4 Mounting
Mount the sensorusing a suitable mounting bracket (see the SICK range of accesso‐
ries).
Note the preferred orientation of the sensor relative to the direction of object motion,
refer to figure 3.
Figure 3: Sensor orientation relative to object direction
5 Electrical installation
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.
Explanation of connection terminology:
BN = Brown
WH = White

5.1 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
6 Commissioning
6.1 Alignment
Align sensor on object. Select the position so that the red emitted light beam hits the
center of the object. You must ensure that the optical opening (front screen) of the
sensor is completely clear [see figure 4].
Figure 4: Alignment
6.2 Sensing range
Adjust the mounting position to ensure the sensing range and the background are
within the specifications. See see figure 5, page 11.
NOTE
Observe the minimum distance of 5mm.
