1. Proper Use
This wenglor product has to be used according to the following functional principle:
Luminescence Sensors emit UV light with a wavelength of 380 nm. If the emitted light strikes a luminescent
object, it reflects light within a visible wavelength range of 420 – 750 nm in accordance with the utilized lumines-
cent substance. This fluorescent effect is exploited by the Luminescence Sensor in order to detect markings
which are invisible to the human eye during daylight hours.

8.1. Switching the Output Stage to and from PNP, NPN and Push-Pull
wenglor®AxP luminescence Sensors are equipped with programmable output stages. Either PNP, NPN or
Push-Pull can be selected. All outputs are reconfigured when the output stage is switched.
Activating the Output Stage Setup Mode
•Set the rotary selector switch Ýto POTI
•Press and hold the plus and minus keys
èThe LEDs at the plus and minus keys lights up
èThe LEDs at the plus and minus keys go out after 1 second
èThe switching status indicator blinks
•Release both keys, namely and 
èThe currently selected output stage operating mode is displayed (see “Table 1”)
èDepending upon the Sensor‘s current switching status, the switching status indicator blinks rhythmi-
cally after approximately 2 seconds (output switched), or lights up continuously with brief interruptions
(output not switched).

8.2. Setting the Switching Threshold with the Teach-In Function
With the help of integrated Teach-In technology, the Sensor automatically calculates appropriate settings based
upon currently acquired values and saves them to memory after the corresponding key has been activated,
or after an external control signal has been received.
Two-Point Teach-In
The marking to be recognized is first taught into the Sensor in two steps, and the background is taught in subse-
quently. The Sensor then automatically calculates the ideal switching threshold based upon these two values.
The brightness relationship of the two intensities is irrelevant as far as switching characteristics are concerned.
Sensor output A is activated when the Sensor recognizes the intensity value which was taught in first. Sensor
output A is deactivated when the Sensor recognizes the intensity value which was taught in second.

Teach in the first intensity value:
•Set the rotary selector switch Ýto TEACH DUAL
•Align the Sensor spot to the marking
•Press and hold the plus key 
èThe LED at the plus key lights up
èThe LED at the plus key goes out after 1 second and the output switching status indicator A blinks
•The LED at the plus key lights up
èThe LED at the minus key blinks
èThe intensity value of the marking is saved to buffer memory
Teach in the second intensity value:
•Align the Sensor spot to the background
•Briefly press the minus key and then release
èThe switching threshold is calculated and saved to memory
èThe LED at the minus key stops blinking
•Check for correct function
If the difference between the two acquired intensity values is too small, the output switching status indicator A
blinks rapidly for approximately 3 seconds, and switching thresholds are not updated.
Dynamic Teach-In
All intensity values from the background and the marking are continuously acquired with this function. The
ideal switching threshold is calculated based upon these values.
This function is intended for applications where the objects to be scanned move continuously at a constant
speed, and cannot be brought to a standstill within the production process.
Example 1: Recognition of luminescent adhesive strips on unprinted packaging material, which is
fed in a continuous fashion: when Teach-In operation is initialized, the spot must be
aligned to the background.
Example 2: Recognition of luminescent markings on rapidly rotating parts: dynamic Teach-In
operation can be initialized regardless of spot alignment.
Initialise recording mode operation:
•Set the rotary selector switch Ýto TEACH DYN
•Press and hold the plus key 
èThe LED at the plus key lights up
èThe LED at the plus key goes out after 1 second and the output switching status indicator A blinks
•Release the plus key
èThe LED at the minus key blinks: recording mode operation is active
èIntensity values are continuously recorded
Exit recording mode operation:
•Briefly press the minus key and then release
èRecording is stopped
èThe switching threshold is calculated and saved to memory
•Check for correct function
If the difference between the two acquired intensity values is too small, the output switching status indicator A
blinks rapidly for approximately 3 seconds, and switching thresholds are not updated.

External Teach-In
If the control panel is inaccessible, the Sensor can be configured via the external Teach-In input (pin 1).
The last Teach-In mode selected at the control panel is always active (i.e. Two-Point or dynamic Teach-In).

External Dynamic Teach-In
Objects to be scanned move at a constant speed.

the spot must be aligned to the background when the Teach-In mode is first initialised.
