4 Mounting
Mount the sensor and the reflector using suitable mounting brackets (see the SICK
range of accessories). Align the sensor and reflector with each other.
5 Electrical installation
The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state (UV = 0V). The following informa‐
tion must be observed depending on the connection type:
– Plug connection: pin assignment
– Cable: wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (UV >0V) once all electrical connec‐
tions have been established.

BN = Brown
WH = White
BU = Blue
BK = Black
n. c. = no connection
Q = switching output 1
Q = switching output 2
L+ = supply voltage (Uv)

5.1 Notes on UL approval
The device shall be supplied from an isolating transformer having a secondary overcur‐
rent protective device that complies with UL 248 to be installed in the field rated either:
a) max 5 amps for voltages 0 ~ 20 V (0 ~ 28.3 V peak), or
b) 100 / Vp for voltages of 20 ~ 30 V (28.3 ~ 42.4 V peak).
Alternatively, they can be supplied from a Class 2 power supply.
UL Environmental Rating: Enclosure type 1
6 Commissioning
6.1 Alignment
Align the sensor with a suitable reflector. Select the position so that the red emitted
light beam hits the center of the reflector. The sensor must have a clear view of the
reflector, with no object in the path of the beam [see figure 2]. You must ensure that the
optical openings of the sensor and reflector are completely clear.
Figure 2: Alignment
6.2 Sensing range
Adjust the distance between the photoelectric sensor and the reflector according to the
relevant diagram [see figure 3] (x= sensing range, y= operating reserve).
After alignment, place a non-transparent object into the path of the beam. Check the
function as described in table 2. If the switching output fails to behave as described in
table 2, check the application conditions.

6.3 Settings
Sensitivity setting
Sensor which it is not possible to set: The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
The sensitivity is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: 5-turn). Clockwise rotation:
operating reserve increased; counterclockwise rotation: operating reserve reduced. We
recommend setting the potentiometer to “Maximum”. A lower operating reserve may be
necessary for depolarizing surfaces.
The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
7 Troubleshooting
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.
Table 3: Troubleshooting
LED/fault pattern Cause Measures
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the light beam
is aligned to the reflector and
there is no object in the path of
the beam
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Voltage interruptions Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
Sensor is faulty If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor

LED/fault pattern Cause Measures
Yellow LED flashes Sensor is still ready for oper‐
ation, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam
of light (light spot) with the
reflector. / Clean the optical
surfaces (sensor and reflec‐
tor) / If the potentiometer is
set to the max. sensitivity:
Reduce the distance between
the sensor and the reflector,
and check the reflector type /
Reflector is not suitable for
the application in question
(we recommend only using
SICK reflectors) / Check sens‐
ing range and adjust if neces‐
sary / Distance between the
sensor and the reflector is too
long
Signal interruptions when
object is detected
Depolarizing property of the
object surface (e.g., tape),
reflection
Reduce sensitivity or change
the position of the sensor
8 Disassembly and disposal
The sensor must be disposed of in line with applicable country-specific regulations.
When disposing of them, you should try to recycle them (especially the precious met‐
als).
NOTE
Disposal of batteries, electric and electronic devices
•According to international directives, batteries, accumulators and electrical or
electronic devices must not be disposed of in general waste.
•The owner is obliged by law to return this devices at the end of their life to the
respective public collection points.
•
WEEE: This symbol on the product, its package or in this document,
indicates that a product is subject to these regulations.
9 Maintenance
This SICK sensor is maintenance-free.
We do, however, recommend that the following activities are undertaken regularly:
•Clean the optical interfaces and housing
•Check the fittings and plug connectors

Cleaning
NOTICE
Equipment damage due to improper cleaning.
Improper cleaning may result in equipment damage.
■Only use recommended cleaning agents and tools.
■Never use sharp objects for cleaning.
bClean the optical surfaces at regular intervals and, in the event of contamina‐
tion, with a lint-free lens cloth (part number 4003353) and plastic cleaner (part
number 5600006). The cleaning interval essentially depends on the ambient
conditions.
No modifications may be made to devices.
