Correct use

The TiM55x/TiM56x laser scanner (referred to as the TiM
below) is intended for use as a non-contact measurement
sensor in standalone operation. It measures radial distances

within a at surface (circle segment) depending on reectivity.
The TiM displays the measured values of the recorded envi­ronment contour of its scanning angle of 270° over the Ether-

net or USB 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 10 m.

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

the TiM 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 (Nr. 8015883). This information

is available for download on the TiM product page (www.sick.
com/tim5xx).

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

operating instructions may contain passages of text in a
foreign language.

Safety information

• Read these instructions before commissioning the TiM

in order to familiarize yourself with the device and its

functions.

• The TiM corresponds to laser class 1 ( see “Laser radia-

tion! Page 3”).

• Mounting and electrical installation are to be performed

only by qualied technicians.

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

• Conducting cross sections of the supply cable from the
customer's power system should be designed in accor­dance with the applicable standards. Secure the TiM with
an external 0.8 A slow-blow fuse at the start of the supply

cable, from the perspective of the supply voltage.

• All circuits connected to the TiM must be designed SELV
or PELV 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”).

• Turn the swivel connector unit with the electrical connec­tions max 180° from end position to end position.

• Protect the TiM against moisture and dust when the cover

to the USB socket is open. The black plastic cover must
be screwed ush in order to comply with enclosure rating

IP 67 in operation.

• Opening the screws of the TiM housing will invalidate any
warranty claims against SICK AG.

• The TiM 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 TiM to the

PC (Ethernet or USB; recommended Ethernet, 4-pin M12

outlet).

> If using a USB, connect the TiM's Micro USB port (behind

the black plastic cover 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 TiMand reattach it to establish contact. To
re-establish communication between TiM and PC in the
SOPAS communication software, select

a WARNING

Risk of potential equalization currents

The TiM 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 TiM

• Heating of the cables with possible spontaneous combus­tion.

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

Information (Nr. 8015883) on the product website (www.
sick.com/tim5xx) 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
prévoyant une mise à la terre correcte de tous les appareils
et surfaces de montage raccordés sur un même potentiel de
sol. Si cette condition n’est pas remplie, des courants d’équi­potentialité risquent dans certaines conditions de passer par
les blindages des câbles et d’exposer aux risques suivants :

• tension de contact dangereuse sur le boitier en métal,

• comportement incorrect ou destruction du TiM.

• chauffe des câbles jusqu’à leur inammation spontanée.

> Pour des mesures de prévention de tels risques, voir le
