2. For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
The product is based on the following functional principle:
Reflex Sensors with Background Suppression
Reflex sensors with background suppression analyze the light reflected from objects. As these sensors work
according to the principle of angular measurement, the color, shape and surface characteristics of the object
have almost no influence on the detection range. Even dark objects can be reliably detected against a bright
background. The output is switched as soon as an object passes the selected range.
This product can be used in the following industry sectors:
• Special machinery manufacturing
• Heavy machinery manufacturing
• Logistics
• Automotive industry
• Food industry
• Packaging industry
• Pharmaceuticals industry
• Plastics industry
• Woodworking industry
• Consumer goods industry
• Paper industry
• Electronics industry
• Glass industry
• Steel industry
• Aviation industry
• Chemicals industry
• Alternative energy
• Raw materials extraction
2.2 Use for Other than the Intended Purpose
• Not a safety component in accordance with 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive)
• The product is not suitable for use in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• The product may only be used with accessories supplied or approved by wenglor, or combined with
approved products. A list of approved accessories and combination products can be accessed at
www.automationdirect.com on the product detail page.
DANGER!

Required action in case of fault:
NOTE!
• Shut down the machine.
• Analyze and eliminate the cause of error with the help of the diagnostics information.
• If the error cannot be eliminated, please contact AutomationDirect’s support department.
• Do not operate in case of indeterminate malfunctioning.
• The machine must be shut down if the error cannot be unequivocally clarified or reliably
eliminated.
DANGER!
Risk of personal injury or property damage in case of non-compliance!
The system’s safety function is disabled. Personal injury and damage to equipment.
• Required action as specified in case of fault.
6. Settings
6.1 Object Detection Directly in Front of a Background or an Undersurface
• Adjust and securely mount the sensor such that the spot strikes the object to be detected at a right angle.
• Turn the potentiometer all the way to the right.
• Remove the object and slowly turn the potentiometer back until the output is switched. The background or
the undersurface is now suppressed.
• Put the object back under the spot and check to determine whether or not the sensor is activated again.
6.2 Detection of Objects Without Interfering Background
• Adjust and securely mount the sensor such that the spot strikes the object to be detected.
• Turn the potentiometer all the way to the left.
• Turn up the potentiometer up until activation occurs and, if required, turn it up a bit further for increased
switching reliability.
7. IO-Link
Further settings are possible via the IO-Link interface. The IODD can be found at www.automationdirect.com
