DIAGNOSTIC INDICATORS
• Contrast Indicator – Display scaled reading of sensor’s response to contrasting light levels (light vs. dark) on an 8 bar LED display
Note: All 8 LEDs will flash three times if contrast insufficient or too low in Two-Point AUTOSET mode.
• Red LED Output Indicator – Illuminates when the sensor’s output transistors are “ON”
Note: If Output LED flashes, a short circuit condition exists.
• Green LED Timer Indicator – Illuminates when the 10ms pulse stretch timer is enabled
• Red LED INVERT Indicator – Illuminates when INVERT is enabled

LIGHT IMMUNITY 
• Responds to sensor’s pulsed modulated light source – immune to most ambient light including indirect sunlight
