Using smaller or less efficient reflectors will reduce the maximum operating distance.</p></p> <p><strong>How do you configure the Light/Dark switching function on the WL34-V540?</strong><br><p>The Light/Dark switching function is typically selected via a control wire. Depending on how this wire is connected (e.g., to +L+ or M), the sensor will switch when the light beam is received (light-on) or interrupted (dark-on).</p></p> <p><strong>What is the purpose of the ‘Test’ input (pin 2) on the M12 connector?</strong><br><p>The test input allows for remote verification of the sensor’s functionality. Applying a specific voltage to this pin can disable the light emitter, simulating a detected object. This is useful for system diagnostics without physically blocking the sensor’s beam.</p></p> <p><em>profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller or representative of the products featured on this website.
