USER MANUAL OM5001 IFM

• The red LED is lit with exact alignment;

• it is flashing with inexact alignment. Maximum range is only achieved with precise alignment.

Receiver TransmitterSensitivity setting Through-beam sensors are usually operated in the dark-on mode. In most applications maximum sensitivity can be used for operation. The settings described below are only necessary if partly transparent or small objects are to be detected.

• Set the sensitivity to its maximum by turning the "Range" poten- tiometer " of the receiver counter-clockwise until you hear a click.

• Place the object to be detected between the transmitter and the receiver.

• Turn the potentiometer for the sensitivity setting counter-clockwise until the yellow LED (output) is just lit.

• Remove the object to be detected.

• Turn the potentiometer for the sensitivity setting counter-clockwise until the yellow LED (output) is just lit and count the number of rev- olutions.

• Turn the potentiometer for the sensitivity setting back clockwise by half of the revolutions counted before.

• For selecting the light-on or dark-on mode, set the slide switch to the requested operating mode. Controls and indicators (Receiver)

When no object is in the light beam between transmitter and receiver the LEDs indicating the reception of light must go off and the switch- ing state of the output must change. Operation Only open the cover to make adjustments. Close it after the adjust- ment has been made in order to maintain the protection IP67. Check whether the unit functions properly.

• Light-on mode – the output is switched when the object is not pre- sent. The yellow LED (only receiver) is lit.

• Dark-on mode – the output is switched when the object is present. The yellow LED (only receiver) is lit.

• The green LED is lit when the sensor is ready for operation.

• The red LED (only receiver) is lit when the light is received (= no object between transmitter and receiver);
