Notes
Glossy objects:
With glossy objects, the
sensor is to be fastened at
an inclination of
approx. 10° … 15° rela-
tive to the object surface.
Alignment aid:
An alignment aid is
included in the scope of
delivery of each sensor.
This facilitates simple
alignment of the sensor to
the working distance of 13
mm without needing to
perform electrical
commissioning.
Observe intended use!
This product is not a safety
sensor and is not intended
as personnel protection.
The product may only be put
into operation by competent
persons.
Only use the product in ac-
cordance with its intended
use.

Adjusting the switching threshold
The sensitivity of contrast sensor KRT18B is set via the multiturn potentiometer.
Adjustment procedure
The description is provided using the example of a dark mark on a light background. For the case of a light mark on a dark background,
the terms mark and background simply need to be exchanged.
1.Positioning the background under the light spot.
If the bar graph indicator is to the left of the middle position, turn the multiturn potentiometer clockwise until the sensor switches
off (yellow indicator LED Q1 off). Several full turns may be necessary here.
2.Positioning the mark under the light spot.
If the bar graph indicator is to the right of the middle position, turn the multiturn potentiometer counterclockwise until the sensor
switches on (yellow indicator LED Q1 on). Several full turns may be necessary here.
3.Switch between mark and background and watch the bar graph while doing so. Turn the multiturn potentiometer until the deflec-
tion between the mark and the background is symmetric about the middle of the bar graph.
4.If you are not able to find a setting that enables reliable detection, repeat the process with a different detection color.
Turning the spindle clockwise increases the sensitivity of the sensor. The
signal on the bar graph is increased.
Turning the spindle counterclockwise reduces the sensitivity of the
sensor. The signal on the bar graph is reduced.

Multiturn potentiometer
A removable operating button is plugged into the multiturn potentiometer at the factory. The setting of the contrast sensor can thereby be
performed manually without the need for a tool. If this is not desired, the operating button can be pulled off. A screwdriver is then needed
for the setting.
L/D – Light/dark switching
Press the C button longer than 12s. Release the button. To change the setting again, push the button
again for longer than 12 s and release.
Only the green LED flashes. 1) Only for devices without analog output

Locking all operational controls via the IN input (Pin 5)
A static HIGH signal (≥20ms) at the IN input (Pin 5)
locks all operational controls on the sensor if required,
such that no manual operation is possible (e.g., protec-
tion from erroneous operation or manipulation).
If the input is not connected or if a static LOW signal is
being applied, all operational controls are unlocked and
can be operated freely.
