3.2.2 Product characteristics
Array sensors can be used in any application that requires the detection of one (AS30
Prime Edge Mode), two (AS30 Prime Width Mode) or multiple edges (AS30 Prime -
Extended Field of View) based on a significant difference in contrast. With the AS30
Prime - Extended Field of View, up to 8 edges can be output. In addition, it is possible to
define and monitor functions from individual edges (e.g. distance, center point).
Edges with a low contrast difference on transparent or reflective materials can be
detected in the Reflector setting.

5 Electrical installation
5.1 Notes on electrical installation
NOTICE
Equipment damage due to incorrect supply voltage!
An incorrect supply voltage may result in damage to the equipment.
■Only operate the device with safety/protective extra-low voltage (SELV/PELV).
■The sensor is a device of protection class III.
NOTICE
Equipment damage due to incorrect supply voltage!
An incorrect supply voltage may result in damage to the equipment.
•Only operate the device with an LPS (limited power source) in accordance with IEC
62368-1 or an NEC Class 2 power supply unit.
NOTICE
Equipment damage or unpredictable operation due to working with live parts!
Working with live parts may result in unpredictable operation.
■Only carry out wiring work when the power is off.
■Only connect and disconnect electrical connections when the power is off.
■The electrical installation must only be performed by electrically qualified person‐
nel.
■Standard safety requirements must be observed when working on electrical
systems!
■Only switch on the supply voltage for the device when the connection tasks have
been completed and the wiring has been thoroughly checked.
■When using extension cables with open ends, ensure that bare wire ends do not
come into contact with each other (risk of short-circuit when supply voltage is
switched on!). Wires must be appropriately insulated from each other.
■Wire cross-sections in the supply cable from the user’s power system must be
selected in accordance with the applicable standards.
■The sensor must be protected with a fuse suitable for the cross-circuit of the
connecting cable.
■Only operate the device with an LPS (limited power source) in accordance with IEC
62368-1 or an NEC Class 2 power supply unit.
■All circuits connected to the device must be designed as SELV/PELV circuits.
NOTE
Layout of data cables
■Implement the shielding design correctly and completely.
■To avoid interference, e.g., from switching power supplies, motors, clocked drives,
and contactors, always use cables and layouts that are suitable for EMC.
■Do not lay cables over long distances in parallel with voltage supply cables and
motor cables in cable channels.
The IP enclosure rating for the device is only achieved under the following conditions:
■The cables plugged into the connections are screwed tight.
If these instructions are not complied with, the IP enclosure rating for the device is not
guaranteed!

NOTICE
Risk of damage to the device!
The device can become damaged if it is connected to a voltage supply that is already
switched on.
•Only connect the device when the supply cable is de-energized.
The device must be connected to a power supply unit with the following properties:
•Supply voltage DC 18 V –30 V (SELV/PELV as per currently valid standards)

5.5 Wiring the interfaces
5.5.1 Wiring the digital inputs
Voltage level at the input starts the corresponding function of the device.
Electrical values
High: 12 V ≤ U ≤ UV
Low: 0 V ≤ U ≤ 9 V
5.5.2 Wiring the digital outputs
In each case, the digital outputs are short-circuit protected and overcurrent protected.
Push/pull switching behavior
Electrical values
The sum current (100 mA) for all digital outputs is identical.
Push/pull
High: VS − 3 V
Low: ≤ 3 V
In the case of a push/pull sensor with PNP behavior, the signal must be inverted in
the control system in order to obtain the same result as a sensor with NPN switching
behavior.

Detection initially takes place even without teach-in; the first (up to) 8 edges seen from
the male connector side in each case are detected in the field of view. Further settings,
such as operation mode, sensitivity adjustments, reading direction, etc., can be set via
SOPAS ET.

1. Start the wizard with the Sensor setup pushbutton
2. Follow the instructions from the wizard
– Optimize the sensor alignment (sensing distance and mounting bracket).
7.2.2 Sensor adjustment and diagnostics
The sensor settings can be edited on the “General Device Settings + Diagnostics” tab.
These are:
•Background
Adjustment of the sensor background between scanning mode, reflector mode
and auto setting.
The reflector option is recommended for very glossy or (semi-)transparent objects.
With the auto option, the sensor automatically detects a mounted reflector in
the background. If this setting is selected during operation, the sensor must be
restarted. If an edge is taught in, the background set in the auto option is retained.
•Reading direction
AS30 Prime - Extended Field of View offers 2 reading directions. The edge position
values are output in the configured direction. The analog output on pin 2 switches
accordingly. The options are
- From the male connector to the head side (default) -
From the head side to the male connector
- Defined by input pin: Select this option to configure the reading direction via the
input on pin 5.
•Pin 2 configuration
Pin 2 is the analog output of the detected edge and can be configured and
deactivated between edge 1 to edge 8 and up to 8 functions of two edges.
•Pin 5 configuration
Pin 5 can be configured either as an external input for smart task functions, an
output for edge teach-in, a second digital switching output, an input for running a
reflector teach or an input for changing the reading direction (activate “Defined by
input pin” for this).
