Installation and environment
To attach the device only use a mounting clip, for example AY000044.
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.
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).
