7.3 Preparation

General requirements
• Ensure that the system is in a defined state before switching it on (danger of
accidents).
If the system is not in a defined state, switching on the pneumatics can lead to
uncontrolled movements of the actuators.
• Only commission the product after it has been completely assembled as well
as correctly connected, and after it has been properly tested.

7.4 Step-by-step commissioning

If you have carried out and completed all preparation work, you can commission
the system.
Optional: Adjusting the measurement range (see section g 7.4.1. Adjusting the
measurement range).

7.4.1 Adjusting the measurement range

• The maximum permissible measurement range is set as standard.
The measurement range is only adjusted via the teaching-in
process.
• If the magnetic piston is outside of the measurement range during
the adjustment process, this is indicated by an increased flashing
frequency and the teach-in process is aborted.
• A teach-in process that is not completed successfully is aborted af-
ter 90 s (timeout). The most recently set measurement range is
maintained.
Adjusting the measurement range as described below is optional.
3 s

1 s

Procedure
1. Move the magnetic piston to the position for the zero point.
2. Check if LED lights up (magnetic piston is in the measurement range).
3. Press and hold the teach-in button until the LED flashes (t = 3 s).
4. To save the zero point: release the button.
(Flashing LED indicates that the end point still has to be set.)
5. Move the magnetic piston to the position for the end point.
6. Briefly press and hold the teach-in button (t = 1 s).
7. To save the end point: release the button.
ð If the LED lights up, measurement range adjustment is completed.

8 Operation

8.1 Basic requirements

The following points must be observed during operation.
General requirements
• Do not touch the product or any connected parts during operation (accident
prevention).
• Never switch off, modify or bypass safety devices.
Limits
• Comply with the limits (accident prevention, material protection). Limits: see
section g 13. Technical data.
• Make sure that there are no ferromagnetic sources near the product (material
protection).

Service

• Carry out service work in the designated time intervals: see section g 9. Ser-
vice.
In case of malfunctions during operation
• In case of a malfunction that presents an immediate danger for employees or
systems: Switch off product.
• Carry out analysis and troubleshooting of malfunctions according to the fol-
lowing specifications: see section g 12. Troubleshooting.
• If a malfunction cannot be remedied: Inform the customer service. Contact
data: see back cover.

• After approaching the zero point, a value of U = approx. 0 V or I = ap-
prox. 4 mA is present at the corresponding output pin.
• After approaching the end point, a value of U = approx. 10 V or I = ap-
prox. 20 mA is present at the corresponding output pin.
In both positions, the LED must light up yellow. If the LED does not light up yel-
low, the measurement range must be re-adjusted. In this case, the sensor must
be reset to factory settings. See section g 8.3. Resetting measurement range to
factory settings.

8.3 Resetting measurement range to factory settings

Press and hold the teach-in button (t = 5 s) until the permanent LED signal is
u
displayed.
ð The sensor has been reset to the factory settings.
9 Service
