2 Function and features
The diffuse reflection sensor detects objects and materials without contact and
indicates their presence by a switched signal.
Range : → type label (value referred to white paper 200 mm x 200 mm).

* In the following sections installation and set-up are described using the example of the type
with front lens. The functions of the units with side lens are identical.
Align the photocell and fasten it to a mounting fixture.►
Maximum range is only possible with precise alignment.

3.1 Installation of the supplied mounting fixture
Secure the mounting fixture with the screws supplied, then slide the unit into the slot of►
the fixture until the spring clicks home.
To remove the unit press the spring down with a screwdriver and slide the unit out.►
4 Electrical connection
The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician.
The national and international regulations for the installation of electri-►
cal equipment must be adhered to.
Voltage supply according to EN 50178.►

Programming of the output function by push button or programming wire (see pa-
ge 8).
5 Commissioning
The diffuse reflection sensor is supplied ready to operate (plug and play) set at the
max. sensing range. This is sufficient if the diffuse reflection sensor can operate
with maximum excess gain (highest contrast). The following setting procedures
should only be necessary in less straightforward applications, for example if a
background must be „tuned out“.
6 Settings
6.1 Setting of the sensitivity with stationary objects*
1
Activate the programming mode of the unit.
Press for about 2 s►
until the red LED flashes.
The red LED goes out; the yellow and green LEDs flash alternately.>
The unit is in the programming mode.>
2
Set the sensitivity with object.
Press once.►
The yellow and green LEDs go out for approx. 1 s, then flash again alternately.>

6
3
Set the sensitivity without object.
Press once►
The yellow and green LEDs go out for approx. 1 s,>
after approx. 3 s the green LED is on.
The unit is in the operating mode.>
You can also proceed in reverse order: first setting without the object, then with
the object.
* The sensitivity can also be set in exactly the same way using the programming wire
(pin 2 / WH). To activate the functions the programming wire is connected for the appropriate
time to L+ (pin 1 / BN) for PNP units or to L- (pin 3 / BU) for NPN units. Feedback: If setting
was not successful via the programming wire, the output will switch for 2 s. The unit then
reverts to the operating mode with the sensitivity unchanged.
If the setting of the sensitivity is not possible (e.g. object signal and
background signal are about the same), the red LED flashes after step
3 for approx. 2 s. The unit then passes into the operating mode with the
sensitivity being unchanged.
If the setting button is not activated for 15 minutes during the programming
process, the unit passes automatically into the operating mode with the
sensitivity being unchanged.
6.2 Setting of the sensitivity with moving objects*
1
Activate the programming mode of the unit.
Press for about 2 s until the red►
LED flashes.
The red LED goes out; the yellow and green LEDs flash alternately.>
The unit is in the programming mode.>

2
Allow objects to pass through the detection area during the measurement (about ►
1 s) (number of the objects between min. 8 Hz and max. switching frequency).
Press once.►
The yellow and green LEDs go out for approx. 1 s, then flash again alternately.>
3
Allow objects to pass through the detection area during the measurement (about ►
1 s) (number of the objects between min. 8 Hz and max. switching frequency).
Press once.►
The yellow and green LEDs go out for approx. 1 s, after approx. 3 s the green>
LED is on.
The unit is in the operating mode.>
* The sensitivity can also be set in exactly the same way using the programming wire
(pin 2 / WH). To activate the functions the programming wire is connected for the appropriate
time to L+ (pin 1 / BN) for PNP units or to L- (pin 3 / BU) for NPN units. Feedback: If setting
was not successful via the programming wire, the output will switch for 2 s. The unit then
reverts to the operating mode with the sensitivity unchanged.
If the setting of the sensitivity is not possible (e.g. object signal and
background signal are about the same), the red LED flashes after step 3
for approx. 2 s. The unit then passes into the operating mode with the
sensitivity being unchanged.
If the setting button is not activated for 15 minutes during the programming
process, the unit passes automatically into the operating mode with the
sensitivity being unchanged.

6.3 Setting of the maximum sensitivity*
Go into the programming mode (→ step 1).►
Align the unit so that no light is reflected.►
Press the setting button twice (→ steps 2 and 3).►
* The maximum sensitivity can also be set in exactly the same way using the programming
wire (pin 2 / WH). To activate the functions the programming wire is connected for the appro-
priate time to L+ (pin 1 / BN) for PNP units or to L- (pin 3 / BU) for NPN units.
6.4 Electronic lock
Activate the lock by connecting the programming wire for about 15 s – 20 s*.
Deactivate the lock by connecting the programming wire again for 15 s – 20 s*.
* To activate the functions the programming wire (pin 2 / WH) is connected to L+ (pin 1 / BN)
for PNP units or to L- (pin 3 / BU) for NPN units for the appropriate time.
6.5 Programming the output function*
Press for 10 s.►
The red LED starts to flash fast after 2 s.>
Then the yellow and green LEDs flash>
alternately.
After 10 s all LEDs go off, the output>
function has changed from light-on mode
to dark-on mode (or vice versa).
* The output function can be programmed in exactly the same way using the programming
wire (pin 2 / WH). To activate the functions the programming wire is connected for the appro-
priate time to L+ (pin 1 / BN) for PNP units or to L- (pin 3 / BU) for NPN units.

7 Operation
Check the safe functioning of the unit.►
Display by LEDs.>
LED green is lit Unit is ready for operation.
LED yellow is lit Output is switched.
LED red is lit Error in object detection, e.g. maladjustment,
soiling of the lenses.
LEDs yellow + red
Flash alternately, 2 Hz: output short-circuited.
Flash alternately, 1 Hz: internal malfunction
(output is not switched).
8 Maintenance, repair and disposal
Keep the front panes of the sensors free from soiling.►
For cleaning do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which could damage►
the plastic material.
