4. Transport and Storage 4.1 Transport Upon receipt of shipment, inspect the goods for damage in transit. In the case of damage, conditionally accept the package and notify the manufacturer of the damage. Then return the device making reference to damage in transit.
(see section “5.1.3 Permissible Object Dimensions”, page 16). Mounting is possible with wenglor’s ZPTX001 or ZPTX003 quick mounting system or the ZPTX002 mounting bracket (not included in scope of delivery). The sensors can also be attached to any retaining system via the mounting holes with M4 screws.
5.1.1 Installation with the ZPTX001/3 Quick Mounting System First of all, the retaining plate is clipped to the conveyor with the help of the percussion rivets included with the ZPTX001 (A). A 7 mm diameter hole is required to this end. The sensor is then inserted into the bottom guide and snapped into the retaining plate by pushing it to the back (B).
The sensor can be removed by pressing gently with a screwdriver at the top in order to release the mechanism and then pulling the sensor out to the front (C). The retaining plate can be removed by unscrewing the percussion rivets with a screwdriver (D). Optionally, the retaining plate can be attached to the conveyor using M5 screws.
5.1.3 Permissible Object Dimensions Lane width Permissible object dimensions depend on conveyor system’s lane width and the utilized mounting system. The sensor’s inclination angle is not changed when mounted with the ZPTX001 or ZPTX003 quick mounting 3° system. 7° When mounted with the ZPTX002 mounting bracket, the sensor can be tilted up by as much as 5.5°.
The sensors are connected to each other in series using the M12 cables (see figure 1). The maximum num- ber of sensors which can be operated in a single chain depends on the utilized power supply. The direction of conveyance must be taken into consideration in this respect. Supply power can be fed to plug ...

The process error can also be configured to an output, so that it switches as soon as a material jam is detected. Conduct in case of fault: NOTE! • Analyze and eliminate the cause of error on the basis of the diagnostics information. • If the error cannot be eliminated, please contact wenglor’s support department.

6.2.2 Operating Modes Single Discharge Fixed Zones An individual object is released from its accumulation position and forwarded. Subsequent objects can be moved up one by one. The accumulation position must always be at least as large as the largest object. Manual removal of an object activates the same function as applying a signal to the corresponding input.
Page 21
Block Discharge Standard Block Discharge The entire accumulation zone is forwarded as a single block and all accumulation positions are simultaneous- ly activated. Block discharge can be activated via the corresponding input. Eco Block Discharge This operating mode is similar to block Discharge, but in this case the entire accumulation zone isn’t always activated and advanced, but rather only up to the point to which packages have actually accumulated.
6.2.3 Functions Automatic roll cutoff This function is used to deactivate accumulation positions which are not currently in use, thus reducing energy consumption, decreasing noise levels and resulting in less wear and tear. If no object is present in front of the sensor for a specified period of time, or if there aren’t any objects in the zone, the solenoid valve / motor output or the solenoid valve shuts down the zone.
Page 23
NOTE! The function cannot be used when the “Automatic Block Discharge” or “Eco Block Discharge” mode is activated. Loading Delay This function is used to load the conveyor system with material by means of a hoist. Conveyance of the object is activated in a delayed fashion in this case, for example in order to be able to remove the forks of a forklift before activation.
Page 24
Accumulation Delay This function is used to delay accumulation logic so that gaps can be created between objects on the conveyor, or enlarged. × × The signal for follow-up forwarding of an object is transmitted with a specified amount of delay. Duration can be adjusted with the software.
7. Settings 7.1 Adjusting Switching Distance The sensor’s switching distance can be set precisely. The setting is entered by means of a virtual potenti- ometer with the software. 0% corresponds to turning the potentiometer counterclockwise as far as it will go (minimum switching distance), and 100% corresponds to turning the potentiometer clockwise as far as it will go (maximum switching distance).
A total of two sensors can be connected via the two freely programmable pins. NOTE! wenglor sensor types OPT1506 and OPT1507, for example, are suitable for use as auxiliary sensors. However, any other sensors can be used as well. In the case of the OPT1546, an externally connected sensor does not serve as an auxiliary sensor, but rather as the main sensor because the device itself has no sensor function.
9.1 General The devices can be set up and configured with the help of wTeach software. The software is available from the download area of our website at www.wenglor.com free of charge. A version of higher than 2.2.0 must be used.
