Sensor adjustment via potentiometer for GS 61
Notice: A removable operating head is plugged on the potentiometer in ex works. This can be used
to manually adjust the forked photoelectric sensor without the use of a tool. If this is not desired,
the operating head can be pulled off – a screwdriver is then necessary for making adjustments.
The following description applies to a forked photoelectric sensor with switching signal in the label
gap (GS 61/6…). For device versions with switching signal on the label (GS 61/6D…), the LED indi-
cators are inverted.
Preparation: Remove one or more labels from the base material and advance this blank area into
the sensor.
- If the yellow OUT LED does not switch on when the blank area is encountered, increase the
sensitivity by turning the potentiometer clockwise until the yellow OUT LED switches on.
- Starting from this setting, turn the potentiometer clockwise another approx. one half turn.
- Now advance the label tape so that a label is in the sensor.
- If set correctly, the yellow OUT LED must now switch off. Reduce the sensitivity by turning
counterclockwise if the LED remains on.
- Finished: if set correctly, the LED changes between gap and label.
