2. For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
The product is based on the following functional principle:
Retro-reflex sensor with light band
The retro-reflex sensor with light band scans a significantly larger range than a retro-reflex sensor with a
dot-shaped spot. As a result it’s ideally suited for the reliable detection of objects with irregular shapes or
varying sizes, for example polybags. The light barrier’s light band is nearly collimated, making it very precise
and homogenous. The sensor has a very small blind spot and detects objects as of emitter beam overlap of 4
mm within the overall range of detection. It’s compact design permit installation in extremely small spaces, for
example on the side panels of a conveyor system.
This product can be used in the following industry sectors:
• Special machinery manufacturing

12 Installation and Electrical Connection
5. Installation and Electrical Connection
5.1 Installation
• Protect the product from contamination during installation.
• Observe all applicable electrical and mechanical regulations, standards, and safety rules.
• Protect the product against mechanical influences.
• Make sure that the sensor is mounted in a mechanically secure fashion.
• Specified torque values must be complied with (see Technical Data on page 10).
The following installation instructions must be observed in order to assure that the sensor can function cor-
rectly:
5.1.1 Reference Setup
All sensor values are based on a reference setup which demonstrates the following characteristics:
• The P1ELxxx sensor and the conveyor belt’s zero level (conveyor level) are arranged at a right angle to
each other.
• The conveyor level doesn’t fluctuate at all.
• The sensor is mounted such that the bottom edge of the emitted light band is at the conveyor level.
• The sensor’s light band is parallel to the conveyor level (max. tolerance: +0/–2 mm).
• The utilized reflector is inclined 2° and captures the entire light band.

13Retro-Reflex Sensor
5.1.2 Lateral Reflector Inclination
Z90R007 through Z90R009 reflectors, which are laid out for the P1ELxxx, are inclined 2° due to their format
and can be mounted without lateral tilting.
The reflectors listed in section 3.1, “Switching Distance”, are not inclined and must therefore be mounted at
an inclined angle of 2° (±0.5°). The direction in which the reflector is tilted depends on the installation situa-
tion and must correspond exactly to the illustration.
Insulation situation 1
Insulation situation 2

14 Installation and Electrical Connection
5.1.3 Aligning the Reflector
Z90R007 through Z90R009 reflectors must be mounted as shown in the following illustration. Correct
inclination of the surface of the reflector relative to the sensor is described in section „5.1.2 Lateral Reflector
Inclination“ on page 13.

15Retro-Reflex Sensor
5.1.4 Sensor Inclination
Deviation of the top edge of the light band should not exceed +0 to –2 mm of downward sloping to the con-
veyor plane in order to permit detection of the smallest object. Deviation amounting to more than this value
leads to poor detection of small or flat objects.
Ideal Alignment
Incorrect Alignment
Excessive tilting of the sensor (> 2 mm downward sloping of the top edge of the light band) towards the
conveyor plane results in an area with reduced detection of small objects which are in close proximity to the
sensor.

16 Installation and Electrical Connection
Tilting the sensor away from the conveyor plane results in an area with reduced detection of small objects
which are far away from the sensor, i.e. close to the reflector.
NOTE!
Ideal alignment can be easily determined by means of the band of light above the conveyor
belt. First of all, height is determined from the conveyor belt to the uppermost point of the
band of light directly on the sensor. Afterwards, height is determined from the conveyor belt
to the uppermost point of the band of light on the reflector. Alignment is ideal when these
two distances are identical.
wenglor recommends a sensor adjustment range with parallel upper light-band edge, or
maximum downward sloping of the upper edge of the light band amounting to 2 mm within
the corresponding working range.
ATTENTION!
Risk of property damage in case of improper installation!
The product may be damaged.
• Installation instructions must be complied with.
CAUTION!
Risk of personal injury or property damage during installation!
Personal injury and damage to the product may occur.
• A safe installation environment must be assured.

19Retro-Reflex Sensor
6. Settings
NOTE!
It takes three minutes for the sensor to warm up. In order to assure interference-free opera-
tion, teach-in should not be conducted until after the warm-up phase.
6.1 Standard Teach
The sensor is taught in such that it demonstrates stable switching performance despite interference such
as vibration. In this mode, the smallest part which can be detected is somewhat larger than in the precise
detection mode.
• Install the sensor in accordance with the mounting instructions.
• Align the sensor to the reflector.
• Press and hold the teach-in key until switching status indicator A1 starts blinking slowly (2 Hz) after two
seconds.
• Release the teach-in key.
• The switching threshold is taught in and the LED for A1 blinks twice in order to confirm successful
teach-in.
6.2 Precision Teach – with Stationary Conveyor Belt
The sensor is taught in such that the detection of very small parts is possible. With the conveyor belt at a
standstill, the sensor is set to a signal analysis phase which lasts for 10 seconds. The sensor’s receive signals
are analyzed during this time, on the basis of which the switching threshold is calculated.
• Install the sensor in accordance with the mounting instructions.
• Align the sensor to the reflector.
• Press and hold the teach-in key until switching status indicator A1 starts blinking rapidly (4 Hz) after five
seconds.
• Release the teach-in key.
• Recording is started during which the LED continues to blink at a rate of 4 Hz.
• The calculated switching threshold is taught in and the LED for A1 blinks twice in order to confirm suc-
cessful teach-in. If teach-in has not been successful, LED A1 blinks 4 times. If this is the case, the proce-
dure must be repeated.

20 Maintenance Instructions
6.3 Dynamic Teach – with Running Conveyor Belt
The sensor is taught in such that, depending on the application, minimal thresholds can be set in order to
detect smallest possible parts by means of this process. With running conveyor belt, the sensor is set to a
signal analysis phase which lasts for 10 seconds. The application-specific receive signals are analyzed by the
sensor during this time, on the basis of which the switching threshold is calculated. And thus application-spe-
cific receive signals do not result in erroneous sensors switching.
• Install the sensor in accordance with the mounting instructions.
• Align the sensor to the reflector.
• Press and hold the teach-in key until switching status indicator A1 starts blinking rapidly (4 Hz) after five
seconds.
• Release the teach-in key.
• Recording is started during which the LED continues to blink at a rate of 4 Hz.
• The sensor analyzes the receive signals for 10 seconds, on the basis of which it calculates a precise
switching threshold that’s matched to the application.
• The calculated switching threshold is taught in and the LED for A1 blinks twice in order to confirm suc-
cessful teach-in. If teach-in has not been successful, LED A1 blinks 4 times. If this is the case, the proce-
dure must be repeated.
NOTE!
If the sensor is used at a very small distance above a conveyor belt, it’s advisable to acti-
vate the belt during the recording phase. Height fluctuations, impacts, belt seams etc. are
analyzed as a result and made use of when calculating the switching threshold. Erroneous
switching due to the conveyor belt can be avoided in this way.
7. Maintenance Instructions
NOTE!
• This wenglor sensor is maintenance-free.
• Cleaning and inspection of the plug connections at regular intervals are advisable.
• Do not clean the sensor with solvents or cleansers which could damage the product.
• The product must be protected against contamination during initial start-up.
8. Proper Disposal
wenglor sensoric GmbH does not accept the return of unusable or irreparable products. Respectively valid
national waste disposal regulations apply to product disposal.
