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
supply voltage does not drop below 8 V for longer than
2 ms and never rises above 30 V.

• 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 specied 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 reectivity. 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 certied 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 conguration
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

2. Turn on and start the PC.
3. Provide power to the TiM51x (5-pin M12 plug).
Using the power supply unit it must be ensured that the

3”, point
1. Optional: mount the TiM51x to separately ordered mounting accessories (mounting kit 2), see "Mounting" Chapter
in the & Technical Information TiM51x (Nr. 8016425).
2. Otherwise, mount the two straight plates from the en-
closed mounting kit 1 on the TiM51x using two M3 screws.
Use the two blind-hole threads either on the underside or
back of the housing ( see “Device overview 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 TiM51x on a prepared bracket.
The device should be as free from shock and vibration as
possible during operation (e.g. using vibration dampers).
4. Align the 90° axis of the TiM51x's scanning angle with the
center of the area to be monitored. The
lid of the optical hood serves as a bearing alignment aid
( see “Device overview Page 3”).

Step 3: Commissioning/Conguration
a. Installing and launching the SOPAS conguration
software
The SOPAS conguration software is used as standard to
display the surrounding contour (measuring line) recorded by
the TiM51x, as well as diagnostic information in the event of
an error.
1. Download and install on the PC the software from the
website “www.sick.com/SOPAS_ET“, software type SOPAS
ET. 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. Start the “SOPAS” program option after completing the
installation.
Path: Start > Programs > SICK > SOPAS Engineering Tool
> SOPAS.
When SOPAS detects a connected TiM51x for the rst
time, it automatically installs the required USB driver. It
may be necessary to restart the PC at this point.
3. Establish communication between SOPAS and TiM51x over
the automatically opened assistant. Select the TiM51x
from the list of available devices and follow the steps in
the Connection Wizard.

4. Click
SOPAS ET establishes communication with the TiM51x,
loads its current device description (parameters), and
displays it in the navigation tree.

b. Output of measured values
If the TiM51x receives one of the two following commands
by telegram over the RS232 or USB interface it will start
the output of measured values in real time over these data
interfaces.
The detailed construction of the output telegram as well as
the ow of requests and outputs is described in the "Measured value output“ in the & Technical Information TiM51x
(Nr. 8016425).

in the dialog window and establish communication with
the TiM51x over the RS232 or USB interface.
3. Enter one of the two telegrams in the "Send telegram"
input line as they appear (automatically framed by STX and
ETX when sending in the default setting). Pay attention to
blank characters in the string.
4. Use the
button to transfer the telegram to the TiM51x.
The TiM51x responds by providing the data as a one-off or
continuously in the display area of the terminal emulator.
Data output format of the measured values
The data output format per scan is comprised of the
measured values (radial distance, RSSI), device and status
information and time stamp.
In the default settings, the distance is output as a measured
value (in mm).
In order to output remission values in the telegram, select the
Rssi checkbox.
To display the remission values in the scan as well, select the
Rssi... checkbox.
Output range of the measured values
The TiM51x scans an angle range of 270°(-45° to 225°) and
outputs 271 measured values per scan in the default setting.
The angle range for which measured values can be output
can be set via
output RanGe (resolution 3°).
