※Control wire is only for Diffuse reflective/Narrow beam reflective/Retroreflective type.
※If short-circuit the control output terminal or supply current over the rated specification, normal control signal is not output due to the
output short over current protection circuit.

Installation and Sensitivity Adjustment

Install the sensor to the desired place and check the connections. Supply the power to the sensor and adjust the optical
axis and the sensitivity as following.
When using photoelectric sensors closely over two units, it may result in malfunction due to mutual interference.
When installing the product, tighten the screw with a tightening torque of 0.39N.m for BRP and to 14.7N.m for BR.
