LOAD FACTORY SETT.
With the „LOAD FACTORY SETT.” switch the factory settings are loaded into the RAM of the
Sensor.
Auto Gain Level
This control is to change the factory preset level of 70%.
Button Tolerances 8
With this controls the default tolerance values for the 5 possible steps can be changed. The
assignment to the 5 blinking impulses is as follows.
Tolerance Step (T.S.) Blinking impulses Factory Tolerance Value
0 1 3
1 2 6
2 3 9
3 4 15
4 5 20
The left tolerance values operate in the processing mode “CHECK SPH”. In the operating mode
“CHECK CYL.” the right tolerance controls are additionally active. The can be used to change
the brightness tolerances.
To adopt the adjusted tolerances the “SET” button must be pushed.
HINWEIS:
In the processing mode “CLASSIFY” the tolerance controls are inactive.
EXT. TEACH BEHAVIOR
There are different ways of using the running mode “EXT. TEACH”. If the checkbox “AUTO
INCREMENT” is activated, the new color will be added as new entry of the internal color-table.
If it’s disabled, the last valid color-value will be overwritten.
The function “KEEP PREVIOUS TOLERANCES” is only useful with disabled “AUTO
INCREMENT”. It overwrites the color-values and keeps the old tolerance-values of the tableentry.
If this checkbox is disabled, default tolerances are used.
The button “SET” sends the new properties to the sensor.
SET HYSTERESIS
This function guarantees a stable operation of the sensor system. It is recommended to chose a
high hysteresis value if the signal quality is poor in order to prevent the signal processing from
instability (“flutter”). The value for hysteresis can be set by pressing “SET HYSTERESIS“. The
value adjusted in the field “HYSTERESIS VALUE“ will be set. The value are percentages of the
pre-defined tolerances in the color table (refer to sect. 3.2.3).
