son.
■
2006/42/EC
NO
SAFETY
Not a safety component in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive.
■
When commissioning, protect the device from moisture and contamination.
■These operating instructions contain information required during the life cycle of
the sensor.
2 Notes on UL approval

3 Correct use
The WS/WE34 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 (WS) and a receiver (WE) 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.

5 Mounting
Mount sensors (sender and receiver) using suitable mounting brackets (see the SICK
range of accessories). Align the sender and receiver with each other.
NOTE
Swap the sender and receiver arrangement at every second through-beam photoelec‐
tric sensor and ensure that there is sufficient distance between the through-beam pho‐
toelectric sensors.

Note the sensor’s maximum permissible tightening torque of 2 Nm.
6 Electrical installation
The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state. The following information must
be observed, depending on the connection type:
– Plug connection: note pin assignment: when the cover is open, the male connector
can be swiveled horizontally and vertically.
– Terminal connection: note the permissible cable diameter of 5 to 10 mm. When
the cover is open, the M16 fitting can be swiveled horizontally and vertically.
Unscrew the M16 fitting and remove sealing plug. Lead voltage-free supply cable
through and connect sensor in accordance with table 2 and table 5. Retighten
M16 fitting with seal so that the IP enclosure rating of the device is ensured.

7 Additional functions
Alarm
Alarm output: the sensor (WE34-Vxxx) features a pre-failure notification output (“Alarm”
in connection diagram [see "WS/WE34-Bxxx, WS/WE34-Vxxx", page 7]), which issues a
notification if the sensor is only ready for operation to a limited extent. Possible causes:
sensor is contaminated, sensor is out of alignment. PNP: Alarm → M signal reserve
> 50% LOW, NPN: Alarm → L+ signal reserve > 50% HIGH. The LED indicator flashes in
this case.

Test input
Test input: the WS34-B / -V sensors feature a test input (“TI” or “Test” on the connec‐
tion diagram [see "WS/WE34-Bxxx, WS/WE34-Vxxx", page 7 and see table 8]), which
can be used to switch the sender off and, therefore, check that the sensor is function‐
ing correctly: if female cable connectors with LED indicators are used, you have to
ensure that the TI is assigned accordingly.
There must be no object between the sender and receiver; activate the test input (see
the connection diagram [see "WS/WE34-Bxxx, WS/WE34-Vxxx", page 7 and see
table 8], TE at 0 V). The send LED is shut down or the detection of an object is simu‐
lated. Use the following table to check the function. If the switching output fails to
behave in accordance with the following table, check the application conditions. See
section Fault diagnosis.

8 Commissioning
1Alignment
Align the sender with the receiver. Select the position so that the red emitted light beam
hits the receiver. Tip: 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 4]. You
must ensure that the optical openings (front screen) of the sensors are completely clear.
