The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.

LED indicator/fault pattern
Green LED does not light up
Green LED does not light up
Green LED does not light up
Yellow LED flashes
Yellow LED lights up, no object
in the path of the beam
Object is in the path of the
beam, yellow LED does not
light up
Cause
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Voltage interruptions
Sensor is faulty
Sensor is still ready for oper‐
ation, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
Remission capability of the
background is excessive
Sensitivity is set too low or dis‐
tance between the sensor and
the object is too long
Measures
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam
of light (light spot) with the
object / Clean the optical sur‐
faces / Readjust the sensitiv‐
ity (potentiometer)
Check changes to the back‐
ground. Reduce the sensitivity
of the sensor or use sensors
with background suppression
Increase the sensing range,
take note of the distance
between the sensor and the
background
