INSTRUCTION MANUAL 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

CONTROLS 

OUTPUT LED (yellow) 

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.) 

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 the “SETTING” paragraph for the correct procedure. 
 

TEACH-IN PUSH-BUTTON 

The push-button allows acquiring the background. 
Please refer to the “SETTING” paragraph for the correct procedure. 
 
 

INSTALLATION 

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

 
 

 
 
In the presence of moving backgrounds 
like conveyor belts, especially having a 
dark or shiny surface, the best object 
detection performance can be obtained 
by mounting the sensor at an angle 
(max 30°) with respect to the horizontal 
plane, as shown in the figure.

SETTING 

LIGHT/DARK MODE SETTING 

 

LIGHT MODE setting 

Connect the LIGHT/DARK signal (white wire) to 0V or leave unconnected. 
The output is ON with the object in the sensing area and OFF on the 
background. 

DARK MODE setting 

Connect the LIGHT/DARK signal (white wire) to +VDC. 

The output is OFF with the object in the sensing area and ON on the 
background. 

 

BACKGROUND ACQUISITION PROCEDURE 

The S8-PH…M53 sensor allows detection of shiny objects without the false commutations typical of traditional background suppression sensors. To function 
correctly it is necessary to perform the Background Acquisition Procedure at power up as described below. 
 

1. 

Activation Background Acquisition Procedure: press TEACH-IN push-button for 1 sec until OUT LED (yellow) turns OFF.  

The output (black wire) turns OFF and the yellow LED signals the commutations of a standard background suppressor.

 

2. 

Background suppression from the detection area (CUT-OFF): position the sensor in front of the background at a distance within its Operating Range. 

Turn the Distance Adjustment Trimmer in a clockwise direction until OUT LED (yellow) turns ON, then turn in a counter clockwise direction to turn 
OFF yellow OUT LED (Background 

NOT

 Detected Condition).

 

3. 

Background Acquisition: press TEACH-IN push-button for 1 sec. The sensor acquire the background. Successful Background Acquisition is indicated 

by a short blink of the laser emitter. If the yellow LED blinks, the background acquisition procedure has failed. 
Press TEACH-IN push-button in the counter-clockwise direction and repeat the procedure from step 2. 

 

Hysteresis setting 

After background acquisition detection, the sensor is ready to detect any object that passes through the detection area. To obtain the best working for the 
application it is possible select 4 hysteresis levels. During the hysteresis setting the yellow OUT LED blinks with different frequency to indicate the hysteresis 
level and the digital output indicate the sensor’s commutation.  
 

1. 

Position the sensor in front of the background  

2. 

Press TEACH-IN push-button for 3 sec until OUT LED (yellow) turns ON. The yellow OUT LED start to blink with different frequency depending from 

the hysteresis level: 

 

OUT LED BLINKING 

HYSTERESIS 

BACKGROUND FEATURE 

SLOW 

LOW 

Stable background and optimum clear and shiny objects reading 

MIDDLE SLOW 

MIDDLE LOW 

Little variable background and good clear and shiny objects reading 

MIDDLE FAST 

MIDDLE HIGH 

Moving background and good clear and shiny objects reading 

FAST 

HIGH 

Moving and color variable background and reading of almost all clear and shiny objects 

 

3. 

Verify the there are not false commutation on the background through digital output, otherwise pass on upper hysteresis level pressing the push-button 

for 1 sec. 

4. 

Press the TEACH-IN push-button for 3 sec (OUT LED turns OFF and then turns ON) to confirm the hysteresis level. Successful hysteresis setting is 

indicated by a short blink of the laser emitter. 

5. 

Verify the clear and shiny objects reading.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS 

AUTO-ADAPTIVE FUNCTION 

During normal operation, a commutation threshold auto-adjustment function is 
active. At intervals of 1 minute from the last acquisition, the sensor checks if 
the background signal has changed significantly, and if necessary, updates 
the commutation value. This function compensates for slow variations of the 
background caused for example by surface deterioration over time, and 
therefore avoids repeating the manual background acquisition procedure 
periodically. 

 
 
 
 

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

the machines where installed.
