2 Commissioning
After the sensor is connected and installed, configure it via the display. The sensor is then ready for operation
and outputs the measuring value in mm to the screen. Optionally, the measuring field can be limited or the
switching output can be configured.
Connection
Installation
Application specific settings
(Optional settings)
Let's get started
Connection
Connect the sensor according to the connection
diagram. A shielded connection cable (8-pole M12)
must be used.
When everything is correctly connected, the sensor
starts up.
Key functions
ESC = Back
ESC 2 sec. = Run mode
UP = Up/increase value
DOWN = Down/decrease value
SET = OK
SET 2 sec. = Save value
Slide over all 4 keys:
----> = Enables the panel if locked
<---- = Jump to run mode
Setting the language
The language is selected and confirmed by pressing
SET for 2 seconds.

Function HEIGHT
At the function HEIGHT, the reference surface will be
teachted-in with FLEX MOUNT.
The sensor can be mounted angled with up to +/- 30
° to the reference surface.
The sensor may be mounted at an angle inclined
maximally 30° to the left or to the right of the
reference surface (background). Reference surface
(background) and object must lie within the
measuring field.

In the factory settings Delta HEIGHT is predefined
HEIGHT
Height of an object
For a height measurement, the required MEAS TYPE
(average value, maximum, minimum or delta). The
reference surface (0) is the maximum measuring range
of the sensor, or if present, the FLEX MOUNT teached
reference surface.
Avg HEIGHT = Distance of the average
value of the object from the
reference surface
Max HEIGHT = Distance of the furthest
measuring point from the
reference surface
Min HEIGHT = distance of the closest
measuring point from the
reference surface
Delta HEIGHT

closest and furthest measuring
point

Optional settings
FLEX MOUNT
If the sensor is mounted at an angle or the reference surface is not at the End of the measuring range Sde,
FLEX MOUNT must be activated and the reference surface taught in.
If FLEX MOUNT is activated, the following settings are reset: SCALE OUT, FIELD OF VIEW and DIGITAL
OUT.
OBJECT
Selection of bright or dark objects to optimize the measurement results.
PRECISION
To achieve better precision and resolution, it is possible to alternate between Standard, High and Very High
by filtering the output values.
SCALE OUT
Start of measuring range Sdc and end of measuring range Sde can be changed with SCALE OUT. 0V or 4mA
then apply for the start of measuring range Sdc. 10V or 20 mA apply for the point at the end of measuring
range Sde.
FIELD OF VIEW
The width of the measuring field can be changed with FIELD OF VIEW. Separate configuration of the single
points of the field: LIMIT LEFT, LIMIT RIGHT.
This function is required when there are objects in the measuring field that should not be detected.
ANALOG OUT
Start of measuring range Sdc (Offset) and end of measuring range Sde (Height) can be changed with SCALE
OUT. 0V or 4mA then apply for the start of measuring range Sdc. 10V or 20 mA apply for the point at the end
of measuring range Sde. Voltage and current output is selected under ANALOG OUT. In addition, the output
curve can be inverted under OUTP. SLOPE.
DIGITAL OUT
The sensor is equipped with a switching output that can be configured as a threshold or as a window via the
DIGITAL OUTPUT function.
Threshold: As soon as the measuring value is greater than the entered threshold, the switching output will be
changed.
Window: As soon as the measuring value is outside the entered window, the switching output will be changed.
Let's get started
The sensor continuously outputs the measuring value in mm to the display and transmits it via the analog
output to the control. Alternatively, the measuring value can also be retrieved from the RS485 interface.

3 Connection
3.1 Connection cable
An 8-pole, shielded connection cable (connector) is required.
Baumer connection cables with the following order codes are recommended:
•10127844 ESG 34FH0200G (length 2 m, straight plug)
•11053961 ESW 33FH0200G (length 2 m, angled plug)
•10129333 ESG 34FH1000G (Länge 10 m, straight plug)
•10170054 ESW 33FH1000G (Länge 10 m, angled plug)
Other cable lengths are available.
When using the analogue output, the cable length has an influence on the signal noise. The longer the cable,
the greater the signal noise.
Analog output I_OUT
Noise: 5.92 uA (1 Sigma) (10 m cable and 680 ohm)
3:59 uA (1 sigma) (2m cable and 680 ohm)
Analog output U_OUT
Noise: 4.80 mV (1 Sigma) (10m cable and 100 kOhm)
3:03 mV (1 Sigma) (2m cable and 100 kOhm)
For high-precision applications, the use of the RS485 interface is recommended.
ATTENTION!
Laser class 1 laser beam according to EN 60825-1:2007. This product can be
operated safely without any additional safety precautions. Nevertheless direct
contact between the eye and beam should be avoided.
ATTENTION!
The IP protection class is valid only if all connections are connected as
described in the technical documentation.
ATTENTION!
Connection, installation and commissioning may only be performed by qualified
personnel.
ATTENTION!
Incorrect supply voltage will destroy the device!
