OUTPUT LED (yellow) (S8…B/C/M/F) 

The yellow LED ON indicates the output status. 

POWER ON LED (green) 

The green LED ON indicates the powering status and the laser emission 
presence. 

DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT TRIMMER (ADJ.) (S8…M) 

The multiturn trimmer with clutch (8 turns) adjusts the suppression distance 
through the mechanical variation of the optic triangulation angle. 
The operating distance increases rotating the trimmer in a clockwise direction. 
Please refer to “SETTING” paragraph for the correct use procedure. 

SENSITIVITY TRIMMER (ADJ.) (S8..B/C/F) 

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 is selected using a mono-turn trimmer. 
Please refer to “SETTING” paragraph for the correct use procedure. 

WARNING: 

the maximum mechanical rotation range of the trimmer is 240°. 

Do not force over of the maximum and minimum positions. 

 

INSTALLATION 

The sensor can be positioned by means of the two housing 
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.

SETTINGS 

DARK/LIGHT SETTING

 

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

 

        

 

 

SUPPRESSION DISTANCE SETTING (S8...M)

 

1. 

Object detection (Light mode)

 

Position object to detect in front of the sensor at the distance 
required. 
Turn distance adjustment trimmer (ADJ) to minimum: yellow LED 
OFF. 
Rotate trimmer in a clockwise direction until the yellow LED turns 
ON. 

Object detection condition 

(pos.A). 

 

 

 

 

 Pos.A 

pos.B 

pos.C 

 

2. 

Background suppression

 

Remove object and ensure that the background is in front of the sensor: 
yellow LED OFF. 
Rotate trimmer in a clockwise direction until the yellow LED turns ON: 

background detection condition 

(pos.B). 

The trimmer reaches maximum level with yellow LED OFF if the 
background is outside the operating range. 
Rotate trimmer in an anticlockwise direction until yellow LED turns OFF: 

condition where background is outside operating range 

(pos.C). 

 

3. Setting  and  control 

Rotate trimmer in an anti-clockwise direction until the trimmer reaches an 
intermediate point between position A and C. 
If position A and C are close to each other, leave trimmer on position C. 
The sensor is now ready to function correctly and in stable conditions. 

 

 

 
 
 

 
 

SENSITIVITY SETTING (S8...B) 

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). 

 

 

SETTINGS (S8...C) 

Turn the sensitivity trimmer to minimum: the yellow LED is OFF (light mode). 
Position the target to detect in front of the sensor.

 

Turn the sensitivity trimmer clockwise until the yellow LED turns ON 

(Target 

detected state, pos.A). 

Remove the target, the yellow LED turns OFF. 
Turn the sensitivity trimmer clockwise until the yellow LED turns ON 

(Background 

detected state, pos.B).

 

The trimmer reaches maximum if the background is not detected. 
Turn the trimmer to the intermediate position C, between the two positions A and B.  

                              

 

MIN

MAX

 

SETTINGS (S8...F/G) 

Position the sensors on opposite sides. Turn the sensitivity trimmer to maximum. Find 
the points where the yellow LED (OUT) is switched ON and OFF in both vertical and 
horizontal positions, and fix the sensor in the centre between these points. If necessary, 
reduce sensitivity using the trimmer, in order to detect very small targets. In order to 
improve alignment, repeat the procedure detailed above whilst progressively reducing 
the sensitivity.

DIAGNOSTIC FUNCTIONS (S8…G) 

TEST+ input 

The TEST+ input can be used to inhibit the emitter and verify that the system is 
correctly operating. The TEST function is activated if the TEST+ input is connected 
to a voltage between 12…30V, whereas if the TEST+ input is connected to GND or 
it is not connected the function is disactivated.  

 

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

where installed.
