Indicators/operating means
Operation indicator LED green, statically lit Power on,
blinking with 2 Hz or 4 Hz in Teach-In mode
Function indicator LED yellow: In retro-reflective mode: Lights up when light beam
is free; flashing if signal is short of function reserve, off when
light beam is interrupted In glass-mode: Lights up when light
beam is free; flashing if further compensation is impossible; off
when light beam is interrupted
Control elements potentiometer for Teach-In and Mode selection
Contrast detection levels 18 % - clear glass bottles
