Fault indication on the photoelectric sensor array 

Fault indication 

Green LED does not light up or flickers. 

Fault cause 

Possible solution to the problem 

Sensor is still ready for operation, 
but the operating conditions are 
not ideal (operating reserve factor 
between 0.9 and 1.1)  

 

Check the operating conditions. 

 

Fully align the light beam (light spot) with the 
reflector. 

 

Clean the optical surfaces (sensor and 
reflector). 

 

Readjust the sensitivity (potentiometer)  

 

Fault indication 

Green LED does not light up. 

Fault cause 

Possible solution to the problem 

No voltage or voltage below the 
limit values 

 

Check the voltage supply, check all electrical 
connections (cables and plug connections). 

 

Establish a stable voltage supply. 

 

Sensor is defective. Replace the sensor.
