  • Patent number: 11796712
    Abstract: A sensor for detecting objects within a monitoring range, with sensor components and an evaluation unit (9). An object detection signal is generated in the evaluation unit (9) in dependence upon sensor signals from sensor components. A selector unit and an input interface (11) with mechanical setting element are provided, wherein a selection of a parameter set is made in the selector unit (10) from a number of preconfigured parameter sets in dependence upon a setting configuration of the mechanical setting element of the input interface. The selected parameter set is adopted for the functioning of the sensor.
