Introduction
This cost-effective smart color mark photoelectric sensor with 8~16 mm detection range employs 4-elements LED light source. Operating at 12 to 24V, the color mark sensor offers 3 detection modes, and 4 output modes. It saves color data with one click, which is pretty easy to use. The sensor provides stable detection of a variety of colors and its 4-digit LED screen displays the real-time output color data. Besides, the color photoelectric sensor comes with 4 buttons for function settings and has protection mechanisms like short-circuit protection, overload protection and polarity protection.
Screen color cannot be detected.
Light color cannot be detected.
Liquid color cannot be detected.

How to use this color mark sensor?
- Direct the sensor light source at the color to be detected at a distance of 8~16mm and press the SET button once, then the settings is done.
- Press the MODE button lightly to adjust the trigger threshold. If the detection value is higher than the set value, it will trigger; and if it is lower, it will not trigger. After setting, press the MODE button once and you can select normally open Lon and normally closed Don.
NOTE: This setting method needs to be done when 1P is selected in the C or C1 mode. The specific setting method can be adjusted by referring to the following menu.
- Press the SET and MODE button for three seconds at the same time to restore the factory settings.
Light Intensity Selection
Press the MODE button for 3 seconds to enter the menu until light intensity selection appears: R-H(strong light)/R-L(low light). Options can be switched with the UP/DOWN button.
Detection Mode Selection
- After selecting the light intensity, press the MODE button to enter the detection mode selection.
- There are three modes: C mode, MARK contrast mode and C1 mode
- Options can be switched with the UP/DOWN button.
- The default is in C mode. You can select mode according to your testing needs.
Teaching Selection
After selecting detection mode, press MODE button to make teaching selections 1P/ 2P appear.
- 1P: point at color that needs to be output and teach it once
- 2P: point at objects with two different colors to teach
Delay Mode
After selecting the required teaching, press the MODE button to enter the delay menu. The default is TOFF, which means turning off delay.
- onod: pull up/down delay at the same time
- ond: pull up the delay, and when an object color is sensed, wait a while, then output.
- oFFd: pull down the delay, keeping output after leaving the detected color area for a while. press the MODE button to select the time. (unit: ms)
After selecting, press the M button to end the setting and then return to the detection interface.
