10-4 Height Sensor
Setup
Before performing any dispensing programs with the Height Sensor, make sure that the
Height Sensor is properly set up. To set up the Height Sensor, use your dispensing software
to run a Height Sensor Setup procedure.
During the Height Sensor Setup process, you can assign values to control various Height
Sensor parameters. In FMW, you can control the Up and Down Speed and Acceleration of
the dispensing head during a height sense, the Maximum Search Depth that the dispensing
head will descend in search of the substrate, and the Retract Distance after a height sense. In
FMDOS, you can control the Z-Velocity and Acceleration of the dispensing head during a
height sense. You can also select a mode for establishing automatic height senses at
specified points during production. Refer to specifications on page 10-16 for recommended
settings.
There are separate Height Sensor setup procedures for FMW and for FMDOS.
Make sure that your Height Sensor is properly set up prior to programming.

experience problems with your Height Sensor performance, use these
parameters to try and correct the problem.
