Note: 1) When the 4th operation mode selector switch on the projector is set to OFF, the input (pink) is for the work indicator lamp; when the switch is set to ON, it is for the projector stop input.
2) To use the work indicator light as a large work status display light, connect the input (pink) on the projector to the output (black) on the receiver.
3) When the projector stop input is set, the work indicator light will not turn on or will flash.

4	Work Indicator Light / Projector Stop Switch	Work Indicator Light Input	Stop Light Input

(2) Work Indicator Light Operation Selection
● The operation of the work indicator light can be used as a mode selection switch for the work indicator light.

Work Indicator Light Mode Selector Switch	Work Indicator Light Operation
	NPN Output Type	PNP Output Type	NPN Output Type	PNP Output Type
	Operation indicator input: Low	Operation indicator input: High	Operation indicator input: High	Operation indicator input: Low
	Light up		Off
	Off		Light up
	Light up		Blink
	Off		Blink

Work Indicator Light Input Signal Conditions

Output	Signal	Signal Conditions
NPN Output Type	Low	0 to 2 V
NPN Output Type	High	5 to 30 V or open circuit (If open circuit, please insulate the wire)
PNP Output Type	Low	0 to 2 V or open circuit (If open circuit, please insulate the wire)
PNP Output Type	High	8 V~+V

● When using the work indicator light as a large work status indicator
By setting the 4th operation mode switch to the OFF position and connecting the input (pink) on the emitter to the output (black) on the receiver, the work indicator light can be used as a large work status indicator.

Work Indicator Light Operation Mode Switch	When Light Enters	When not illuminated
	Light up	Off
	Off	Light up
	Light up	Blink
	Off	Blink

(Note 1): If you use the operation indicator as a large work status indicator, please make sure to set the 4th operation mode switch to the OFF position. If it is set to ON, the operation indicator will not light up or flash.

● Emission Stop Function
When the 4th operation mode switch is set to ON and the input (pink) on the emitter is High (PNP output type: Low), emission stops. Since the output can be set to ON/OFF when there is no detected object, this function can be used for initial detection. It can be determined as normal when the output tracks the ON/OFF input according to the light projection. If it does not track, it can be determined as a sensor abnormality.

Work Mode Switch Setting

OFF	ON

(3) Anti-interference function
Since different emission frequencies are set, two sets of sensors can be installed close to each other as shown below. You can check the projection frequency by the number of LEDs lit on the projector indicator.

Anti-interference Function

	Operating Mode Switch Status	Floodlight Display Lamp (Floodlight)
Sensor A	Frequency A	1 LED lights up
Sensor B	Frequency B	Two LEDs are lit

(2) About Optical Axis Adjustment
a) Place the emitter and receiver facing each other in a straight line.
b) After properly connecting the cables, turn on the power.
c) Move the transmitter up, down, left, and right, and use the operation status indicator (red) to determine the light receiving range. Then, set the transmitter at the center of this range.
d) Move the transmitter up, down, left, and right in terms of angle, and adjust in the same way as above.
e) Adjust the receiver angle in the same way.
f) Check if the stable light indicator (green) is on.
g) Block the optical axis with the actual object to be detected and confirm if it is working properly.
