Wiring Diagram
The PNP- or NPN-load will automatically
be detected.
Always connect the white wire to (+) supply
for running mode (Locked setup)
Installation
First time calibration
Install and wire the sensor according to the above wiring
diagram. Remember to connect the white wire, the 4th wire,
to (+) supply
The very first time the sensor is powered up, the sensor will
automatically adapt to the surroundings and calculate an
optimal sensitivity by itself no matter what kind of plastic
material to be detected.
As long as the white wire is connected to (+) supply, the
sensor will be locked and be in running mode.

Re-calibration of the sensor
If needed, a new Self-Teach can be activated by discon-
necting the white wire from (+) supply, and then connect it
again to (+) supply.
You have now activated a new Self-Teach and the sensor
will now re-calibrate and calculate a new sensitivity accord-
ing to the application. Be sure that the application is empty
no object to detect.

Installation Hints
Dimensions
Relief of cable strain
Protection of the sensing face
Switch mounted on mobile carrier
To avoid interference from inductive voltage/
current peaks, separate the prox. switch pow-
er cables from any other power cables, e.g.
motor, contactor or solenoid cables
Not correct
Correct
The cable should not be pulled
A proximity switch should not serve as
mechanical stop
Any repetitive flexing of the
cable should be avoided
