Alignment
Align the sensor with the object. Select the position so that the red emitted light beam
hits the center of the object. You must ensure that the optical opening (front screen) of
the sensor is completely clear
Align the sensor with the object. Select the position so that the infrared light (not
visible) hits the center of the object. The correct alignment can only be detected via the
LED indicators. See

Sensing range
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and the remission capability
of the object according to the corresponding diagram
y = operating reserve).
During this process, an object can only be detected in front of a background if the
remission capability of the object is significantly higher than that of the background or if
the distance between the object and the background is sufficiently long.
