damage.
• Select and design conductor cross sections of the supply
cable from the customer's power system in accordance
with the applicable standards. If the supply voltage for the
Short range
Detecting laser scanner
TiM31x is not fed via the optional CDB730-001 connection
module, protect the TiM31x with an external 0.8 A delay-
action fuse at the start of the supply cable.
• All electrical circuits connected to the TiM31x must be
designed as SELV circuits (Safety Extra Low Voltage).
• Only use the device under permitted ambient conditions
(e.g. temperature, ground potential) ( see “Technical
specications, page 3”).
• Protect the TiM31x from moisture and dust when the cover
of the USB socket is open. So as to adhere to the IP 65
enclosure rating during operation, the black rubber plate
must be ush mounted on the housing.
• Do not open the TiM31x’s screw connection housing,
as doing so will invalidate any warranty claim against
SICK AG.
• The TiM31x does not constitute personal protection equipment in accordance with the respective applicable safety
standards for machines.
Commissioning and conguration
Indended use
The TiM31x laser scanner is an intelligent sensor for invis-
ibly detecting objects in areas to be monitored (elds). It is
designed for portable or stationary use indoors in standalone
operation, with a range of up to 4 m. Combined actuation via
the four switching inputs activates one of the 16 eld sets
as an evaluation case for eld monitoring. Each congurable
eld set offers three origin-oriented, partially overlapping
elds of uniform shape, but with different sizes. Field sets
with xed or freely denable shapes are available. The
TiM31x signals detected eld infringements in relation to the
three elds through a combination of three switching outputs.
The TiM31x is available in both a PNP and an NPN variant.
The NPN variant is identied by S02 in the type code on the
type label.
The purpose of this instruction manual is to allow you to put
the TiM31x into operation quickly and easily with predened
eld sets, and to achieve the rst detection results.
Further information concerning mechanical and electrical
installation can be found in the & Technical Information
(no. 8014318). This can be accessed on the TiM31x product
web page (www.mysick.com/de/tim31x).

Step 1: Electrical installation
Connect the TiM31x as followed, depending on the plug type
on the black connecting cable:
1. Connect the 15-pin D-Sub HD plug of the connecting cable
to the corresponding socket on the CDB730-001 connection module.
Connect the 12-pin M12 plug of the connecting cable to a
customer-provided connection box.
To do so, make a connection box with a 12-pin socket. This
is used like the connection module to connect the supply
voltage, and for signal routing of the switching inputs and
outputs (refer to the “Electrical installation” chapter in the
& Technical Information (no. 8014318)).
2. Connect the TiM31x’s Micro USB socket (behind the black
rubber plate on the side) to a free USB socket (type A) on
the PC using a suitable shielded high-speed USB cable
(e.g. no. 6036106, 2 m). Do not extend the cable!
3. Supply the TiM31x with voltage.
Using the power supply unit it must be ensured that the
supply voltage does not drop below 8 V for longer than
2 ms and never rises above 30 V. Following successful
initialization, the green LED “

1. Optionally, attach the TiM31x to the mounting accessories
ordered separately (mounting kit 2); see the “Mounting”
chapter in the & Technical Information (no. 8014318).
2. Otherwise, mount the two straight plates from the
enclosed mounting kit 1 on the TiM31x using 2 M3
screws. For this, use the two blind hole threads on either
the underside or the rear of the housing ( see “Device
structure, page 3”). If the straight plates are not used,
screw the screws provided by the customer max. 2.8 mm
into the thread.
3. Mount the TiM31x on a prepared bracket. The device
should be as free from vibration as possible during operation.
4. Align the 90° axis of the TiM31x’s scanning angle with the
center of the area to be monitored. The
mark on the
cover of the optical hood serves as an alignment aid for
direction nding ( see “Device structure, page 3”).

Step 3: Conguration
a. Conguration without PC
The TiM31x offers two possibilities for this:
• Using one of 16 default eld sets, each with 3 predened
elds with the same eld shape, but different sizes.
• Teach-in of the surrounding contour to automatically gener-
ate the outer eld with any shape, including more complex
shapes, and to deduce the two inner elds.
The eld sets are organized into groups with the eld shapes:
segmented (shape freely denable, default: rectangle), rect-
90°
angle and semi-circle (only the size of these last two can be
changed). The 3 origin-oriented elds of a set always overlap
to some extent and form a triple.

The limits of the outer eld 3 and the middle eld 2 relate
to the limits of the inner eld 1. The relationship between
the limits is xed as a percentage for the eld sets 1 to 4;
the limits of eld 2 and eld 3 can be adjusted freely for the
eld sets 5 to 16 if needed, using the SOPAS conguration
software. The following rules apply: Field 1 may not be larger
than eld 2, and eld 2 may not be larger than eld 3; neither
may elds be congruent.
For the dimensions of the respective eld 1 and its default
shape as well as for the wiring of the switching inputs
required for eld set selection see “Field set – switching
input assignment, page 3”.
Preparing for teach-in
In general, the function button and two LEDs on the device
are used for teach-in.
• Remove all objects that will not permanently be in the eld
of view in monitoring mode later on.
• Distance yourself sufciently from the TiM31x during the
advance warning phase of the teach-in, so that you are not
detected as part of the eld contour.
Teaching in the eld contour
The TiM31x uses the eld set 1 (segmented, initial shape:
rectangle) to adjust the eld shape and size to the surround-
ing contour detected. The switching inputs may not be supplied with current during this process.
The TiM31x forms the outer eld 3 from the surrounding contour with a negative offset of 100 mm (3.94 in), and deduces
the limits of the two inner elds from this, so that eld 2 =
eld 1 plus 25 % and eld 3 = eld 1 plus 52 %.
• The eld shape to be formed can be dened by depreciat-
ing the limits during the teach-in phase. Do not wear black
clothing during this process!

In case of eld infringement
The TiM31x automatically stores the new eld set 1 perma-
nently.
b. Conguration with PC
By default, the 3 elds of a eld set and other parameters
of the TiM31x are adapted to the application and the
diagnostics are performed in case of a fault using the SOPAS
conguration software.
If the eld shape of the eld set 1 has been taught in without
a PC using the function button, in general SOPAS is used to
continue the conguration.
This includes continuing to set the eld shapes/sizes, nonteachable eld sets based on the default setting and the
response time of the elds, the blanking size and the holding
(duration) time of the assigned switching outputs OUT 1 ...
OUT 3.
The blanking size is the object diameter above which an
object not present in the TiM31x’s scanning angle leads to
a eld infringement. Like the response time and the holding
time, the blanking size applies to all eld sets and their elds.
Installing and starting the SOPAS conguration software
1. Download and install on the PC the software from the web-
site “www.mysick.com/en/SOPAS_ET”, SOPAS ET software
type. In this case, select the “Complete” option as selected
by the installation wizard. Administrator rights may be
required on the PC to install the software.
2. Once installation is complete, start the “Single Device”
program option.
Path: Start > Program Files > SICK > SOPAS Engineering
Tool > SOPAS (Single Device).
When SOPAS detects a connected TiM31x for the rst
time, it automatically installs the required USB driver. It
may be necessary to restart the PC at this point.
3. Establish a connection between SOPAS and TiM31x using
the wizard that opens automatically. Select the TiM31x
from the list of available devices.
SOPAS program window (Single Device)
Field monitor display window
• In the Field monitor window, SOPAS displays the eld
contour (scan line) currently seen in the reection of the
surroundings in blue. If the 4 switching inputs are not supplied with current, SOPAS also displays the three protective
elds (segmented rectangles) for the eld set 1 according
to the TiM31x’s default setting, or the eld shape gener-
ated using the teach-in function with its dimensions, the
status of the switching inputs/outputs and the position of
the mouse pointer.
• SOPAS displays the elds in green if no eld infringement
is present. If objects of a particular size and duration
( see “Default settings TiM31x, page 2”) are located
in the part of the scanning angle that is covered by elds,
the TiM31x recognizes this as a eld infringement. SOPAS
displays this separately for the individual elds in yellow.
When a CDB730-001 connection module is used, the
LEDs OUT 1 ... OUT 3 light depending of the eld infringe-
ment ( see “Assignment of infringed elds - switching
outputs, page 3”)

and observe the effects this has on detection in the eld
monitor.
Clicking the
reset button in SOPAS resets the counters on
the switching outputs.
Continuing conguration
Field editor display window
1. To optimize the monitored elds of the eld sets used by
the TiM31x manually, click the
Field editor tab at the top of
the program window.
2. Select the eld set 1, for example, under
Field name on the
right of the window.
3. Adjust the settings for other functions such as response
times of the elds, blanking size and holding (duration)
time output under
settings on the right of the program
window. When selecting the response time, note that the
tim31x also has its own internal response time.
4. To check the effects of the settings applied, click the
monitor tab at the top.
