TiM31x
Indended use
The TiM31x laser scanner is an intelligent sensor for invis-
ibly detecting objects in areas to be monitored (fields). It is
designed for portable or stationary use indoors in standalone
operation, with a range of up to 4 m. Combined actuation via
the four switching inputs activates one of the 16 field sets
as an evaluation case for field monitoring. Each configurable
field set offers three origin-oriented, partially overlapping
fields of uniform shape, but with different sizes. Field sets
with fixed or freely definable shapes are available. The
TiM31x signals detected field infringements in relation to the
three fields through a combination of three switching outputs.
The TiM31x is available in both a PNP and an NPN variant.
The NPN variant is identified by S02 in the type code on the
type label.
The purpose of this instruction manual is to allow you to put
the TiM31x into operation quickly and easily with predefined
field sets, and to achieve the first detection results.
Further information concerning mechanical and electrical
installation can be found in the
&
Technical Information
(no. 8014318). This can be accessed on the TiM31x product
web page
.
Safety information
• Read these instructions before commissioning the TiM31x
in order to familiarize yourself with the device and its
functions.
• Mounting and electrical installation are to be performed
only by qualified technicians.
• Electrical connections between the TiM31x and other
devices may only be connected or disconnected when
the system is not live. Otherwise, the devices could suffer
damage.
• Select and design conductor cross sections of the supply
cable from the customer's power system in accordance
with the applicable standards. If the supply voltage for the
TiM31x is not fed via the optional CDB730-001 connection
module, protect the TiM31x with an external 0.8 A delay-
action fuse at the start of the supply cable.
• All electrical circuits connected to the TiM31x must be
designed as SELV circuits (
S
afety
E
xtra
L
ow
V
oltage).
• Only use the device under permitted ambient conditions
(e.g. temperature, ground potential) (
).
• Protect the TiM31x from moisture and dust when the cover
of the USB socket is open. So as to adhere to the IP 65
enclosure rating during operation, the black rubber plate
must be flush mounted on the housing.
• Do not open the TiM31x’s screw connection housing,
as doing so will invalidate any warranty claim against
SICK AG.
• The TiM31x does not constitute personal protection equip-
ment in accordance with the respective applicable safety
standards for machines.
Commissioning and configuration
Step 1: Electrical installation
Connect the TiM31x as followed, depending on the plug type
on the black connecting cable:
1. Connect the 15-pin D-Sub HD plug of the connecting cable
to the corresponding socket on the CDB730-001 connec-
tion module.
–
or
–
Connect the 12-pin M12 plug of the connecting cable to a
customer-provided connection box.
To do so, make a connection box with a 12-pin socket. This
is used like the connection module to connect the supply
voltage, and for signal routing of the switching inputs and
outputs (refer to the “Electrical installation” chapter in the
&
Technical Information (no. 8014318)
).
2. Connect the TiM31x’s Micro USB socket (behind the black
rubber plate on the side) to a free USB socket (type A) on
the PC using a suitable shielded high-speed USB cable
(e.g. no. 6036106, 2 m). Do not extend the cable!
3. Supply the TiM31x with voltage.
Using the power supply unit it must be ensured that the
supply voltage does not drop below 8 V for longer than
2 ms and never rises above 30 V. Following successful
initialization, the green LED “
▸
” lights up (device ready for
operation).
Do not supply the switching inputs with current yet.

Step 2: Mounting and alignment
NOTE
During installation make sure there is no reflective surface
behind the reference target
see
â
.
1. Optionally, attach the TiM31x to the mounting accessories
ordered separately (mounting kit 2); see the “Mounting”
chapter in the
&
Technical Information
(no. 8014318).
2. Otherwise, mount the two straight plates from the
enclosed mounting kit 1 on the TiM31x using 2 M3
screws. For this, use the two blind hole threads on either
the underside or the rear of the housing (
see
. If the straight plates are not used,
screw the screws provided by the customer max. 2.8 mm
into the thread
.
3. Mount the TiM31x on a prepared bracket. The device
should be as free from vibration as possible during opera-
tion.
4. Align the 90° axis of the TiM31x’s scanning angle with the
center of the area to be monitored. The mark on the
cover of the optical hood serves as an alignment aid for
direction finding (
).

Step 3: Configuration

Configuration without PC
The TiM31x offers two possibilities for this:
• Using one of 16 default field sets, each with 3 predefined
fields with the same field shape, but different sizes.
• Teach-in of the surrounding contour to automatically gener-
ate the outer field with any shape, including more complex
shapes, and to deduce the two inner fields.
The field sets are organized into groups with the field shapes:
