Today, Wuxi Rihuan Sensor Technology Co., Ltd. will introduce to you that if the light intensity of the optical fiber sensor is too low, don't rush to replace it. Two simple steps can easily increase the light intensity! 

During the daily use of optical fiber sensors, many users have encountered such a problem: although the object being detected is right in front of the sensor, the amount of light entering the sensor is only a few tens to a few hundreds, which leads to unstable detection signals and makes them mistakenly believe that the sensor has malfunctioned. In fact, this is not a problem with the equipment itself, but rather it is likely that some minor details in the settings have been overlooked. 

In response to this common confusion, we have compiled two simple and practical adjustment methods to help users quickly increase the light intake and restore stable detection. 

The first method: Enter the Pro1 menu, select the "SPED" option, and switch it to the appropriate mode. After adjustment, the light intensity can increase from the original several hundred to over four thousand, with a significant effect. 

The second method can also be found in the Pro1 menu under the gear settings. This option is divided into four gears: lowest gear, medium gear, high gear and automatic gear. The system usually defaults to the lowest gear. Users can manually switch to the high gear and further increase the percentage setting. At this time, the light intake displayed on the left will also rise synchronously, easily reaching an ideal value of over 4,000. 

Insufficient light intake directly affects the stability and reliability of the detection. Properly adjusting the gears and modes is often more efficient and cost-effective than replacing the equipment.
