6. Attach the sensor using the mounting bracket and hardware supplied. See Figures 5 and 6.
7. Lock the sensor in the mounting bracket by manually tightening the set screws in the brackets.
8. Connect either the M12 or RJ-45 connector of the power cable to the Modular Sensor (depending on the
connection style chosen) and route the power cable to the power supply safely.
9. To connect multiple RJ-45-style sensors, connect a separate RJ-45 power cable from the rear (non-LED side)
RJ-45 connector of the lead sensor to the front (LED side) of the next sensor. Repeat this process as needed for
additional sensors.
NOTE! – A maximum of FOUR RJ-45-style sensors per control station Device Address can be connected
this way.
Electrical Connections
NOTE! – Turn line voltage power off at IQ Power Control Station before connecting/disconnecting any
devices. This is to avoid potential equipment failure and ensure proper digital communication.
M12-Style Connector
1. Remove the protective cap from the sensor inlet connector.
2. Place the appropriate M12 connector on the cable against the sensor connector and rotate the connector until
the keyed connectors align. Press the connectors together and turn the knurled coupling nut clockwise to thread
it on. Finger-tighten the coupling nut until the connector is fully seated.
3. Remove the protective cap from one of the Control Station's outlet connectors.
4. Place the other M12 connector on the cable against the Control Station connector and rotate the connector until
the keyed connectors align. Press the connectors together and turn the knurled coupling nut clockwise to thread
it on. Finger-tighten the coupling nut until the connector is fully seated.
5. Route the cable away from any moving machine parts and secure the cable to prevent damage.
6. See Section 8, Parts and Accessories for available cables.
