Setup Instructions
Simple Setup Start Put the Gap
in view, press and hold the AUTOSET/GAP
button for two seconds, "Gap Set" will be
displayed when complete. This will result in
a perfect setup 99% of the time. If you have
any false triggers, put the Label in view,
push and hold the AUTOSET/LABEL button
for two seconds, "Label Set" will be
displayed when complete. This two-point
setup will create a new threshold setting
resulting in a more consistent signal span
between web and label.
Note: Sensor is shipped with a protective
plastic covering for the display. Remove
protective covering for clearer viewing.
Label Position
Align Label to Arrow (above)
Place the label web so that it is
centered on the arrow. The arrow is
where the transducers are aligned.
Align Gap to Line (right top)
Place label gap in center of the
sensor using the alignment line as
shown on right. When viewing from
the top of the sensor, use the output
LED to center label gap.
Gentle Tension (right bottom)
Place label webbing so that it slides
along the bottom of the sensor gap
plate. This will ensure a more
consistent setup and performance.
