4.2 Description
The SST sensor tester enables the rapid testing and adjustment of
inductive sensors, magnetic switches and reed contacts.
The switching function is signaled by an LED and an additional
acoustic signal.
When not in use, the sensor tester automatically switches itself off
after approx. 30seconds.
The necessary power is supplied by a 9V compound battery

6 Operation
6.1 Installation of a sensor on the sensor tester
6.1.1 Connection of a sensor with connection plug
ØPlug the M8 or the M12 plug of the sensor into the according
socket of the SST.
ØTighten the knurled nut.
6.1.2 Connection of a sensor with an open wire strand
Wire colors
for the sensor
Color of SST spring-
type terminal
Description
Brown Brown (+ PLUS) Supply voltage of the
sensor + VDC
Black / White Black (A) Sensor signal output
Blue Blue (– MINUS) Supply voltage of the GND
sensor
ØCheck whether the wire colors of the sensor correspond to the
descriptions in the table.
ØConnect wires to the spring-type terminals.
6.2 Operation of the SST with a sensor
■The sensor to be tested is connected.
ØAdjust PNP/NPN switch(1) according to the sensor type.
ØActuate the ON button(2).
✓LED(3) lights up green.
✓If the LED(3) lights up in red, the battery needs to be
changed.
ØIf the sensor is damped, the SST emits a signal and the LED(4)
lights up in orange.
ØIf the status of the sensor changes from damped to undamped,
the SST emits a signal again and the LED(4) goes off.
NOTE
After switching on, the SST remains active for 30 seconds. Every
change of state of the sensor extends the activation duration
another 30seconds.
