1. Adjust the installation position: After the wire is connected and energized, carefully adjust the installation position to make the light point projected on the surface of the measured object the clearest and brightest.
2. In general, turning the sensitivity knob clockwise can make the green light (OUT2) on, and counterclockwise turning the red light (OUT1) on.
a. Aim the light spot at the darker (darker) color block (usually the color mark) on the measured surface, adjust the sensitivity knob so that the green light is just off, and remember the position of the knob at this time (assuming it is noted as A).
b. Then aim the light point at the lighter (bright) color block (usually the base color), adjust the sensitivity knob counterclockwise, so that the green light is just off, remember the position of the knob at this time (assuming it is recorded as B).
c. Then adjust the knob to the middle position of A and B.
Note that because the sensitivity adjustment is a multi-turn potentiometer, in addition to noting the positions of A and B, it is also necessary to remember how many turns A to B have been rotated, and then retreat to the middle number of turns from A to B.

How to adjust the photoelectric head offset of the Banner sensor - photoelectric sensor?
The photoelectric head of a photoelectric sensor is a precision device, and misalignment can seriously affect the measurement results. This usually happens when external forces interfere with it, such as when the sensor position is shifted due to excessive force during cable construction. At this point, the position of the photohead needs to be readjusted.
How to adjust: ...
