3 Functions and features
The unit is used as an optical distance sensor�
3.1 Applications
• The optical distance sensor measures distances between 0�2 and 10 m�
• It has a background suppression at > 10���19 m�
• The measured value is shown in a 10-segment display�
• According to the set output functions 2 output signals can be generated�
• O1D100 / O1D120: Certification 21 CFR PART 1040
The distance between the sensor and the background must be limited
to max� 19 m by the customer� Otherwise the measured value may be
As an alternative article O1D105 can be used (the distance between
sensor and background can be max� 100 m)�
4 Functions
4.1 Output function hysteresis
The hysteresis keeps the switching state of the output stable if the measured
value varies about the sensing range� Both outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) can be set
as hysteresis function�
4.2 Output function window
The window function enables the monitoring of a defined acceptable range� Both
outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) can be set as window function�
4.3 Analogue output function
The sensor can also output an analogue signal on output 2 (OUT2) which is proportional

4.4 Switch off the laser
For safety and maintenance purposes the laser of the unit can be temporarily
switched off via the input on pin 5�
