SET mode
Simply press the ON button when an object is present
and OFF when it is not. There is no need to switch
settings or make judgments between Light-ON (
)
and Dark-ON (
).

This carries out teaching and sets threshold values only
when no object is present (when the incident light amount
is stable). This is useful when sensing objects if there
are other objects in the background and when sensing
minute objects. Teaching can also be carried out using
external input.

Variations in the amount of light received
Unify at 500 using
the GETA function
This function seeks changes in the light emitting amount
resulting from changes in the environment over long
periods (such as dust levels), so that the incident light
intensity can be checked at desired intervals and the
threshold values can be reset automatically. Reduces
the number of man-hours needed for maintenance.

display as ‘ ’
If the light receiving level becomes saturated when
sensing over short distances or when sensing
transparent objects or minute objects, the light emitting
amount can be reduced so that stable sensing can be
provided without needing to change the response time.
On previous models, there was only one light reduction
level, but now there are 3 levels plus an automatic mode.
