Connection, mounting, and setting may only be performed by skilled per‐
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.

Figure 4: Alignment
2Sensing range
Note application conditions: Adjust distance between sender and receiver with the associ‐
ated diagram [see figure 5] (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 distance between
the through-beam photoelectric sensors. By doing this, mutual interference can be pre‐
vented [see figure 1].

3Sensitivity setting
Sensor with potentiometer: open the sensor cover and protective hood, make sure that no
dirt has gotten into the device.
The sensitivity is adjusted with the potentiometer (type: without stop). Clockwise rotation:
operating reserve increased; counterclockwise rotation: operating reserve reduced. We rec‐
ommend setting the potentiometer to “Maximum”.
The sensor is adjusted and ready for operation.
4Time function setting
WS/WE34xx4x: no time delay, t1 = time delay, t2 = time delay; for -R: 0 = relay deactivated,
1 = relay active. Time delay selector switch can be set on the device according to the fol‐
lowing graphic.
Time stages: 0.5 ... 10 s can be adjusted.

10 Troubleshooting
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.
Table 9: Troubleshooting
LED indicator/fault pattern Cause Measures
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the light beam is
aligned to the receiver 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
No object in beam path, no out‐
put signal
Test input (Test) is not con‐
nected properly
Check connection of the test
input. When using female
cable connectors with LED
indicators, make sure the test
input is assigned correspond‐
ingly.
Yellow LED flashes; if Alarm is
present then take note of the
corresponding output signal
Sensor is still ready for opera‐
tion, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
Check operating conditions:
align light beam (light stop)
completely on the receiver/
cleaning of optical surfaces /if
potentiometer is set to max.
sensitivity: reduce distance
between sender and
receiver /Check sensing range
and adjust if necessary.

11 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.
•
This symbol on the product, its package or in this document, indicates
that a product is subject to these regulations.
12 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.

Maximal zulässiges Anzugsdrehmoment des Sensors von 2 Nm beachten.
19 Elektrische Installation
Anschluss der Sensoren muss spannungsfrei erfolgen. Je nach Anschlussart sind die
folgenden Informationen zu beachten:
– Steckeranschluss: Pinbelegung beachten: wenn der Deckel geöffnet ist, kann der
Stecker nach horizontal und vertikal geschwenkt werden
– Klemmenanschluss: Zulässigen Leitungsdurchmesser von 5 bis 10 mm beachten.
Wenn der Deckel geöffnet ist, kann die M16-Verschraubung nach horizontal und
vertikal geschwenkt werden. M16-Verschraubung lösen und Dichtungsstopfen ent‐
fernen. Spannungsfreie Versorgungsleitung durchführen und Sensor nach
Tabelle 12 und Tabelle 15 anschließen. M16-Verschraubung mit Dichtung wieder
anziehen, damit die IP-Schutzart des Gerätes sichergestellt wird.
