7.8. I/O test
This function manually changes the output of the sensor. It can be used to test whether the further process
functions as required. The test is terminated automatically when exiting the test menu. This also occurs auto-
matically if no button has been pressed for a period of 10 minutes.

Measured value: Specification of a measured value in µm.
Status bits: By pressing the button "+" or "-" the number of the status bit to be
set can be selected (see list of status bits).
Warm-up: Setting the warm-up to "ok" or "warm-up".
Signal Strength: Setting the signal strength to "ok", "too low" or "too high".
Temperature: Setting the temperature to "ok", "too low" or "too high".
List of status bits:
Number Function Description when the bit is set Measured value output
1 General error One of the following bits is set. —
2Object distance too small The current measured value is below the
working range.
Measurement range
minimum
3 Object distance too large The current measured value is above the
working range.
Measurement range
maximum
4 No signal The sensor does not detect any object in
the working range.
Measurement range
maximum
5 Signal strength too low The sensor is not returned enough light
from an object (e.g. very dark surface).
This results in a decrease in the quality of
the measured value.
Current measured value
6 Signal strength too high The sensor is returned too much light from
an object (e.g. reflector). This results in a
decrease in the quality of the measured
value.
Current measured value
7 Warm-up process The sensor is in the warm-up phase and
the quality of the measured value is still
outside the technical specifications. See
page 5 bottom.
Current measured value
8 Temperature too high The sensor is at the upper limit of its
temperature range. If the temperature
continues to increase the sensor may be
destroyed.
Current measured value
9 Temperature too low The sensor is at the lower limit of its
temperature range. If the temperature
continues to decrease the sensor may be
destroyed.
