3 Intended use
The HSE18 is an opto-electronic through-beam photoelectric sensor (referred to as
“sensor” in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals,
and persons. A sender (HS18) and a receiver (HE18) are required for operation. If
the product is used for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim
against SICK AG shall become void.

NOTE
When mounting through beam photoelectric sensors adjacent to each other, alternate
the sender (HS18) and receiver (HE18) arrangement every other pair. Also ensure
that there is sufficient distance between pairs based on the sender (HS18) light spot
diameter. Refer to figure 1 and table 1.

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: pin assignment
– Cable: wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (UV > 0 V) once all electrical connec‐
tions have been established.
The green LED indicator on the top of the sensor lights up.
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.

6.3 Adjustments
L/D Switching
The sensor may be specified with a Light Switching or Dark Switching
(L/D) selection potentiometer.
Light Switching is selected for the Q1 output by rotating the poten‐
tiometer counterclockwise to the stop position. The potentiometer tab
will point toward the “L” printed on the sensor housing.
Dark Switching is selected for the Q1 output by rotating the poten‐
tiometer clockwise to the stop position. The potentiometer tab will
point toward the “D” printed on the sensor housing.
CAUTION
Over rotation of the potentiometer past the stop positions will cause permanent dam‐
age to the sensor.
If complimentary outputs are specified (Hx18-Pxxxxx, Hx18-Nxxxxx, Hx18-Fxxxxx), the
Q2 output will always be opposite switching state of the Q1 output. Therefore, the Q2
output will be Dark Switching when the potentiometer is in the “L” position and Light
Switching in the potentiometer is in the “D” position. If bipolar outputs are specified
(Hx18-Axxxxx, Hx18-Bxxxxx), the Q2 output will always have the same switching state
as the Q1 output. The L/D selection potentiometer does not impact a Health or Alarm
output (if specified).

Time delay
The sensor may be specified with an adjustable time delay. The delay
time is adjusted by rotating the 270° potentiometer.
Clockwise rotation in the direction of the “+” printed on the sensor will
increase the delay time (TDELAY). Maximum Delay time will occur at the
clockwise stop position.
Counter clockwise rotation in the direction of the “-“ printed on the
sensor will decrease the delay time. There will be no time delay at the
counter clockwise stop position.
CAUTION
Over rotation of the potentiometer past the stop positions will cause permanent dam‐
age to the sensor.
A L/D selection switch may be specified with an adjustable time delay. Adjustable time
delay does not impact a Health or Alarm output (if specified).

Red light: Align the sender with the receiver. Select the position so that the red emitted
light beam hits the receiver. Tip: The signal strength light bar on the rear of the sensor
will help to ensure correct alignment. Use white paper or a reflector as an alignment
aid. The sender must have a clear view of the receiver, with no object in the path of
the beam [see figure 6]. You must ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the
sensors are completely clear.

Infra red light: Align the sender with the receiver. Select the position so that the infrared
light (not visible) hits the receiver. Use the signal strength light bar on the rear of the
sensor to determine the correct alignment. See figure 6 and figure 5. The sender must
have a clear view of the receiver, with no object in the path of the beam. You must
ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the sensors are completely clear.
Optimized alignment can be achieved and verified by using the signal strength light
bar located on the back cover of the sensor. The LEDs on the light bar will illuminate
corresponding to the strength of signal received by the sensor. When no or only red
LEDs are illuminated, the sensor is receiving no or too little signal to switch the output.
The first yellow LED will illuminate at the minimum switching threshold and the green
LEDs will continue to illuminate as the received signal increases [see figure 5].
Figure 6: Alignment
7.2 Check the application conditions
Sensing range
Observe the application conditions: Adjust the distance between the sender and the
receiver according to the corresponding diagram [see table 12] (x = sensing range, y =
operating reserve).
If several through-beam photoelectric sensors which are installed next to one another
are to be used, we recommend swapping the sender/receiver arrangement at every
second through-beam photoelectric sensor and ensuring that there is sufficient dis‐
tance between the through-beam photoelectric sensors. By doing this, mutual interfer‐
ence can be prevented [see figure 1].
