Downloading
The installation file can be downloaded from the OPTRONIC homepage
LOAD“. Take the latest version with the highest version number that matches the interface version of your
LVMC. If you do not know the interface version, select the most recent one, i.e. the one with the letter furthest
back in the alphabet and the highest numeral. If the software does not match your LVMC, it will tell you as
soon as you try to connect to the LVMC.
Alternatively, you can download the appropriate file for interface versions A1 and A2, which are available at
the time of this document's completion, directly from one of the following links:
Interface version A1:

Any number of software versions can be installed on your PC at the same time.

Installing
Install the software on your PC by running the installer. The installer will guide you through the
installation so that it should be completed in a few seconds. If you are not logged in with ad-
ministrator rights on your PC, the installer will ask you to enter the administrator password.
During installation, you will be asked if you want to create a desktop icon. Decide for it, so that
you can start the software later comfortably by a double-click on the thereby created new icon
on your desktop.
3.3
Power Supply
Now the LVMC must be supplied with power. This can be done in two ways: Via the D-Sub connector or via
the Ethernet port.
3.3.1
Supplying Power via D-Sub Connector
For the supply via the D-Sub plug, you need a 24V DC power supply as well as a connection cable with 9-pin
D-Sub socket. Make the wiring as described in Chapter 14.
3.3.2
Supplying power with PoE via Ethernet
If you have an Ethernet switch with Power over Ethernet (PoE) functionality, you can power the LVMC directly
from this switch. To do this, connect a free PoE port to the Ethernet port of the LVMC via a network cable.
3.4
Readiness
The green status LED on the front panel indicates that the LVMC is ready for operation. The light curtain is
now ready to detect objects. If the LED remains dark, please check the power supply first. If it is red, an error
is pending. Make sure that the sensing area is free.
