INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

 

CONTROLS 

OUTPUT LED (yellow) 

The yellow LED indicates the output status. 

READY LED (green) 

The green LED ON indicates normal functioning. 

SET PUSH-BUTTON (S8…W03/T53) 

The acquisition procedure is activated by pressing the SET push-button. 
The control obtained with the SET push-button can be made externally with 
the REMOTE input. 

DELAY TRIMMER (S8-W03) 

The digital output’s delay is selected/deselected by a monoturn trimmer. 

LIGHT/DARK TRIMMER (S8-T53) 

The sensitivity and thus the operating distance are adjusted by a monoturn 
trimmer. 

Please refer to the “SETTING” paragraph for the correct use procedures. 

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. 
S8W - Mark detection on a reflective 
surface is improved adjusting the 
beam direction to 5° … 20° from surface axis.

S8-W03 SETTINGS 

ACQUISITION 

S8-T53 SETTINGS 

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT 

Mark Detection 

The DARK/LIGHT mode is automatically selected by the 
sensor. 
Place mark in front of the sensor spot and press SET until 
the green READY LED turns off. 
The sensor functions alternating red, green and blue 
emissions. 
Do not move the mark during this phase. 
 
 

Background Detection 

Place background in front of the sensor spot and press 
SET again. 
The sensor functions alternating red, green and blue 
emissions. 
Do not move the background during this phase. 
 
 
If the READY LED turns permanently ON the acquisition 
was successful. If the LED blinks slowly the acquisition 
failed due to insufficient contrast. Press SET and the 
sensor returns to the previous setting. Repeat procedure 
from the beginning. 

Alignment and Sensitivity Adjustment 

- Positioning and align the sensor and the 

reflector on opposite side at the desired 
distance. 

- 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. 

-  Press SET push-button until the green READY 

LED turns off. The sensor adjusts the 
sensitivity. If the READY LED turns 
permanently ON the acquisition was 
successful. If the LED blinks the acquisition 
failed due to insufficient contrast. Press SET 
and the sensor returns to the previous setting. 
Verify alignment between sensor and reflector 
and the operative distance before repeat 
procedure from the beginning. 
If the signal that returns from the reflector is too 
high (saturated), the sensor sets the sensitivity 
to minimum and functions normally, however 
signalling this condition by the READY LED 
blinking slowly. In this case the sensor may not 
detect some transparent objects. You can 
press SET for 1s to make the READY LED 
stop blinking. 

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). 

 

 

 

 

DELAY OFF SETTING 

The DELAY OFF extends the minimum output 
activation to 20 ms allowing the slower interface 
systems to detect also shorter pulses. 
 

Delay Off Activation 

Rotate trimmer fully counter-clockwise. 

 

Delay Off Deactivation 

Rotate trimmer fully clockwise. 

 

LIGHT/DARK MODE SETTING 

Light Mode Setting 

Rotate trimmer fully counter-clockwise to set the 
LIGHT mode (output ON with the reflector). 
 

Dark Mode Setting 

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

 

 

 

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

 

REMOTE INPUT 
The REMOTE signal carries-out acquisition functions without using the SET push-
button. 
The REMOTE wire connected to +Vdc is equal to pressing the SET push-button; 
connected to GND or not connected is equal to not pressing the SET push-button. 
 

S8-W: 

 
 
 
 
 
 

 

In the W00 version, the REMOTE input is also used for: 
-  Activation/deactivation of Delay Off (S8-W00) 
The current setting of the Delay Off can be changed by connecting the REMOTE 
wire to +Vdc for at least 2sec (until the yellow LED blinks). The yellow LED blinks 
slowly if the Delay Off is active, blinks quickly if deactivated. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

S8-T: 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

In the T50 version, the REMOTE input is also used for: 
-  Acquisition in LIGHT mode (S8-T50) 
To activate this function, the REMOTE wire must be connected to +Vdc for at least 
2sec (until the yellow LED blinks). 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS (S8-T53)

 

KEYLOCK FUNCTION (keyboard lock) 

The KEYLOCK function (keyboard lock) allows to deactivate the keyboard 
avoiding accidental changes in the sensor setting. 
If at sensor powering the REMOTE wire is connected to +Vdc for at least 1 s., the 
keyboard lock function is activated and the push-buttons are no longer active. 
To deactivate the keyboard lock, the sensor must be turned off and repowered 
with the REMOTE wire not connected or connected to GND. 
 

THRESHOLD AUTO-ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION 

The sensor provides threshold auto-adjustment function. If the received signal 
decreases/increases due to dirty optical lens or reflector, or for cleaning, the 
sensor adjusts automatically the commutation threshold to avoid continuous 
cleaning of optical parts (after 1 minute of low/high signal). If the received signal is 
too low to be adjusted by the sensor, the output turns on and it is necessary to 
clean the optical parts. 
At sensor powering, if the received signal is a lot higher than the switching 
threshold (e.g. after reflector cleaning), the sensor after 1s automatically adjusts 
the switching threshold. 

 
 

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

the machines where installed.
