♦ 8 Remote Access Memory Settings!

The FX-CM sensors have a built in eight step memory which
can store eight different color settings.
This memory settings can be accessed remotely from a PLC

Make sure that the sensing side of the sensor is parallel with the surface of the sensing
object. Normally, do not incline the sensor towards the sensing object.
The sensor is to be placed at least 10mm away from any glossy or reflective surface.
