Installation and environment
Two nuts are included to attach the device.
The maximum tightening torque of 1Nm must not be exceeded!
Coverings on the optics impair the function. Please install the device in such a way that dust cannot be deposited or
liquids can get on the optics. The device should be accessible for cleaning.
From time to time, the optics should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with soapy water.
Cable
The connecting cable between sensor and M8-connector should be laid as fixed as possible or strain-relieved.
Adjustment
Mount the device by taking into account the sensing range, so that the object is reliably detected. In case of reliable
detection, the LED lights up green.
If the LED lights up yellow, the device is in an insecure area. The cause may be an object that is too far away or even
soiling.
There should be no other objects than the one to be detected within the detection area or its border.
The sensing range is adjustable between 30 and 100mm (90% reflectivity) by a teach-in-procedure.
1.
Install the sensor at the required position and bring the object to be detected into the beam path within the
specified operating range.
2.
Connect the white wire (PIN 2) to the operating voltage (brown wire, PIN 1).
3.
As soon as the LED starts to flash yellow, disconnect the connection.
4.
The desired sensing range is set.
5.
If the distance to the object is more than 100mm, the maximum operating range is automatically set.
Note
The devices respond to the intensity of the light that is reflected of any object. The nominal switching distances are
based on white paper with an area of 100 x 100mm. The possible detection ranges for less reflective materials can be
found in the table "sensing range". The switching distance increases with more reflective materials (e.g. polished
aluminum).
