Product description
The lcs-sensor with one analogue out-
put measures the distance to an object
within the detection zone contactless. A
signal proportional to distance is cre-
ated according to the adjusted window
margings of the analogue characteristic
curve.
The sensor automatically detects the
load put to the analogue output and
switches to current output or voltage
output respectively.
Choosing between rising and falling
output characteristic is possible.
Light emitting diodes (three-colour
LEDs) indicate the operation conditions.
The sensors can be trained using Teach-
in processes.
Using the LinkControl adapter (optional
accessory) all sensor parameter settings
may be made by a Windows-Software.
Important instructions for assembly and
application
All employee and plant safety-relevant
measures must be taken prior to assembly,
start-up, or maintenance work (see operation
manual for the entire plant and the operator
instruction of the plant).
The sensors are not considered as safety
equipment and may not be used to ensure
human or machine safety!
The lcs-sensors indicate a blind zone, in
which the distance cannot be measured. The
operating range indicates the distance of the
sensor that can be applied with normal re-
flectors with sufficient function reserve.
When using good reflectors, such as a calm
water surface, the sensor can also be used up
to its maximum range. Objects that strongly
absorb (e.g. plastic foam) or diffusely reflect
sound (e.g. pebble stones) can also reduce
the defined operating range.
Assembly instructions
Assemble the sensor at the installation
location.
Plug in the connector cable to the M12
connector.

lcs-sensors are delivered factory made with
the following settings:
Rising analogue characteristic
Window margins for the analogue out-
put set to blind zone and operating
range
Measurement range set to maximum

Set the parameters of the sensor using the
Teach-in procedure.
≥0.25 m
≥0.35 m
≥1.30 m
≥2.50 m
≥1.10 m ≥8.00 m
Operation
lcs-sensors work maintenance free. Small
amounts of dirt on the surface do not influ-
ence function. Thick layers of dirt and caked-
on dirt affect sensor function and therefore
must be removed.
Note
lcs-sensors have internal temperature
compensation. Because the sensors heat
up on their own, the temperature com-
pensation reaches its optimum working
point after approx. 30 minutes of opera-
tion.
If an object is within the set window
margins of the analogue output, then
LED D1 lights up green, if the object is
outside the window margins, then LED
D1 lights up red.
The load put to the analogue output is
detected automatically when turning
supply voltage on.

Detection zones
The dark grey areas are determined
with a thin round bar (10 mm dia.)
and indicate the typical operating range
of a sensor. In order to obtain the light grey
areas, a plate (100 x 100 mm) is introduced
into the beam spread from the side.
In doing so, the optimum angle between
plate and sensor is always employed.
This therefore indicates the maximum
