Five Never Fail Teach Modes

Teach Modes

■ Five teach modes available

– Two-point teach (default)

– Dynamic teach

– Window set

– Light set

– Dark set

Never Fail a Teach

■ Sensor will never fail a teach mode

– Always sets a switch point

– Example: In two-point teach mode, if both conditions are at the same signal level, the threshold will be set slightly below the two taught conditions

– See manual for specific behaviors

Never Fail Teach Modes

■ Two Point Teach

– The sensor centers the switch point between two taught conditions.

■ Dynamic Teach

– Dynamic TEACH sets a single switching threshold during machine run conditions. at the optimum level.

■ Window Set

– Window set sets a sensing window using the window offset percentage

■ Light Set

– Light set sets a switching threshold a user-selectable percent offset below the presented condition.

■ Dark Set

– Dark set sets a switching threshold a user-selectable percent offset above the presented condition.
