Automatic Material Setup

This chapter describes the normal procedure for saving the bright / dark values.

You have to perform the material setup for each edge sensor (sensor 1, sensor 2) separately.
  1. Remove any material that may be present from the connected edge sensors and clean the sensor scanning areas.
  1. Select the desired sensor by pressing the respective key Sensor 1 or Sensor 2.
  • The LED of the key will illuminate.
  1. Activate the automatic material setup (see Activating the Material Setup).
  • The adjacent screen appears in the display (here with Sensor 1 selected). The animation shows the operating steps necessary for generating the bright / dark values:
  • The hand moves the material into the sensor scanning area (dark value) and back out again (bright value).
  1. Completely clear the selected sensor's scanning area (no material in the scanning area).
  • The bright value measured is displayed.
  1. Completely cover the selected sensor's scanning area with the material to be scanned for at least 2 seconds.
  • The dark value measured is displayed.
  1. Press the button.
  • The material setup for the selected sensor is completed.
  • The bright / dark values determined are saved.
  • The setup menu is displayed.
