Adjusting the height of the PINDA sensor

I've just finished the kit and I can't get the PINDA sensor to move for adjustment. As it happens, the level of it is about .17 mm higher than dead flat on a cable tie. That's the thickness of two sheets of paper. It seems to me that it should be close enough to proceed. Does anyone know?

umm

The pinda sensor moves up and down - it is held by a slip collar that is tightened with a screw.   Loosen the screw, loosens the slip collar, move the sensor with your hand.  If it won't budge, loosen the screw...  Repeat.

I know how it works. I had removed the screw entirely, and it still wouldn't budge. I inserted a screwdriver into the slot from the top to pry open the clamp, and it wouldn't budge. Finally I inserted a larger screwdriver from the back side to pry open the clamp top to bottom, and the PINDA moved.

Call that one "the pursuader"

Your screwdriver has earned an achievement.  It may now be forevermore known as "the pursuader".

Don’t you mean “the Prusuader”?
