Menu structure

When the value display is visible, you can reach the main
menu by pressing the OK (Enter) key. This provides three
sub-items (Output settings, Device settings, Lock) and
enables access to all functions.

Configuring the analog outputs

Both analog outputs can be configured independently of
each other. The setting options for both outputs are
identical.
The factory default setting is to output the left edge
position (Left Obj.) on Output A1 and output the right edge
position (Right Obj.) on Output A2.
The sensor always searches for edges from outside to
inside. It is able to detect the first falling and the first rising
edge in the signal from each side ([R] and [L]). Other edges
in between are ignored. "Right" and "Left" is indicated as
on the receiver housing.
The analog outputs are configured under menu item
Analog output 1 and 2. The setting options for both
outputs are identical.

Menu item Other values
Mode See below
Output 0 to 10 V; 10 to
0 V
4 to 20 mA; 20 to
4 mA
Actual (cannot be edited) Current value
To change the mode, use the arrow keys to select the
desired mode and confirm with OK. After confirming, the
current value just obtained in the selected mode is
displayed under Actual.
Both outputs can be independently toggled between
current output (4...20 mA) or voltage output (0...10 V).
The signal direction can be inverted. The default setting for
both outputs is a rising voltage output (0...10 V).
Converting the analog voltage and current value
to mm:
The range from 0 mm up to the maximum possible value
of 48.77 mm changes linear to the output range. Where:
Voltage output: x = 4.8768
Current output:
48.768 mm
x = · (I – 4 mA) = 3.048
