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.

6.2 

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.

Configure sensors
1. 

Position the emitter and receiver to the desired 

distance.

2. 

Set the potentiometer to maximum sensitivity (greatest 

range).

3. 

Detect the on and off output switchpoint (yellow LED): 

move the emitter or receiver in multiple directions so 

that the switching state of the yellow LED on the 

receiver changes (on or off). Each switching state 

change indicates one switchpoint.

In order to detect very small objects, reduce the 

sensitivity and thus the range and adjust the 

positioning of the sensors.

4. 

Mount the sensor that was moved in the middle of the 

determined switchpoints. The system is operating 

optimally when the green LED of the receiver lights up 

and the yellow LED is off for the NO contact version 

and on for the NC contact version.

6.3 

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).

6.5 

Maintenance

The product is maintenance-free.
