observed.
•Caution:
Indicates a potential danger that may result in light injury to persons or damage to
property if not avoided.
•Attention:
Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided.
When working with this product, the following warning notices apply:
Caution!
Risk of burning on hot surfaces!
The active surface heats up even under normal operating conditions.
Keep away hands and objects from the active surface.

3Construction and Function
3.1. Construction
The system is designed for applications with up to 8 sensors. It consists of the following two
components:
•Base (transmitter)
•Remote (receiver)
The components are enclosed in a brass housing protected acc. to IP 67
Sensors
For the standard version of electronic sensors, the following are to be observed:
•Make certain that the total power consumption of the sensor is not greater than that of
the base.
•Only use sensors with a voltage of 24 V DC
Mechanical switches
For the standard version of mechanical switches, the following are to be observed:
•Use switches for small load currents
•Use switches with a residual current I <0.1 mA in the open switching state
•The total resistance of the circuit should be less than 1 kOhm
3.2. Function
This set transfers power from the base to the remote via an air bridge; the base then
receives data back from the remote. The base and remote must match one another with
respect to size.
The sensors are wired to the remote. The remote is only inductively coupled to the base,
however. The base transmits the energy for the sensors to the remote. The signal from the
sensors is transmitted to the base by the remote.
The energy available for the sensors is dependent on the distance and on the offset
between base and remote and is, therefore, limited. For this reason, the total current
consumption of the connected sensors must not exceed the maximum power output of the
remote.
3.3. Features,
Advantages
•The cable length between the remote and consumers is limited depending on the cable
resistance.
•LED indicator on the remote and base for operational readiness and operating voltage
•Angle offset is possible between base and remote
•Simple wiring of e.g. rotary tables, replaceable punch heads etc.
•M12 plug connection on the systems
•Control of capacitive loads
•More power in the same structural shape
•Large operating voltage range
3.4. Display
If the supply voltage is applied correctly, the green LEDs on the base and remote illuminate.
If the green LEDs on the base only flash, the supply voltage is too low.
As soon as the yellow LED on the base illuminates, data transmission is also secured.
As soon as the remote moves out of the secured working range, its green LEDs begin to
flash and the yellow LED on the base switches off.

5Installation and Connection
5.1. Mutual
Interference
Attention!
Improper mounting may affect the function of the system and lead to damage.
The spacings specified for installation must be adhered to.
To prevent mutual interference with adjacent bases or remotes, the specified minimum
distances must be adhered to:
Type
A (mm)
BIC 1I3-P2A50-M30MI3-SM4ACA

5.2. Installation in
Metal
Attention!
Device damage due to induction effects!
Metallic objects on the coil cap cause the objects to be heated.
Install the components so that no metallic objects can collect on the coil cap.
When installing in metal, the specified minimum distances to the surrounding sides of the
metallic object must be maintained. Otherwise, the transmission distance between
transmitter and receiver changes.
The transmission distance can also be influenced by the type of metal.

5Installation and Connection
5.4. Connection
Attention!
Device damage due to incorrect voltage supply!
Malfunctions may occur if the ripple is too high or if the output voltage is not
regulated.
Use only approved, regulated voltage supplies.
Attention!
The remote (receiver) may be damaged by voltage spikes if cables that are too
long are used!
To satisfy the EMC requirements, the receiver cable must not be longer than 10 m.
If a longer cable is used nevertheless, take all necessary measures to protect the
receiver from voltage spikes.
