2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The RMS3xx radar sensor is used for area monitoring. Within a defined detection area,
the sensor detects static and moving objects, and triggers a switching signal upon
detection of a corresponding object.
Distance zones can be defined and these zones can be assigned various functions.
The distance of the objects, the speed and the direction of the movement within the
detection area are calculated and provided via the data telegram.
All object data can be provided via Ethernet. The ability to provide it via the CAN
protocol is in the planning stages.
The SOPAS ET software from SICK AG must be used to operate the RMS3xx.
NOTE
The radar sensor is approved for operation in countries listed in the RMS3xx “Regula‐
tory Notes” technical information (no. 8021596). This document is included with the
device. The operation of the device in other countries can interfere with protected
frequency ranges.
•Only use the device in countries in which it has been approved.
•When reselling the device, inform the buyer about the regional approval restric‐
tions.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
Health hazards as a result of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation
The RMS3xx radar sensor is designed for operation in accordance with
ETSI EN 300440. During operation, the exposition limit values defined in EN 62311
must be upheld.
In order to limit human exposure to electromagnetic fields, suitable safety distances
must be maintained during both short-term and long-term work in the radiation range of
the antenna. The minimum distance between the antenna and the human body during
continuous operation is 20 cm.
Country-specific aspects which must be taken into account during operation of the
RMS3xx can be found in the RMS3xx "Regulatory Compliance Information" technical
information publication (no. 8021596), which is included with the product.
2.2 Improper use
Any use outside of the stated areas, in particular use outside of the technical specifica‐
tions and the requirements for intended use, will be deemed to be incorrect use.
•The device does not constitute a safety component in accordance with the respec‐
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
•The device must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas, in corrosive environ‐
ments or under extreme environmental conditions.
•Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.

6 Electrical installation
6.1 Wiring instructions
NOTE
Pre-assembled cables can be found online at:
•www.sick.com/RMS3xx
NOTICE
Faults during operation and device or system defects!
Incorrect wiring may result in operational faults and defects.
■Follow the wiring notes precisely.
•Connect the connecting cables in a de-energized state. Do not switch on the
voltage supply until installation is complete and all connection work on the device
and controller has been finished.
•Isolate the wires of unused digital outputs at the control cabinet.
•Use proper connecting cables and male connectors for the application or environ‐
mental conditions, see "Accessories", page 29.
•The specified device enclosure rating is valid only with suitable mating connectors
or with the protective caps installed.
•Electrical protection class III and ES1 supply voltage.
•The supply voltage must be as specified in the technical data, see "Technical
data", page 26.
•Configure the circuits connected to the device as ES1 circuits or as SELV circuits
(SELV = Safety Extra Low Voltage). The voltage source must meet the requirements
of ES1 (EN 62368-1) or SELV (EN 60950-1).
•The voltage supply via a power supply unit must be capable of buffering a brief
power failure of up to 20 ms.
•Prevent product damage caused by short-circuit: The device supply voltage input is
equipped with reverse polarity protection. The internal functional earth is directly
connected to the metal housing of the device. The internal functional earth also
corresponds to the negative pole of the supply voltage.

7 Operation
7.1 General advice
The device works fully automatically in normal operation and requires no operator
intervention.
Configuration is done using the SOPAS Engineering Tool (SOPAS ET) software, see
"Operation via SOPAS ET", page 18. The device must be connected to a computer via
an interface for this purpose.
The measurement data and measuring ranges can be check using the graphical view.
Please note that the software cannot display the data in real time, therefore not all
measured values that the device delivers will be displayed.
7.2 Switching on / Switching off
1. Disconnect the device from the voltage supply to switch it off.
✓The device switches off. The device configuration remains unchanged, measured
values are lost.
2. Connect the device to the voltage supply.
✓The device starts with the last saved configuration data.
7.3 Operation via SOPAS ET
Version 3.3.3 and higher of the SOPAS Engineering Tool (SOPAS ET) software can be
used to configure the device and for service and diagnostic purposes.
To configure the device, you will require a computer with SOPAS ET installed and a
free Ethernet connection. Alternatively, the connection can be established via a USB
connection using an Ethernet USB adapter.
NOTE
The current version of the SOPAS ET software can be downloaded from
www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET. The respective system requirements for installing SOPAS ET
are also specified there.
1. Connect the communication interface (Ethernet, 4-pin M12 female connector) of
the device to the computer.
2. Switch on and start the computer.
3. Supply the device with voltage (5-pin M12 male connector, supply voltage
10 … 30 V DC).
✓After successful initialization, the two status LEDs light up green. The device is
ready for use.
NOTE
To use SOPAS ET with the device, you need a device description file (SDD, SOPAS
Device Description) for this device. You can install this within SOPAS ET using the
device catalog. The device description file is saved on the device and can be installed
there. Alternatively, installation is possible from the SICK website (Internet connection
required).
Following installation of the device description file, the device can be selected from the
device catalog and added to a project.
A connection to the device is established via the communication interface. The connec‐
tion must be activated for data transmission (online).
