Safety information
Read the notes on mounting and electrical installation before carrying out these tasks.
Read additionally the TiM5xx operating instructions to familiarize yourself with the
device and its functions.
The TiM5xx complies with laser class 1, for laser warnings see the operating instruc-
tions.
Only use the device in permissible ambient conditions (e.g. temperature, ground poten-
tial). Any applicable legal regulations or regulations of other authorities will have to be
observed during operation.
Opening the screws of the TiM5xx housing will invalidate any warranty claims against
SICK AG.
Repairs may only be performed on the TiM5xx by trained and authorized SICK AG ser-
vice personnel.
The TiM5xx does not constitute personal protection equipment in sense of the respec-
tive applicable safety standards for machines.
The TiM5xx must not come into contact with moisture and dust when the cover of the
USB port is open and/or the USB cable is connected. In this status, the TiM5xx does not
correspond to any specified IP protection class.
For CE conformity, the maximum length of all connecting cables on the TiM5xx must not
exceed 3 m.
Turn the swivel connector with the electrical connections max 180° from end position
to end position.

Operating principle of the TiM5xx
TiM55x/56x/57x ranging laser scanner
2 Operating principle of the TiM5xx
2.1 Measurement principle
The TiM5xx 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 TiM5xx 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 TiM5xx is max.
10 m (TiM55x/TiM56x) and 25 m (TiM57x) on light, natural surfaces with an object reflectivity > 50 % (e.g. a white house wall).
The scanning range is 8 m in the case of dark surfaces with remission of > 10%.
2.2 Distance measurement
The TiM5xx 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
TiM5xx's receiver by a photodiode. The TiM5xx 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 TiM5xx
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.
2.3 Direction measurement
The emitted laser beams are deflected by the TiM5xx 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. One complete rotation represents one measuring process (scan).
The TiM5xx works at a scanning frequency of 15 Hz, i.e. it performs 15 measuring processes
per second and makes the measurement results continuously available in real time via an
Ethernet interface.

84 submeasuring points
TiM5xx
Operating principle of the TiM5xx
TiM55x/56x/57x
The measurement method forms an average value from several pulses to determine individual measured values.
At an angle resolution of 1°(TiM55x) and 0.3°(TiM56x/TiM57x), a measuring point is
formed from the average of 84 measurements.

3.1 Notes on mounting
The TiM5xx can, depending on the application purpose, be mounted in any position.
Install the TiM5xx so it as unaffected by shocks and vibrations as possible.
Install the TiM5xx so it is not exposed to any direct sunlight (window, skylight) or any
other heat sources. This prevents impermissible temperature increases inside the
device.
During install ation make sure t here is no light or reflective surface behind the reference
target (see Figure ).

Using several TiM5xx
The TiM5xx 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 TiM5xx as in the examples below.
