Safety information

• Read these instructions before commissioning the TiM51x
in order to familiarize yourself with the device and its

functions.

• The TiM51x corresponds to laser class 1 ( see “Laser

radiation! Page 3”).

• Electrical connections between the TiM51x and other de­vices may only be created or xed when there is no power
to the system. Otherwise, the devices may be damaged.

• The USB cables on the TiM51x may not exceed a length of
3 m in order to ensure that it conforms with the CE.

• Conducting cross sections of the supply cable from the
customer's power system
should be designed in accordance with the applicable

standards. Secure the TiM51x with an external 0.8 A

perspective of the supply voltage.

• All electrical circuits connected to the TiM51x must be

implemented as SELV or PELV electrical circuits (SELV

= Safety Extra Low Voltage, PELV = Protective Extra Low
Voltage).

• Use the device only under permitted environmental
conditions (e.g. temperature, grounding potential,  see
“Technical data Page 3”).

• The TiM51x must not come into contact with moisture and

dust when the cover of the USB port is open or the USB

cable is connected. In this status, the TiM51x does not

correspond to any specied IP protection class.

• Opening the screws of the TiM51x housing will invalidate

Correct use

The TiM51x laser scanner is intended for use as a non-con­tact measurement sensor in standalone operation. It mea-

sures radial distances within a at surface (circle segment)
depending on reectivity. The TiM51x displays the measured
values of the recorded environment contour of its scanning
angle of 270° over RS232 interface for further processing as

either a one-off or continuously on request. This requires a

corresponding driver to be created by the user.
The device is designed for portable or stationary use indoors

or outdoors in standalone operation, with a scanning range
of up to 4 m.

The purpose of this instruction manual is to allow you to put

the TiM51x into operation quickly and easily and to achieve
the rst measured value outputs and the rst detection

results.

Further information on the mechanical and electrical instal-

lation as well as on the measured value output is available
in the & Technical Information TiM51x (Nr. 8016425). This
information is available for download on the TiM51x product

page (www.sick.com/tim51x).

The TiM is certied to IEC/EN/UL/CSA 61010-1:2007. These

• The TiM51x does not constitute personal protection equip-

ment in accordance with the respective applicable safety

standards for machines.

Commissioning and conguration

Step 1: Electrical installation

1. Connect the communication interface of the TiM51x to the

PC (RS232 or USB; recommended RS232, M12 outlet).

> If using a USB, connect the TiM51x's Micro USB port (be-

hind the black rubber plate on the side) to a free USB port
(type A) on the PC using a suitable shielded high-speed
USB cable (e.g. no. 6036106, 2 m).
The USB cable may not exceed 3 m in length!
When operating the USB interface, ESD/EMC interferenc­es can lead to an interruption of the USB connection. To
continue with the data transfer, disconnect the USB cable

from the TiM51xand reattach it to establish contact. To

re-establish communication between TiM51x and PC in the
SOPAS communication software, select

a WARNING

Risk of potential equalization currents

The TiM51x is designed to be operated in a system with pro-

fessional grounding of all connected devices and mounting

surfaces to the same ground potential. If this condition is not
met, potential equalization currents may through along the

cable shields, causing the following hazards:

• Dangerous contact voltage on the metal housing

• Malfunction or destruction of the TiM51x

• Heating of the cables with possible spontaneous combus­tion.

> See the "Electrical Installation" chapter in the & Technical

Information TiM51x (Nr. 8016425) on the product website
(www.sick.com/tim51x) for measures for eliminating

hazards.

a ATTENTION

Risques liés à des courants d’équipotentialité

Le TiM a été conçu pour être utilisé dans une installation
