In this manual, the value at which the sensor amplifier's ON/OFF output switches is
expressed as the "setting value". The process of adjusting the setting value is expressed
as "adjusting the sensitivity". This section explains the method of adjusting the sensitivity.
(2) Calibration
The sensitivity can be adjusted with simple operations. The received light intensity is
not compensated.
This method is used to adjust without calibrating the received light intensity, or when
highly accurate detection is required.
Calibration can be performed in the preset state.

Basic Operation
(1) Preset
At the same time as adjusting the sensitivity, the received light intensity can be
calibrated to "" or "" using simple operations.
This method can decrease the variation of the received light intensity depending on
the contents of the detection and the workpiece, and is useful for predictive
maintenance.
However, this is not suitable for when difference in received light intensity varies little
with or without a workpiece, such as when detecting a transparent workpiece.

Description
To detect a falling workpiece.
The falling edge of the received light intensity is
detected, and output as one-shot.
The received light intensity hold value can be confirmed by pressing the [MODE] button twice on the
output 1 screen.
To use the external input and periodically compensate for the reduction in received light intensity due
to contamination on sensor head face.
A decrease in the light-ON mode's received light
intensity can be detected and output to an external
source by using the 2-output type's output 2.
To use the external input and "0" the light intensity
received without a workpiece present.
The background received light intensity is set as 0
even when calibrating with the buttons on the display.
(Zero Shift calibration)
To 0 the lower of level received light intensity values
in order to display higher values of received light
intensity.
The display can be extended up to 5 digits by pressing the [MODE] button twice on the output 1 screen.
This is recommended when outputting within a specific received light intensity range. When the [SET]
button is pressed once at the reference received light
intensity, the upper/lower setting value limits will be
set at 10% from the reference received light intensity.
This is recommended when detecting a transparent
workpiece. The received light intensity at the state
with no workpiece is set as "", and the displayed
value is increased as the amount of light blocked by
the workpiece increases.
When the [SET] button is pressed or when calibrated
with external inputs, the received light intensity -5%
at that point is set as the setting value.

Interference Prevention
Refer to page 4-2 "System Settings (SYS)" for setting methods.
Malfunction may result from "interference", a phenomenon in which light transmission
occurs simultaneously with any other sensor amplifier.
However, when the number of sensor amplifiers increases, the light transmission
timing automatically shifts and prevents this interference.
Setting this function to "FQD." (Double) on all of the connected amplifier units doubles
the number units that do not mutually interfere.

Function in brief
Over counter 1
Turns ON at a value higher than the setting. The count continues until reset.*
Over counter 2
The output turns ON only when the value is the same as the
setting value. The count continues until reset.*
Auto reset
Outputs one-shot when the value is the same as the setting
value. The count value is automatically reset. The one-shot
time (5JQV) can be set within the range of to (ms).
Default: 10 ms
* When the counter value reaches 9999 (maximum value), 9999 is held thereafter.

*1 The input time is 25 ms (ON) / 25 ms (OFF) only when external calibration input is selected.
*2 Increases 30 mW (1 mA) for HIGH SPEED Mode
*3 When expanding, always install on a DIN rail (installed on the metal plate), and keep the output current to 20 mA / unit or
less. When expanding units, the working ambient temperature will change according to the following conditions:
1 or 2 units connected: - 20 to + 55 C; 3 to 10 units connected: - 20 to + 50 C; 11 to 16 units connected: - 20 to + 45 C
When using the 2 output type, one unit is counted as 2 units.
*4 When connecting 9 or more expansion units, ensure that the power voltage is 20 V or more.
*5 It increases by 15% when connected to the LV-NH100/NH110/NH300. It dose not include the power consumption of the load.
Power consumption when expansion units are connected is the total power consumption of each amplifier unit.
Example: When one main unit (LV-N11N) is connected to 2 expansion units (LV-N12N) and they are used with LV-NH100 heads in
HIGH SPEED mode.
(1.15u860 mW u 1) + (1.15u860 mW u 2) = max. 2967 mW
