1 General safety notes
■Read the operating instructions before commissioning.
■
Connection, mounting, and configuration may only be performed by trained
specialists.
■
2006/42/EC
NO
SAFETY
Not a safety component in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive.
■
Do not install the sensor at locations that are exposed to direct sunlight
or other weather influences, unless this is expressly permitted in the operating
instructions.
■These operating instructions contain information required during the life cycle of
the sensor.
2 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
3 Intended use
The RAY26 is an opto-electronic photoelectric retro-reflective sensor (referred to as
“sensor” in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and
persons. A reflector is required for this product to function. If the product is used for any
other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become
void.

5 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.
Note the sensor's maximum permissible tightening torque of 0.65Nm.
NOTE
RAY26P-XXXXX1 (MDO ≥ 1 MM), RAY26P-XXXXX3 (MDO ≥ 3 MM):
Recommended position of installation: between conveyor belts or conveyor rollers
6 Electrical installation
Operation in standard I/O mode:
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: note pin assignment
– Cable: wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (UV > 0 V) once all electrical connec‐
tions have been established.
Operation in IO-Link mode: Connect the device to a suitable IO-Link master and inte‐
grate in the master or control via IODD/function block. The green LED indicator flashes
on the sensor. IODD and function block are available to download from www.sick.com
under the part number.

c) Rotate the sensor down a little until the lower edge of the light band will hit the
conveyor belt (see light band on metal plate). Then fix the housing at the bracket.
The light band may not be moved further into the conveyor.

d) Remove the metal plate from the light band and teach the RAY26, after which it
is ready for operation.
NOTE
Tip:
Control of the setting: Switch on conveyor belt. In "idling mode" (conveyor belt moves
without material to be conveyed), the sensor must not switch. Switch on conveyor belt.
Place the goods in succession on the conveyor belt edges and in the middle on the belt
to check the reliable detection in three places.

1. Place an object A with the corresponding height to be blanked (e.g. 3 mm) in the
light band in front of the RAY26.
A
2. Teach RAY26 and it is ready for use.
3. Remove the object from the light band.
This area (B = object height A) is now blanked for detection.
If the conveyor belt moves a little bit up, it is not detected.
An object must now be e.g. approx. 8 mm high so that it can be detected by
RAY26P-xxxxx5 (MDO: 5 mm). If the RAY26 is re-teached without object A into
the light band, then the blanked area is no longer present and is available for
detection again.
B
Conveyor blanking via IO-Link
RAY26P-xxxxx3
The conveyor blanking allows a stepwise inactivation of the detection area (A = approx.
1 mm for each level) just above the conveyor belt. Thereby influences of the conveyor
belt (which causes false signals of the sensor) can be suppressed. The setting of the
conveyor blanking can be done via IO-Link with the index 238.
After setting the sensor has to be taught again (index 2, value 65).

9 Troubleshooting
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.
LED indicator/fault pattern Cause Measures
Green LED flashes IO-Link communication None
Switching outputs do not
behave in accordance with
see table 3, page 8 and see
table 4, page 8
a) IO-Link communication
b) Change of the configuration
c) Short-circuit
a) None
b) Adjustment of the configu‐
ration
c) Check electrical connec‐
tions
The blue LEDs are very close
together
Front screen and/or reflector
is contaminated.
Cleaning of the optical sur‐
faces (sensor and reflector).
Yellow LED flashes Distance between sensor and
reflector is too large / light
band is not completely aligned
to the reflector / reflector is
not suitable / front screen
and/or reflector is contami‐
nated
Check sensing range / check
alignment / SICK reflector is
recommended / Cleaning of
the optical surfaces (sensor
and reflector)
PROCESS DATA STRUCTURE 8
8022178.19RH 08.01.2021 | SICK
Subject to change without notice 15

LED indicator/fault pattern Cause Measures
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the light band 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
10 Disassembly and disposal
The sensor must be disposed of according to the applicable country-specific regula‐
tions. Efforts should be made during the disposal process to recycle the constituent
materials (particularly precious metals).
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.
11 Maintenance
SICK sensors are maintenance-free.
We recommend doing the following regularly:
•Clean the external lens surfaces
•Check the screw connections and plug-in connections
No modifications may be made to devices.
