Area Detection Mode
■ % calibration (not available for the LV-S31)
This mode is suited to detecting the received light intensity only of a certain range.
This is a calibration method that can set the setting value by percentage with
reference to the received light intensity at the time of sensitivity setting. For

Received light intensity

example, if the target value is set to –10P, the setting value is determined 10%
lower than the received light intensity when the SET button is pressed.
By regularly performing external calibration from the device such as a PLC,
even a little sensitivity difference can be steadily detected.
Note
The % calibration function cannot be used when the DSC function is turned
on or the zero datum calibration is being used.
