WARNING:

Do not use this device for personnel protection

Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.

This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in

personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-

energized (off) output condition.

Display and Indicators

The display is a 4-digit, 7-segment LED. The main screen is the Run mode screen.
For 2-pt, BGS, FGS, and DYN TEACH modes, the display shows the current distance to the target in millimeters. For dual TEACH
mode, the display shows the percentage matched to the taught reference surface. A display value of 

 indicates the sensor

has not been taught.

Output Indicator

On—Outputs conducting (closed)

Off—Outputs not conducting (open)

Stability Indicator (STB)

On—Stable signal within the specified sensing range

Flashing—Marginal signal, the target is outside the limits

of the specified sensing range, or a multiple peak

condition exists

Off—No target detected within the specified sensing

range
