INTRODUCTION 1 - 1 1 INTRODUCTION About these operating instructions These Operating Instructions describe the installation, operation and maintenance of the SE-42 sensor and provide important instructions for proper use. These Operating Instructions are directed to both the system construction master as well as the operator who uses the SE-42 sensor in production.
1 - 2 INTRODUCTION Note: The housing and protectors of the SE-42 sensor are made of synthetic materials (see page ). Please note the chemical resistance of the synthetic materials in use. Air supply( optional) The SE-42 sensor is also available with air supply. Depending on the type of dirt contamination, this makes it possible to keep the field of view, transmitters and receivers free of large pieces of dirt with a continuous or pulsing flow of air.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 2 - 1 2 SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Important information To ensure safe and problem-free operation of the SE-42 sensor it must be – properly shipped and stored, – properly mounted and placed in operation, – properly used and carefully maintained. Proper operation and careful maintenance will ensure a long service life for the sensor.

INSTALLATION 3 - 4 Sensor with assembly suspension type MB Sensor mounts of type MB are available for assembling the SE-42 sensor on the M5 drill holes. CAUTION: Using long bolts introduces the risk of a short-circuit and destroying the electronics that are located inside the housing. Please note when assembling sensor SE-42 that only the original M5*7 bolts or similar ones should be used.
3 - 5 INSTALLATION Electrical connection CAUTION: The sensor could be damaged. Electrical connections should always be made or disconnected on the sensor while there is no electrical power in the system When attaching the connector with the jack on the sensor, pay close attention to the guide and groove! The connector and jack must not be connected with incorrect orientation or by force, as this will destroy the sensor.
OPERATION 4 - 1 4 OPERATION WARNING: Danger of injury by crushing Do not place your hands on or near moving parts (rollers, material web, etc.) during operation. WARNING: Danger of injury due to cutting on the edge of the material web Do not place your hands on the edge of the (moving) material web during operation.
4 - 2 OPERATION Settings All settings required for operating the SE-42 sensor are performed with the web guide controller. Information on this topic is available in the Operating Instructions for the web guide controller. Before the SE-42 is used for working with transparent material, the sensor must always be calibrated to the contrast with the web guide controller.
MAINTENANCE 5 - 1 5 MAINTENANCE WARNING: Danger of injury by crushing. Maintenance work must only be performed on the sensor when the power is turned off and the machine is stopped and protected against being turned on again. Maintenance The protectors should be cleaned of ambient dust and dirt at regular intervals using a neutral synthetic cleaning agent and a soft cloth.
