CONTROLS 

OUTPUT LED (yellow) 

The yellow LED ON indicates the output status. 
The yellow LED blinking indicates the alarm status. 
 

POWER ON LED (green) 

The green LED ON indicates that the sensor is operating and laser emission 
is present. 
 

SENSITIVITY TRIMMER (ADJ.) 

The sensitivity and operating distance can be adjusted using this trimmer. 
See the “SETTING” paragraph for procedure indications. 
 

LIGHT/DARK TRIMMER  

The light/dark mode can be selected using this mono-turn trimmer. 
See the “SETTING” paragraph for procedure indications. 
 

WARNING: 

the maximum trimmer rotation is 240°. Do not apply excessive 

torque when adjusting. 

 

INSTALLATION 

The sensor can be positioned by means of the housing’s 
holes using two screws (M3x18 or longer, 0.8Nm 
maximum tightening torque) with washers. 
Various orientable fixing brackets to ease the sensor 
positioning are available (please refer to the accessories 
listed in the general catalogue). 
The operating distance is measured from the front 
surface of the sensor optics.

SETTING 

SENSITIVITY SETTING 

Alignment

- Position and align the sensor and reflector on opposite side at the desired 

distance. 

- Rotate sensitivity adjustment trimmer (ADJ.) to maximum point (clockwise 

direction). 

-  Move the sensor vertically and horizontally to determine the powering on and 

powering off points of the yellow LED (OUT) and fix the sensor in the middle of 
these two points. 

-  To detect very small objects, reduce the sensitivity using the specific trimmer 

(

if necessary

). Repeat procedure reducing progressively the sensitivity to 

improve alignment. 

 

Control

-  Enter object laterally in the detection area and check that the yellow LED 

turns ON (in dark mode). 

-  remove object and check that the yellow LED turns OFF immediately (in 
 dark 

mode). 

 

 

 

ALARM FUNCTION

 

The alarm output is active (ON) when the received signal remains without 
safety margin for more than 1 second (30% respect to output switching 
value) 

 

DARK/LIGHT SETTING 

LIGHT MODE SETTING 

Rotate trimmer in an anti-clockwise direction to set the LIGHT mode (output 
ON with the reflector).

 

DARK MODE SETTING  

Rotate trimmer in a clockwise direction to set the DARK mode (output ON 
in presence of the object).

SAFETY WARNINGS 

All the safety electrical and mechanical regulations and laws have to be 
respected during sensor functioning. The sensor has to be protected against 
mechanical damages.  
Place the given labels in a visible position close to the laser emission. 

 
 
 
 

The sensors are NOT safety devices, and so MUST NOT be used in the safety control of the machines 

where installed.
