The default factory setting for the password is as follows: User level Password Authorised client client The NAV310 laser positioning sensor is intended for use in industrial environments.
Planning and using a laser positioning sensor such as the NAV310 also require specific technical skills which are not detailed in this documentation. Further information on the NAV310 is available from SICK AG, Division Auto Ident, and in the Internet at www.sick.com.
The NAV310 must only be installed, commissioned and serviced by adequately qualified personnel. Repairs to the NAV310 are only allowed to be undertaken by trained and authorised service personnel from SICK AG. The following qualifications are necessary for the various tasks:...
The NAV310 is a sensor for use indoors. Important In case of any other usage as well as in case of modifications to the NAV310, e.g. due to opening the housing during mounting and electrical installation, or to the SICK software, any claims against SICK AG under the warranty will be rendered void.
The operating instructions must be made available to the operator of the system where the NAV310 is used. The operator of the system is to be instructed in the use of the de- vice by specialist personnel and must be instructed to read the operating instructions.
Pay attention to the laser safety regulations as per EN 60825-1 (latest version). Important No maintenance is necessary to ensure compliance with laser class 1.

Operating instructions NAV310 Laser positioning sensor Environmental protection The NAV310 has been designed to minimise environmental impact. It uses only a minimum of power. While working, always act in an environmentally responsible manner. For this reason please note the following information on disposal.
Chapter 3 NAV310 Product description This chapter provides information on the special features and properties of the NAV310. It describes the construction and the operating principle of the device, in particular the differ- ent operating modes. Please read this chapter before mounting, installing and commissioning the device.
The LEDs signal the operational status of the NAV310. The NAV310 has four LEDs. These visually signal the actual operational status and the sta-- tus of the continuous self-check. The LEDs are on the front of the device on the NAV310. tab. 4 shows the function of the LEDs.
Operating principle of the NAV310 The NAV310 has an opto-electronic laser measurement system that electro-sensitively scans the contour of its surroundings in a plane with the aid of laser beams. The NAV310 measures its surroundings in two-dimensional polar coordinates. If a measurement beam is incident on an object, the position is determined in the form of distance, direction and remission.
The incident radiation is not reflected diffusely in all directions by reflectors, but direction-- ally. As a result a large portion of the energy emitted can be received by the NAV310. The NAV310 makes use of this situation to be able to exactly measure the positions of reflec-- tors.
3.5.2 Scanning range of the NAV310 The scanning range of the NAV310 is dependent on the remission of the objects to be de-- tected. The better a surface reflects the incident radiation, the greater the scanning range of the NAV310.
3.7.1 Data interfaces The NAV310 has a serial host interface and an Ethernet interface. The NAV310 is config- ured with the aid of SOPAS ET via these interfaces. The NAV310 also communicates with the AGV’s vehicle computer via its interfaces.
NAV310. NAV310 The internal time stamp in the NAV310 is a 32-bit counter that counts up by 1 every 1 ms. To synchronise the internal time in the NAV310 with the system time in the vehicle’s control system, the NAV310 provides three options.
Important On the NAV310, near field suppression is deactivated by default when delivered. If you in- stall a NAV310 in a housing (e.g. for explosion protection), then you must configure the near field filter in SOPAS ET. A feature of the NAV310 allows near field suppression for individually configured sectors to be enabled/disabled via a telegram, e.g.
3.9.3 Distance between NAV310 and the object/surface to be measured The measurement area on the NAV310 starts at 0.5 m (1.64 ft) in front of the optics (light output window). To prevent false measurements, in the case of the recessed installation of the NAV310 the increase in the size of the laser beam with increasing distance is to be taken into account.
The maximum scanning range of the NAV310 is 250 m (820.2 ft) onto reflectors. It is possible to deter- mine the minimum reflector heights based on the characteristics of the floor and the meas- urement distance.

The interactive configuration is carried out using SOPAS ET. Using this configuration soft- ware, you can configure and test the measurement properties, the analysis behaviour and the output properties of the NAV310 as required. The configuration data can be saved as a parameter set (project file) on the PC and archived.
Once the configuration has been completed, the parameter set must be saved in non-vola- tile memory in the NAV310. In addition, the parameter set should be saved as a project file (spr file with configuration data) on the PC and archived.

(dust, powder, moisture). Damage to the optics in the NAV310! The window in the scanner head on the NAV310 is made of glass. The optical power is re- duced by scratches and smearing on the front screen. Do not use aggressive detergents.
NAV310 How to clean the window in the scanner head on the NAV310: 1. Switch off the NAV310 while performing cleaning, as otherwise the scanner head will rotate. 2. Use a clean and soft brush to remove dust from the window.
Important Claims under the warranty rendered void! The housing screws of the NAV310 are sealed. Claims under the warranty against SICK AG will be rendered void if the seals are damaged or the device opened. The housing is only allowed to be opened by authorised service personnel.
