Retro-reflective sensors
Installation and environment
Coatings on the optics and on the reflector impair the function. The installation should therefore be carried out in such
a way that as little dust as possible is deposited and no liquid can get onto them during operation. It must also be
ensured that they are accessible for cleaning.
From time to time, the optics and reflector should be cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with alcohol or soapy water.
Cable
The PVC connection cable of the pre-wired cable devices is not suitable for environments containing oil or solvents and
in applications where the cable is frequently moved.
In such cases, the use of a plug device with an ipf-Sensorflex cable socket is recommended.
Installation and alignment
1. Mount the reflector in the desired position.
2. Cover the reflector, e.g. with adhesive tape, so that only the center (about 25% of the surface) remains free.
3. Then align the device on the reflector and fasten it. Make sure that the reflector is at right angles to the line
connecting it to the device. For optical reasons, maintain a minimum distance of approx. 20cm from the reflector!
4. If the light beam is interrupted, the device must now switch safely.
5. Remove the adhesive tape from the reflector.
Setting
When the light beam is interrupted, the switching output switches (dark switching) and the yellow switching state LED
lights up.
Safe operation is ensured when the green function LED lights up when the light path is free and goes out when the
switching output is switched on at (yellow LED lights up).
If the green LED does not light up when the light path is clear, either the distance to the reflector is too great or the
optics or reflector are dirty.
Note
The retro-reflective sensors of design 12 operate with a red light emitting diode. The devices are equipped with a
polarizing filter, therefore reflectors suitable for polarized light must also be used.
The specified nominal ranges refer to a round reflector with 82mm diameter (AO000006 or AO000007). If smaller
reflectors are used, only a smaller maximum range is possible.
