See the Instruction Manual for detailed instructions and other available TEACH modes. The TEACH modes include:

One-pointwindow(foregroundsuppression)FGS(discrete,channel2only)—One-point window sets a window (two switch points)
centered around the taught target distance.
One-pointbackgroundsuppressionbGS(discrete,channel2only)—One-point background suppression sets a single switch point in
front of the taught target distance. Objects beyond the taught switch point are ignored.
Dualintensity+distanceduAL(discrete,channel2only)—Dualmoderecordsthedistanceandamountoflightreceivedfromtheref-
erencesurface.See"Dual Mode Reference Surface Considerations" on page 11formoreinformationaboutselectingareference
surface. The output switches when an object passing between the sensor and the reference surface changes the perceived distance
oramountofreturnedlight.
