Installation Guide

• Fix the sensor on a solid bracket using the 69 mm x 50 mm x 153 mm body.
• Align the red laser spot with the target and confirm a clear optical path.
• Wire the male connector to a 10 V to 30 V DC supply with correct polarity.
• Select the analog range of 0 mA to 20 mA or 4 mA to 20 mA before operation.
• Set response and output time between 150 ms and 6,000 ms for your process.
• Use the PNP multifunctional input above 12 V to control the laser-off function.
• Keep the unit within –10 °C to +45 °C, or fit a cooling case for hotter sites.
• Check the IP65 seal and clean the glass window during routine maintenance.
