Can the sensitivity of the B5W-LB's analog output be adjusted with the variable resistor?

Question:

The analog output model of the light convergent reflective type Optical Sensor B5W-LB has a variable resister. Can it adjust the sensor’s sensitivity?

Block

Answer:

You should not alter the variable resister position, which is set. Otherwise, the sensor will not meet Omron’s guaranteed product specifications.

Block

Explanation:

This variable resistor is used only for our internal inspection. It would be best if you did not alter its position, which the factory sets. Otherwise, the sensor will not meet Omron’s guaranteed product specifications.
Instead, set a threshold level for your specific application using actual objects to be sensed.
