
right. The SET position is engaged by clicking down the button while the rocker is in the middle position.
All three button positions are used during PRG mode to navigate the display-driven programming menu.
During ADJ mode, SET is used to perform TEACH/SET methods
threshold(s). The rocker button is disabled during RUN mode, except when using Window SET, see
Window SET on page 7.
Red/Green Digital Displays
During RUN and ADJ modes, the Red display shows the signal level, and the Green display shows the
threshold. During PRG mode, both displays are used to navigate the display-driven programming menu.
and +/- are used to manually adjust the
Output LED
The output LED provides a visible indication when the output is activated.
Operating Instructions
Remote Input/IO-Link
For more information about how to perform TEACH/SET methods, to program the sensor remotely, or to interface with the
sensor via IO-Link, see the DF-G1 Manual (P/N 161999).
Run Mode
Run mode allows the sensor to operate normally and prevents unintentional programming changes. The +/SET/- rocker
button is disabled during RUN mode, except when using Window SET, see Window SET on page 7.

TEACH Procedures
The instruction manual has detailed instructions for these TEACH modes:
• Two-Point TEACH
• Dynamic TEACH
• Window SET
• Light SET
• Dark SET
• Calibration SET
Two-Point TEACH
• Establishes a single switching threshold
• Threshold can be adjusted by using the "+" and "-" rocker button (Manual Adjust)
Two-Point TEACH is used when two conditions can be presented statically to the sensor. The sensor locates a single
sensing threshold (the switch point) midway between the two taught conditions, with the Output ON condition on one side,
and the Output OFF condition on the other.
The Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed by using the LO/DO (Light Operate/ Dark Operate) switch.
Dynamic TEACH
Dynamic TEACH is best used when a machine or process may not be stopped for teaching. The sensor learns during actual
sensing conditions, taking multiple samples of the light and dark conditions and automatically setting the threshold at the
optimum level.

The output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed using the LO/DO switch.
Window SET
• Sets window thresholds that extend a programmable % offset above and below the presented condition
• All other conditions (lighter or darker) cause the output to change state
• Sensing window center can be adjusted using "+" and "-" rocker button (Manual Adjust)
• Recommended for applications where a product may not always appear in the same place, or when other signals
may appear
• See Program Mode in the user's manual for programming the Offset Percent setting (to increase/decrease the
window size)
A single sensing condition is presented, and the sensor positions window thresholds a programmable % offset above and
below the presented condition. In LO mode, Window SET designates a sensing window with the Output ON condition inside
the window, and the Output OFF conditions outside the window.
Figure 4. Window SET (Light Operate shown)
Output ON and OFF conditions can be reversed using the LO/DO switch.
Light SET
• Sets a threshold a programmable % offset below the presented condition
• Changes output state on any condition darker than the threshold condition
• Threshold can be adjusted using "+" and "-" rocker button (Manual Adjust)
• Recommended for applications where only one condition is known, for example a stable light background with
varying darker targets
• See
A single sensing condition is presented, and the sensor positions a threshold a programmable % offset below the
presented condition. When a condition darker than the threshold is sensed, the output either turns ON or OFF, depending
on the LO/DO setting.

counts).
A single sensing condition is presented, and the sensor positions a threshold a programmable % offset above the

Troubleshooting
Manual Adjustments Disabled
Manual adjustments are disabled when Auto Thresholds are ON. If a manual adjustment is attempted while Auto
Thresholds are ON, the Green display will flash
.
Percent Minimum Difference after TEACH
The Two-Point and Dynamic TEACH methods will flash a % minimum difference on the displays after a PASS or FAIL.
0 to 99% FAIL The difference of the taught conditions does not meet the required minimum
100 to 300% PASS The difference of the taught conditions just meets/exceeds the required minimum,

DF-G1 Expert™ Dual Display Fiber Amplifier
Value PASS/FAIL Description
300 to 600% PASS The difference of the taught conditions sufficiently exceeds the required minimum,
minor sensing variables will not affect sensing reliability
600% + PASS The difference of the taught conditions greatly exceeds the required minimum, very
stable operation
Percent Offset after SET
The Window, Dark, and Light SET methods will flash a % offset on the displays after a PASS or FAIL.
SET Result % Offset Meaning
PASS (with % Offset) Displays the % offset used for the SET method
FAIL (with % Offset) Displays the minimum required % offset necessary to PASS the SET method
FAIL (without % Offset) Presented condition cannot be used for the SET method
