CONTROLS 

OUTPUT LED (yellow) 

The yellow LED indicates the output status. 

READY LED (green) (S8W) 

The green LED ON indicates normal functioning. 

POWER ON LED (green) (S8T) 

The green LED ON indicates the powering status. 

SET PUSH-BUTTON (S8W) 

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 (S8W) 

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

SENSITIVITY TRIMMER (ADJ.) (S8T) 

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

LIGHT/DARK TRIMMER (S8T) 

The light/dark mode is selected by a monoturn trimmer. 

 

Please refer to “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.

S8W SETTING 

ACQUISITION

 

S8T SETTING 

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. 

 

 

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. 

 
 

 

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. 

 

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). 

 

 

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.

 

 

DELAY SETTING 

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

Delay activation

  

-

 

Rotate trimmer in an anti-clockwise direction. 

 
Delay deactivation

  

-

 

Rotate trimmer in a clockwise direction. 

 

 

 

 

LIGHT/DARK MODE 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).

OTHER FUNCTIONS

 

S8W – 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 pus-
button, connected to GND or not connected is equal to not pressing the SET 
push-button. 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

S8T – ALARM output

 

The alarm output is active (ON) when the received signal remains without 
safety margin for 0.5 second (30% respect to output switching value). 

 
 
 
 

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

the machines where installed.
