S6 SERIES
INSTRUCTION MANUAL
CONTROLS
OUTPUT LED
The red LED indicates the output status.
STABILITY LED (S6/S6T/S6R-5-M25)
The green LED ON indicates that the received signal has a reserve
greater than 30% compared to the output switching value.
SENSITIVITY TRIMMER (S6/S6T/S6R-x-A/B/C/F/T)
ADJUSTMENT SCREW (S6/S6T/S6R-5-M25)
This control can be used to adjust sensitivity (trimmer) or cutoff distance
(screw); the operating distance increases turning the control clockwise.
DARK/LIGHT TRIMMER (S6-1-A/B/C/F/T)
The
DARK/LIGHT
mode
can
be
set
rotating
counterclockwise or clockwise.
WARNING: The trimmers rotation is limited to 270° by a mechanical
stop. Do not apply excessive torque when adjusting (max 40 Nmm).
POWER ON LED (S6/S6T-x-G)
The red LED indicates that the sensor is operating.

The following procedures are valid for LIGHT mode operation.
Alignment S6/S6T/S6R-x-A/B/T
Position the sensor and reflector on opposite sides.
Turn the sensitivity trimmer to maximum. Find the points where the red
STABILITY LED
LED (OUT) is switched ON and OFF in both vertical and horizontal
positions, and fix the sensor in the centre between these points.
OUTPUT LED
If necessary, reduce sensitivity using the trimmer, in order to detect very
small or transparent targets. In order to improve alignment, repeat the
procedure detailed above whilst progressively reducing the sensitivity.
Alignment S6/S6T/S6R-x-F/G
Position the sensors on opposite sides.
Turn the sensitivity trimmer to maximum. Find the points where the red
LED (OUT) is switched ON and OFF in both vertical and horizontal
positions, and fix the sensor in the centre between these points.
If necessary, reduce sensitivity using the trimmer, in order to detect very
small targets. In order to improve alignment, repeat the procedure
detailed above whilst progressively reducing the sensitivity.
Alignment S6/S6T/S6R-x-C
Position the sensor and turn the sensitivity trimmer at minimum:
the red LED is OFF.
Place the target opposite the sensor. Turn the
sensitivity trimmer clockwise until red LED turns ON.
(Target detected state, pos.A).
Remove the target, the red LED turns OFF. Turn the trimmer clockwise
until the red LED turns ON (Background detected state, pos.B).
The trimmer reaches maximum if the background is not detected.
Turn the trimmer to the intermediate position C, between the two
positions A and B.
Alignment S6/S6T/S6R-5-M25
Position the sensor and turn the adjustment screw to maximum.
Place the target opposite the sensor at a slightly greater distance than
desired. Turn the screw counterclockwise until the sensor switches.
Verify the adjustment moving the target closer and further the sensor;
tune the adjustment if necessary.
M12
It is recommended to operate with the stability LED turned ON.
TEST FUNCTION (S6/S6T-5-G)
Ø15
The TEST+ and TEST- inputs can be used to inhibit the emitter and
verify that the system is correctly operating.
The receiver output should switch when the test is activated while the
beam is uninterrupted. The inputs activating voltage range is 10 ... 30
S6-1-xx
Vdc, whilst respecting the polarity.
ALARM FUNCTION (S6/S6T-5-F)
-
The alarm output switches ON whenever the received signal remains
40 mA max.
without a safety margin (greater than 30% compared to the output
switching level) for longer than 3 seconds.
The sensors are NOT safety devices, and so MUST NOT be used in the
3 A max. (resistive load)
