Warning
Indicates that incorrect use may lead to a hazard-
ous situation resulting in injury or death. Also indi-
cates a risk of signicant property damage.
Warning
●This product is not explosion-proof and should not be used around ammable or explosive gases or liquids.
●Doing so may cause injury, re, or electric shock. This product cannot be used as protective equipment
for the purpose of protecting the human body.
Caution
●It is dangerous to wire or attach/remove the connector while the power is on. Make sure to turn off the
power before operation.
●Installing in the following locations may result in malfunction:
1. Dusty or steamy locations. 3. Locations with direct exposure to water or oil
splashes.
2. Locations where corrosive gas is generated. 4. Locations where heavy vibrations or impacts
may occur.
●The product is not designed for outdoor use.
●Do not wire with high voltage cables or power lines. Doing so may cause malfunction or damage by
induction.
●Detection characteristics may vary depending on the state of the target object and variations among
individual products.
●Do not use the product in water.
●Do not disassemble, repair, or modify this product. Doing so may cause injury, re, or electric shock.
●Operate within the rated ranges.

Sets the area upper and lower limit hysteresis.
Setting a value of 1 is equivalent to 0.1% of the entire screen (area value: 9999).
Color lter
COLRFIL
0 to 3
(0)
0, 2: Calculates the RGB ratio per pixel. Resistant to shadows and un-
even illumination, but not suitable for achromatic (black and white) use. (2:

1, 3: Brightness is corrected based on the right edge of the screen. Suit-
able for detection of black and gray. (3: 2x brightness)
Color margin

0 to 127
(20)
The following values will be automatically registered when teaching.
Color range within the teaching area × TEACH%÷ 10
• Set a smaller value to detect subtle color differences (5 to 20).
• Set a larger value to increase stability. (20 or higher)
