Operation

5.1

Initial Operation

► Connect the light source and receiver with the connection cable.
► Connect the sensor to a 24 V DC power supply.
► Turn on the power supply.
After the sensor is switched on, initialization is performed. The sensor is ready for operation after approx. 10 s.
You can configure the software using the web pages or the ASCII commands integrated in the sensor. Parallel operation
with web browser and ASCII commands is possible; the last setting applies.
Micro-Epsilon Eltrotec GmbH recommends setting the sensor via the integrated website.
To ensure precise measurements, let the sensor warm up for approx. 30 minutes.

Control via Ethernet

5.2.1

Requirements

Dynamic web pages containing the current settings for the sensor and peripherals are generated in the sensor. Control is
only possible when there is a live Ethernet connection to the sensor. A web browser is required (for example Mozilla Fire­
fox or Internet Explorer) on a PC with a network connection. To facilitate initial operation of the sensor, it is configured
ready for direct connection.
If your browser is set to access the Internet via a proxy server, please add the sensor IP address to the IP addresses in
the browser settings that are not to be routed through the proxy server. The MAC address of the measuring device is
given on the sensor rating plate and in the calibration log.
To allow graphical display of the measurement results, JavaScript must be enabled in the browser.
