Installation and Assembly
optoCONTROL CLS1000

Installation of the Sensor
Various sensors are available for the optoCONTROL CLS1000
This makes it possible to use an optimal probe head, even in restricted spaces.
No sharp or heavy objects should be allowed to affect the cables and optical fibers. Always avoid
folding the cables and optical fiber.
> Damage to or destruction of the cables and/or optical fiber, failure of the sensor
Do not bend more tightly than the bending radius of the optical fiber of 18 mm (3 x Ø the cable diam-
eter). Do not use any cable ties to tighten the sensor.
> Breakage of the optical fiber, impairment of switching behavior
Do not touch the front surface of the sensor.
> Functionality impaired due to contamination
Install the optical fiber to the provided socket of controller and lock it using the retainer nut.

Position the probe head of the sensor in the necessary position relative to the target.

Take background reflections into account when doing so. Objects in the background can influence the measure-
ment; highly glossy surfaces have the greatest effect on the measurement
Do not install multiple optical fiber probe heads directly next to one another.
> Mutual influence, imprecise measurement values
