1 Function and features
The switching amplifier detects objects without contact and indicates the result
with an output signal�
• Type OOF���/KL for the connection of the ifm fibre optics types FE-11 and FT-11
(plastic fibre optics)�
• Type OOF���/GL for the connection of the ifm fibre optics types FE-00 and FT-00
(glass fibre optics)�
• The range is determined by the fibre optics�

These operating instructions show and describe the switching amplifier for 8 fibre
optics as an example� The functions of the units with 2, 4 or 6 fibre optic connec-
tions are identical, except for the number of channels�
3 Installation
Fix the unit to a DIN rail (supplied with the unit)�
3.1 Attaching the fibre optics
The fibre optic connections are supplied with a protective cover�
This must be removed before fitting the fibre optics�

5
UK
3.1.1 Plastic fibre optics
Push the fibres into the sensor holes until
you feel a slight resistance (O-ring)�
Push the fibres further until the stop (optic
elements)�
Turn the fastening screw to secure the
fibres, max. torque 0.3 Nm.
When dismantling the fibres first loosen the
fastening screw�

2: fastening
3.1.2 Glass fibre optics
Push the fibre optic connection into the hole
making sure that the diameters of the lugs
match�
Fasten the coupling nut by hand�
1: bre optics connection
If the fibre optics are not in contact with the optic elements, the sensing
range is reduced�
For channels which are not used use the protective covers supplied to
protect the optics from soiling�
4 Operation
You can navigate upwards and downwards in the menu or change values by
pressing the pushbuttons [▲] and [▼].
The entries are selected and confirmed by means of the pushbutton [●].
Due to the simple menu navigation operation is not complicated and only requires
few explanations�

6
If you do not activate any pushbutton for more than 5 min� the unit switches back
to the operation display�
5 Initial setup
First select the menu language� The following languages are available: German,
English and French�
Depending on the mounting position the display can be rotated by 180°�
After these basic settings have been made the unit switches to the operation
display��

3: switching output channel 1 is combined
AND with switching output channel 3t
4: switching output channel 1 is combined
OR with switching output channel 5
Note: In this example switching output 1 is
not combined with the switching outputs 2,
4, 6, 7, and 8�
A channel overview is now displayed in which you can select the required channel
by pressing [▲] or [▼].
By pressing [●] you can now change between the functions [AND], [OR] or [empty
field] = no logic function.
The functions always refer to the active channel (in the figure channel 1)�
To delete all functions of this channel select „Delete“ from the menu�

By selecting the menu point „Exit“ you leave the selection window�
Explanation of the example:
The display shows that the switching output of channel 1 is logically combined
AND with the switching output of channel 3 and that it is logically combined OR
with the switching output of channel 5� All outputs are switched as usual, only
output 1 switches depending on the selected logic function between outputs 1, 3
and 5�
9.6 Second switch point for a selected channel (only for chan-
nels 1, 3, 5, 7)
Select the function [2nd switch point] from the options.
The second switch point enables the function of a fibre optic channel being
evaluated at two switch points� The respective output signals are available at two
switching outputs�

The second switch point is shown in the bar graph display� Like in the case of au-
tomatic setting of the switching threshold (page 6 and the following) the pushbut-
ton [●] is pressed once with and once without the object also for the second switch
point� The output for the second fibre optic on the activated unit (1-2, 3-4, 5-6 or
7-8) is used as output for the switching signal�
The function is deleted in the respective assigned channel (1,3,5,7) in the options
of the channel display�
Example: If the second switch point of channel 1 is used the connection for
the fibre optics cannot be used with channel 2�

You can see the current status of the electronic lock (lock open - lock closed) in
the operation display�
12 Function check output
• Switches in the case of incorrect object detection (error in object detection,
maladjustment, soiling of the lenses) after approx� 4 s, it switches back approx�
4 s after the object is again correctly detected�
• Immediately switches in the case of a short circuit of the switching output, it
switches back approx� 4 s after the fault has been rectified�
• Immediately switches in the case of an internal fault, it is only switched back by
turning off the operating voltage and then on again�

13 Error messages
The error messages are reset automatically if the fault has been removed�
