2. For Your Safety
2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
The product is based on the following functional principle:
Retro-Reflex Sensor
In retro-reflex sensors, the transmitter and receiver are located in a single housing.
They operate using red light, laser light and a reflector. The output switches if the light beam between the
sensor and reflector is interrupted. Even shiny, chromed or reflective surfaces can be reliably detected thanks
to the integrated polarization filter.
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

16 Settings
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 wenglor’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
• Align the sensor to the reflector.
• Make sure that the sensor and the reflector are mounted in a mechanically secure fashion.
• Turn the potentiometer all the way to the right.
• Turn the potentiometer back if required (detection of small or transparent objects).
• Move the object into the sensor’s working range and check for correct functioning.
Programmable Time Delay (P1NL404, P1NL405, P1NL408, P1NL409, P1NL411, P1NL412)
The minimum scanning time of 100 µs is to short for most PLC’s. If the program input is connected at the plus
potential, a predetermined time delay of 20 ms is activated.
