Symbols used
Certain information in this documentation is emphasized as follows to enable faster access
to the information:
Notice!
A notice indicates potentially damaging hazards or functional impairments to the TiM3xx or
its connected devices.
Warning!
A warning indicates specific or potential dangers to the user's physical integrity. It is
intended to protect the user against accidents.
The safety symbol to the left of the warning indicates the type of accident hazard e.g. due
to electricity. Increasing warning levels (CAUTION, WARNING, DANGER) indicate the severity
of the possible hazard.
Always reading warnings carefully and obey them meticulously.
ImportantThis important notice informs you about special aspects.
This symbol refers to supplementary technical documentation.
The TiM3xx is an opto-electronic laser scanner that electro-sensitively scans the perimeter
of its surroundings at a single plane with the aid of laser beams. The TiM3xx measures its
surroundings using two-dimensional polar coordinates based on its measurement origin.
This is marked on the hood in the centre using a circular indentation. If a laser beam hits
an object, its position in terms of distance and direction is determined.
Scanning is performed across a 270° sector. The maximum range of the TiM3xx is 4 m
(13.12 ft) on light, natural surfaces with an object reflectivity > 50 % (e. g. a white house
wall).
2.1Distance measurement
The TiM3xx emits pulsed laser beams using a laser diode. If one of these laser pulses hits
an object or a person, this is reflected at its surface. The reflection is detected in the
TiM3xx's receiver by a photodiode. The TiM3xx uses HDDM technology (High Definition Distance Measurement), a SICK own-development. Using this measurement method, a
measured value is formed by the average value for several individual pulses. The TiM3xx
calculates the distance to the object from the transit time required by the light from emission of the beam to receipt of the reflection. This principle of "time-of-flight measurement"
is used by radar systems in a similar manner.
2.2Direction measurement
The emitted laser beams are deflected by the TiM3xx using a rotating mirror and its surroundings scanned in a circular form. The measurements are triggered internally at regular
angle increments using an angular encoder.
The TiM3xx scans at a scanning frequency of 15 Hz. The measurement method forms an
average value from several pulses to determine individual measured values.
At an angle resolution of 1°, a measuring point is formed from the average of 84 measurements. The spot geometry of the submeasuring points is virtually circular whereas a measuring point has the form of a narrow rectangle due to overlapping.

3.2Notes on mounting
The TiM3xx can, depending on the application purpose, be mounted in any position.
Install the TiM3xx so it as unaffected by shocks and vibrations as possible.
Install the TiM3xx so it is not exposed to any direct sunlight (window, skylight) or any
other heat sources. This prevents impermissible temperature increases inside the
device.

Using several TiM3xx
The TiM3xx is designed so that mutual interference of the same types of sensors is very unlikely. To preclude even the slightest of influences on the measuring accuracy, we recommend installing the TiM3xx as in the examples below.
3.3.1Install mounting set 2 (part no. 2061776) on the TiM3xx
The hanger-shaped mounting set 2 is used as skirting protection and as a bracket for making fine adjustments on the scan plane. The TiM3xx can also be fastened directly onto the
bracket without the adapter plate (skirting protection only).
1 Mounting bracket
2 4.3 mm (0.17 in) diameter hole for mounting the mounting bracket horizontally or vertically on a
surface, 2 x 2
3 Cheese-head screw M4 x 16 (hexagon socket) and compression spring for aligning the TiM3xx,
3 x
4 Set screw for locking the adapter plate after alignment, 2 x
5 Adapter plate
6 Cheese-head screw M3 x 8 in a 3.2 mm (0.13 in) diameter hole for mounting the TiM3xx to the
adapter plate, 2 x
7 7.3.2 mm diameter hole for mounting the TiM3xx directly on the mounting bracket, 2 x (alterna-
tively, without option for making adjustments on the scan plane)
1.Mount the TiM3xx to the adapter plate using the two screws M3 x 8 supplied. For this
purpose, insert the screws from below through the hole in the mounting bracket and
the hole in the adapter plate.
2.Align the scan plane of the TiM3xx using the three cheese-head screws
3.
3.After alignment, lock the adapter plate against the mounting bracket using both set
screws
