Installation/Setup Procedures
Mechanical Installation Electrical Installation
Use the sensor's two mounting holes, which are .144" ( 3.66 mm ) in diameter and spaced on 1.00"
( 25.4 mm ) centers, to fasten the sensor securely to a bulkhead or bracket.

Multiple units must be spaced at least 40 mm apart, laterally, and, as a general rule, expanded sensing elements must be spaced a minimum of the sensor diameter away from each other.

     Your sensor's electrical connections must agree with those shown in the wiring diagram above.
Setup Procedure
Connect a DC voltmeter between the output lead of the sensor and ground.

With no target present, turn the adjustment potentiometer fully clockwise (CW). The voltmeter should read greater than 6 volts. Then, turn the pot counterclockwise (CCW) until the voltage drops to approximately 3 volts.

Place the intended target material in the sensing field and adjust for the desired voltage outputs, with respect to the variations you wish to monitor.
