INSTRUCTION MANUAL

This product is not a safety sensor. It is not intended to be used to protect life or prevent bodily injury or damage from dangerous machine parts. It is a normal object detection sensor.

CONTROLS

OUTPUT LED

The yellow LED ON i ndicates that the N.O. (normal ly open) output status is closed.

POWER ON LED

The green LED indicates that the sensor is operating.

TRIMMER

The trim mer can be used to adjust s ensitivity; the operating distance increases turning the trimmer clockwise.

WARNING

: The trimmer rotation is limited to 270° by a

mechanical stop. Do not apply excessive torque when adjusting (max 40 N•m).

INSTALLATION

M18-L (plastic): The sensor can be fixed by means of the

M18x1 threaded body through a ∅ 18 mm hole, using the specific washer and the two C H.24 nuts enclosed (1.5 N•m maximum tightening torque). Alternatively, the sensor can be mounted through the two housing’s holes using two screws (M3x22 or longer) and washer. Amongst the various poss ibl e s oluti ons , we suggest to choose the combination that offers the best visibility of the signalling LEDs and the easiest access to the trimmer. 22 mm nuts, h=8 m m, (2 N•m maximum tightening torque) are available to guarantee an improved torque.

M18-L (metal): The s ensor can be fi xed by means of the M18x1

threaded body through a ∅ 18 mm hol e, using the specific washer and the two CH .24 nuts enclosed ( 22 N•m maximum tightening torque).

For both plastic version and metallic version are available various orientable fixing brackets to ease the sensor positioning. The operating di stance i s measur ed from the front surface of the sensor lens. In case of lateral translation, the object must move as indicated in the figure.

CONNECTIONS

The connections are compliant to the EN 60947-5-2 standard.

SETTING

Setting of M18-LP…

Position the sensor and reflector on opposite sides. Turn the sensitivity trimmer to the maximum position. Moving the sensor both vertically and horizontally, determine the power O N and O FF points of the OUT PUT LED and then mount the sensor in the middle of the points defined. If necessary reduce sensitivity in order to detect very small targets. In order to improve alignment, repeat the pr ocedure detailed above whilst progressively reducing the sensitivity.

Setting of M18-LT…

Position the sensors on opposite sides. Turn the sens itivity trimmer to maximum: moving the sensor both vertically and horizontally, determi ne the power ON and OFF points of the OUTPUT LED and then mount the sensor in the middle of the points defined. If necessary, reduce sensi tivity using the trimmer, in order to detect very small targets. In order to improve alignment, repeat the procedure detail ed above whilst pr ogres s ively reducing the sensitivity.

Setting of M18-LD…

Turn the sensitivity trimmer to minimum: the OUTPUT LED is OFF. Position the target to detect in front of the sensor.

MAX

Turn the sens itivity trimm er cl ockwis e until the O UTPUT LED turns ON (Target detected state, pos.A). Remove the target, the OUTPUT LED turns OFF. Turn the sens itivity trimm er cl ockwis e until the O UTPUT LED turns ON (Background detected state, pos.B). The trimmer reaches maximum if the background is not detected. Turn the trim mer to the interm ediate positi on C, between the two positions A and B.

TEST FUNCTION (M18-LT)

The T EST input can be used to inhi bit the emitter and verify that the system is correctly operating. The r eceiver output should switch when the test i s activated while the beam is uninterrupted. The input activating voltage range is 10…30 VDC.
