How to adjust sensitivity of the Non-contact sensor?

Steps:

  • Remove the back cover of the sensor
  • Locate the sensitivity knob inside
  • Use a small screwdriver to turn the knob

Direction:

  • Counter-clockwise → Increases sensitivity
  • Clockwise → Decreases sensitivity

Important Caution:
Imagine the screw as a clock face — do not rotate more than 5 minutes' worth at a time (i.e., no more than 30° of rotation per adjustment).

Why small adjustments?

  • Prevents over-correction
  • Allows you to test the sensor's response between adjustments
  • Avoids damaging the internal potentiometer
  • Helps you fine-tune to the ideal sensitivity gradually

Tip: After each small adjustment, test in place and check the sensor's behavior before making further changes. If needed, repeat the 5-minute adjustment until optimal sensitivity is reached.
