Mounting Direction
●● Direction to a movable body
<When there are differences in material and color>
•When performing measurements of moving objects with excessively different materials and colors, mount the product per the
following directions to minimize measurement errors.
<Measurement of rotating objects>
•When measuring rotating objects, mount the product as follows. Measurement can be performed with minimized effect on the object caused by up / down deflection, position deviation and etc.
<When there is a step>
•When there is a step in the moving object, mount the product as follows. Measurement can be performed with minimized effect from the edges of the steps.
●● Measuring of narrow locations and recesses
•When measuring in narrow locations or inside holes, mount the
product so that optical path from the light emitting part to lightreceiving part is not interrupted.
●● Mounting the sensor to a wall
• Mount the product as follows, so that the multiple light reflections on the wall do not emit to the lightreceiving part. When the reflection factor on a wall is high, it is effective to use a dull black color.

2.When an object in the background is used as a reference, press the UP key to set the threshold on the sensor side.
When a sensing object is used as a reference, press the DOWN key to set the threshold on the sensing object side.

3. Teaching is completed.
1-point teaching (Window comparator mode)
●● This is mode is used for setting the threshold range for the distance from the reference value of the sensing object, by performing 1-point teaching. This mode is used for sensing within the threshold range.
●● When performing 1-point teaching (window comparator mode), preset “Window
comparator mode 1” in the sensing output setting of the PRO mode. For the setting method, refer to “ 12 PRO MODE SETTING.”

2-point teaching (Window comparator mode)
●● This is method to set the threshold range by conducting the 2-point teaching.
●● When performing 2-point teaching (window comparator mode), preset “Window
comparator mode 2” in the sensing output setting of the PRO mode. For the setting, refer to “ 12 PRO MODE SETTING.”
●● When conducting teaching, use sensing objects (P-1 and P-2) whose distance are different from each other.

3-point teaching (Window comparator mode)
●● This is the method to perform 3-point teaching (P-1, P-2, P-3) and to set the threshold range by setting threshold 1_SL in the mid-point between the 1st time and 2nd time, and threshold
2_SL in the mid-point between the 2nd time and 3rd time as shown in the following figure. ●● When performing 3-point teaching (window comparator mode), preset “Window
comparator mode 3” in the sensing output setting of the PRO mode. For the setting, refer to “ 12 PRO MODE SETTING.”
●● When performing teaching, use sensing objects (P-1, P-2, P-3) with different distance. ●● After teaching, P-1, P-2 and P-3 will be automatically rearranged from the smaller value.
