NOTES:
1) There is a 2-minute timeout for programming the first window limit. After this time, the
sensor will return to RUN mode with the previously programmed distance. There is no
timeout for programming the second limit.
2) The programming sequence may be cancelled at any time by pressing and holding the push
button for >
2 seconds. The sensor will return to RUN mode with the previously programmed
limits.
3) If programming is rejected during either programming step, the sensor will revert to step 1
above, and wait for programming of the first window limit. This will be indicated by: Green
OFF, Red Flashing to indicate signal strength, Yellow ON Steady.
4) If the sensing distance is accepted, the sensor will return to RUN mode, indicated by: Green
ON Steady.
5) During limit programming, the 5-segment moving dot indicator displays the relative target
position between 50 and 250 mm (the maximum recommended far limit position is 250 mm).
6) If the target is farther than 250 mm, the 5th segment of the moving dot indicator flashes to
indicate that a valid echo is received, but the target is beyond the recommended 250 mm
maximum far limit.
Push Button Indicator Status
Step 1
Enter Program Mode
Push and hold until green indicator turns OFF
(approximately 2 seconds)
Push and Hold for ≥ 2 Seconds
Green: Goes OFF
Yellow: Is ON steadily to indicate ready for teaching
Red: Flashes to indicate echo strength; or OFF if
no target is present
Step 2
Set the First Window Limit (or the Set Point)
Place the target at the first window limit or the
sensing distance set point and press the push
button for less than 2 seconds
Push for < 2 Seconds
Target at
Sensing Distance
Green: Remains OFF
Yellow: Flashes at 2 Hz to indicate ready for
teaching
Red: Comes ON steadily for a moment, then
resumes flashing to indicate echo strength
Step 3
Set the Second Window Limit
Place the target at the second window limit
and press the push button for less than 2
seconds. If the target is held at the same
position for programming of both limits, the
sensor will establish a sensing window
centered on the target position.
Target at
Sensing Distance
Push for < 2 Seconds
Green: Remains OFF, then comes on steadily
(returns to RUN mode)
Yellow: ON steadily for a moment, then either ON
or OFF to indicate output state (returns to
RUN mode)
Red: Comes ON steadily for a moment, then
resumes flashing to indicate echo strength
(returns to RUN mode)
Programming Procedure
Whenever possible, use the actual target to be sensed when programming the window
limits. The following procedures begin with the sensor operating in RUN mode.
