Alignment
WTB16P Bluetooth®: Align sensor on 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
WTB16I Bluetooth®: Align sensor on 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 figure
the optical opening (front screen) of the sensor is completely clear.

Sensing range
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object or
background and the remission capability of the object according to the corresponding dia‐
gram [see figure 5 and 7] (x = sensing range, y = minimum distance between set sensing
range and background (white, 90%)) Remission: 6% = black 1, 18% = gray 2, 90% =
white 3 (referring to standard white as per DIN 5033). We recommend making the adjust‐
ments using an object with a low remission.
The minimum distance (= y) for background suppression can be determined from diagram
[
figure 5
1] as follows:
Example: x = 400 mm, y = 25 mm. That is, the background (white, 90%) is suppressed at a
distance of > 25 mm from the sensor.
