1. Proper Use
This wenglor product has to be used according to the following functional principle:
High Performance Distance Sensors
This group brings together the most powerful sensors for distance measurement, which work in reflex mode ac-
cording to different principles. High performance distance sensors are particularly fast and precise, and dem-
onstrate their high efficiency over large working ranges. They are ideally suited for demanding applications.
Even black and shiny objects are reliably detected. Ethernet technology is integrated into selected sensors.

5. Mounting Instructions
All applicable electrical and mechanical regulations, standards and safety precautions must be adhered to
when installing and operating the Sensor. The Sensor must be protected against mechanical influences. Install
the device such that its installation position cannot be inadvertently changed. The wenglor mounting system is
recommended for installing the Sensor. Additionally a suiting reflector or reflex foil has to be mounted.
6. Initial Start-Up
6.1. Initial Start-Up
Connect the Sensor to supply power (18 to 30 V DC). The display view appears.
The Sensor is ready for operation after 2 seconds. The following table provides an overview of typical, addi-
tional deviations during the warm-up phase.

Via Pin “A3”
Via the multifunctional pin A3, the offset equalization can be applied through an external trigger Sensor
(corresponds to the menu Offset àApply àT).Here, A3 must be configured by means of the setting Offset
as input (see “7.2. Pin Function” page 12).
In order to apply the Offset equalization, a voltage > 7 V should be applied at the input pin to trigger a positive
flank. Here, the value set in the menu option Preset is accepted as the current distance.

18 Functional Overview
Without Offset equalization:
In the diagram, the Sensor measures a distance of 5000 mm.
The switching point is located 2000 mm distant, at 7000 mm.

With application of the offset equalization: Specification offset: 0 mm
In the diagram, the Sensor measures a distance of 5000 mm. The switching point is located 2000 mm distant,
at 7000 mm. After application of the offset equalization, from the distance 5000 mm the distance becomes 0
mm. The switching distance thus gets displaced by 7000 mm to the actual 12000 mm.

at 7000 mm. After application of the offset equalization, from the distance 5000 mm the distance becomes 3000
mm. The switching distance thus gets displaced by 4000 mm to the actual 9000 mm.

High Performance Distance Sensors
Example of application:
A X1TA101MHV80 is used in a high rack warehouse with varying ambient temperatures. To eliminate the
temperature drift, a reference path of 1000 mm is specified to the Sensor as the specification offset. Through
an external trigger Sensor, the specification offset is applied and given to the Sensor as the current distance.
This ensures that the distance tallies with the value of the reference route with every trigger signal and thus, the
varying ambient temperature has no influence on the measurement values of the Sensor.

For the products X1TA101MHT88 the laser light can be switched off via pin 5, by connecting pin 5 to 24 V.
If Pin 5 has already been set as an RS-232 interface, the laser diode can be switched off with an interface
command, in the menu or via the A3 input (see “7.2. Pin Function”/”7.4.2. A3 Input”).
In case of the X1TA101MHV80 the laser diode can be switched off via pin 8, by connecting pin 8 to 24 V.
