Connect the power supply and the display/output device according to the safety
regulations for electrical equipment.
> Risk of injury
> Damage to or destruction of the sensor
Avoid shocks and impacts to the sensor.
The supply voltage must not exceed the specified limits.
Avoid constant exposure of the sensor to dust or splashes of water by appropriate
methods such as blowing or using a protective housing.
The sensor housing may only be opened by authorized persons.

Do not touch the protective windows of the optics. Wipe off any fingerprints
immediately with pure alcohol and a clean cotton cloth with no streaks. Protect the
cables against damage.
> Failure of the measuring device
Do not plug or unplug devices during the operation.
2. Notes on CE Marking
The following apply to the surfaceCONTROL 3D 35xx:
- EU Directive 2014/30/EU
- EU Directive 2011/65/EU
Products which carry the CE mark satisfy the requirements of the EU directives cited

3. Proper Environment
- Protection class
Sensor: IP67 (only applies in the case of connected output connectors
and/or installed protective caps)
Optical paths during operation are excluded from the protection class.
Contamination of the paths causes impairment or failure of the function.
The IP67 protection class is a specification that is limited to protection from dust and
water. Oil, steam and emulsion effects are not included in this protection class and
must be evaluated separately.
- Temperature range
Operation: 0 ... +45 °C 1(+32 ... +113 °F)
Storage: -20 ... +70 °C (-4 ... +158 °F)
- Humidity: 20 ... 80 % (non condensing)
- Ambient pressure: Atmospheric pressure
1) Max. permissible operating temperature depends on installation scenario, thermal
connection and operating mode. If necessary, external heat dissipation must be used to
ensure that the sensor’s internal temperature of 60 °C is not exceeded.

5. Light Source
The surfaceCONTROL 3D 35xx sensor works with an LED lighting unit. Measurement is
performed using blue light at the dominant 459 nm wavelength. The sensor is included
in risk group 2 according to EN 62471: 2008.
Do not look into the lens. Consciously close your eyes or immedi-
ately turn away if the optical radiation enters the eye.
The warning sign below is attached to the sensor housing on the top and bottom:

Digital Signals
The four digital connections of the multi-function interface provided can operate option-
ally as inputs or outputs. They are configured using the software. All digital ports share
a joint ground GND GPIO. External auxiliary power (max. 30 V) is required to use the
outputs.
The digital signals are not suitable for brief signal pulses or time-critical signals.
The exception is port 1, which, when configured correctly, can be used as a hardware
trigger to start a measurement and is directly connected to the sequence control in the
sensor.
The functionality of the digital signals can be programmed (see Fig. 5).
In addition to direction, polarity can also be switched for the inputs and outputs.
Internal sensor signals can be assigned to the digital outputs, for example, to control
additional connected devices.

The switching levels of the digital inputs are
defined based on HTL logic: Low 0 … 3 V,
High 11 … 24 V (up to 30 V permitted).
Maximum input current is internally limited
to 5 mA. The GPIO_1 input can also be
used as a trigger signal. The minimum pulse
duration when used as a trigger signal is
50 µs. Switching delay until a measurement
is triggered is at most 10 µs.

Customer Device Sensor All inputs can be used as logical inputs, but
not for time-critical tasks.
Electrical Parameters of Digital Outputs, Multi-Function Connection
The digital outputs require an external auxiliary voltage between 5 V and 30 V as well as
a load resistance. They can be operated at a load current of at most 100 mA. This may
occur, for example, by using an NPN-switching input module of a control.
The outputs are switched using a SolidState relay and are low active.

8. Operation
Commissioning
The sensor may only be connected to peripherals when it does
not carry power, that is, only when the operating voltage has been
switched off.
Mount the sensor according to the installation instructions.
Connect the sensor to the Ethernet cable.
Connect the Ethernet cable to the PC.
Connect the sensor to the power supply.
Read the detailed operating instructions before operating the sensor.
These instructions are available online at www.micro-epsilon.com.
Turning On
Turn on the external DC voltage supply (24 VDC).
The Power LED is constantly illuminated green if sufficient operating voltage is applied.
The State LED flashes orange and green during hardware connection and initializa-
tion. After completion, it is constantly illuminated green. For more information, see the
“LED Displays” section, see Chap. 7.
iThe surfaceCONTROL 3D 35xx sensor requires a warm-up time of typically 60
minutes for precise measurements.
Operating Programs
Various programs are provided for operation of the sensor.
- 3D View visualizes in space three-dimensional point data that have been detected
with surfaceCONTROL 3D 35xx.
- 3DInspect solves industrial 3D measurement tasks.
- You can use surfaceCONTROL DefMap3D 7.0 for the analysis of individual surfaces
with surfaceCONTROL 3D 35xx.
9. Installation
Requirements
The following minimum system requirements are necessary for the operation of the
operating programs:
- Windows 8 or 8.1 (64 bit), Windows 10 (64 bit)
- 1-GHz or higher prozessor (64 bit) with 4 GB RAM
- Screen resolution: 1280 x 1024
- Graphic card / GPU with OpenGL 3.1 or higher
iConnect the sensor directly to the PC. Do not use hubs.

10. Positioning of Sensor and Test Object
General
iNote the following instructions for optimum positioning of the sensor and test
object.
- Observe an optimum distance between the sensor and the surface of the test object,
see Chap. 3.2.
- Align the sensor with predominantly diffusely reflecting surfaces almost perpendic-
ular to the surface. To avoid direct reflection, we recommend that you tilt the sensor
by a few degrees.
- In the case of partially glossy surfaces, reflections from the test object can be
reduced by inclining the sensor by up to 30° with respect to the surface of the test
object.
Alignment with Crosshair
You will achieve the best results in the mid of the measuring range (focal range of
cameras).
Use the positioning pattern to easily and optimally align the sensor in the mid of
the measuring range. Align the pattern of the projection with the superimposed
pattern.
Fig. 10 Result of camera images when aligned with crosshair
