Startup and operation
6.1
Startup
DANGER
Uncontrolled system movement
When starting up, if the sensor is part of a closed loop
system whose parameters have not yet been set, the
system may perform uncontrolled movements. This
could result in personal injury and equipment damage.
► Persons must keep away from the system's
hazardous zones.
► Startup must be performed only by trained technical
personnel.
► Observe the safety instructions of the equipment or
system manufacturer.
CAUTION
Red light
If you look into the light beam emitted by the transmitter,
temporary blinding and irritation of the eyes is possible.
► Do not look into the light beam!
1. Check connections for tightness and correct polarity.
Replace damaged connections.
2. Turn on the system.
3. Check measured values and adjustable parameters
and realign and adjust the sensor, if necessary.
Check for the correct values, especially after
replacing the sensor or after repair by the
manufacturer.

Operation
CAUTION
Red light
If you look into the light beam emitted by the transmitter,
temporary blinding and irritation of the eyes is possible.
► Do not look into the light beam!
No further protective measures are required for operation.
Standard setting
1. Position the sensor and reflector to the desired
distance.
2. Set the potentiometer to maximum sensitivity (greatest
range).
3. Determine the on and off point of the output (yellow
LED): move the sensor in all directions so that the
yellow LED switches on and then back off for the NO
contact version and off and then back on for the NC
contact version.
4. Mount the sensor in the middle of the determined
switchpoints. The sensor is optimally aligned when the
green LED is on and indicates reliable function.
Fine adjustment to detect very small objects
1. First perform the standard setting (see above).
2. Turn the potentiometer counterclockwise until the
yellow LED lights up (NO contact version) or goes out
(NC contact version). The reflector is no longer
recognized.
3. Turn the potentiometer slowly clockwise until the yellow
LED goes out (NO contact version) or lights up (NC
contact version). The reflector is recognized again.
⇒ Even very small objects can be detected.

Operating notes
–
Regularly check function of the sensor and all
associated components.
–
Take the sensor out of service whenever there is a
malfunction.
–
Check fasteners regularly and retighten if needed.
6.4
Cleaning
Keep the lens as free from soiling as possible (dust etc.)
and do not touch it (fingerprints).
Remove soiling
► Wipe off the lens with a lint-free cloth and alcohol
(ethanol, isopropanol).
