◎Three steps for easy alignment
1. Align one beam first, so that the corresponding indicator (blue) lights up.
2. Then align the other beam so that the alignment indicators (blue) on both sides are lit at the same time.
3. Rotate area sensor to change the operation indicator from red to green.

3.4 Operation Mode
◎Standard model (RX)
0 Stop Mode There will not be any scan, the orange light is displayed, and the output is fixed at
OFF state.
1 ON/OFF Mode
Check if there is any object shading in the detection area and excuse self-
diagnosis.
When the product is in normal use, the output is OFF(Red Light) after shading any
light beam, and the output is ON(Green Light) when it is non-shading. In the OFF
state, sensor do FB diagnosis, voltage diagnosis and light beam diagnosis
cyclically. Output to ON state when all the diagnosis pass. When FB, internal
voltage diagnosis be judged into fail, output would stand in OFF state and change
into Stop Mode(Orange Light)
◎Communication model (CX)
0 Stop Mode There will not be any scan, the orange light is displayed, and the output is fixed at
OFF state.
1 ON/OFF Mode
Check if there is any object shading in the detection area and excuse self-
diagnosis.
When the product is in normal use, the output is OFF(Red Light) after shading any
light beam, and the output is ON(Green Light) when it is non-shading. In the OFF
state, sensor do FB diagnosis, voltage diagnosis and light beam diagnosis
cyclically. Output to ON state when all the diagnosis pass. When FB, voltage
diagnosis be judged into fail, output would stand in OFF state and change into Stop
Mode(Orange Light).
In the mode, the fixed/floating blanking and interlock function can be used together.
2
Measurement
mode
(default)
When full beams are non-shading, output action ON (green light flashing once per
second), any beam is shading or abnormal happened, output OFF (red light
flashing once per second). Simultaneously detect Voltage, FB and light beam
diagnosis in the same of scan cycle.
3 FB diagnosis
mode
Detects whether or not each beams feedback signal is normal. When diagnosis is
normal, green light will flash three times every two seconds. When diagnosis is
abnormal, red light will flash three times every two seconds, and output will be fixed
as OFF.
4
Voltage
diagnosis
mode
Detects whether or not the internal/external voltage signal is normal. When
diagnosis is normal, green light will flash four times every two seconds. When
diagnosis is abnormal, red light will flash four times every two seconds, and output
will be fixed as O FF.

Scan /
diagnosis
mode
1. Sequentially FB diagnosis, Voltage diagnosis and light beam diagnosis. The
scan times is three times Measurement Mode. The output is diagnosis result,
not only the shading/non-shading
2. When FB diagnosis, Voltage diagnosis are pass, and non-shading state, the
output is ON and Green Light is on.
3. When FB diagnosis, Voltage diagnosis are pass, and shading state, the output
is ON and Red Light is flash per second.
4. When FB diagnosis or Voltage diagnosis is fail, Stop Mode will starts And
Output in off state. The failure issue should be removed then function
normally.
5. When output is over current, the output turn into off state. In non-shading,
Green LED and Red LED are on. In shading, Green LED and Red LED are
flash per second.
Precaution: When switching operation mode, please remove OUTPUT from the
host for preventing malfunction
