Possible Reason 
Sensor mode set incorrectly. 
PC40 sensor mode, location, and 
edge symbol parameters set 
incorrectly. 
Sensors not mounted within 
operating range. 
Dirty lenses and/or retroreflector. 
Sensor responding to objects in 
line background, such as cams, 
levers, etc. 
Inductive interference (electrical 
noise) from power or solenoid 
cables. 
Sensor mode set incorrectly. 
PC40 sensor mode, location, and 
edge symbol parameters set 
incorrectly. 
Sensors not mounted within 
operating range. 
Dirty sensor lenses and/or 
retroreflector. 
Emitter and receiver/reflector 
misaligned. 
Corrective Action 
Adjust light/dark operate switch 
to 
intended mode. 
Correct settings in Program mode. 
Mount within proper range. 
Clean lenses and/or retroreflector. 
Observe sensor LED to see 
if 
sensor responding to background 
objects; if so, adjust gain setting 
and/or follow alignment tips. 
Route sensor cab:es away from 
power and output wiring. 
Adjust light/dark operate switch to 
intended mode. 
Correct settings in Program mode. 
Mount within proper range. 
Clean lenses and/or retroreflector. 
Align sensor components.
