Sensing range setting
The sensing range is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: Multiturn, 7 rotations).
Clockwise rotation: sensing range increased; counterclockwise rotation: sensing range
reduced. It is recommended to place the object within the sensing range, e.g. see
figure
8.
Adjustable sensing range: 100 mm ... 3000 mm.
Example:
Safe suppression of the background
