 CONNECTIONS SETTING
The connections are compliant to the EN 60947-5-2 standard. No sensor setting is necessary.
The user has to select the direct or inverse proportionality of the output
M12 CONNECTOR respect to the object’s distance inside the operating field.
This is obtained by means of the DIR/INV input.
