1. Introduction
This manual is a reference guide for Carlo Gavazzi IO-Link photoelectric sensors LD30xxBI10. It describes how
to install, setup and use the product for its intended use.
1.1. Description
Carlo Gavazzi photoelectric sensors are devices designed and manufactured in accordance with IEC international
standards and are subject to the Low Voltage (2014/35/EU) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (2014/30/
EU) EC directives.
All rights to this document are reserved by Carlo Gavazzi Industri, copies may be made for internal use only.
Please do not hesitate to make any suggestions for improving this document.
1.2. Validity of documentation
This manual is valid only for LD30xxBI10 photoelectric sensors with IO-Link and until new documentation is
published.
This instruction manual describes the function, operation and installation of the product for its intended use.
1.3. Who should use this documentation
This manual contains important information regarding installation and must be read and completely understood
by specialized personnel dealing with these photoelectric sensors.
We highly recommend that you read the manual carefully before installing the sensor. Save the manual for future
use. The Installation manual is intended for qualified technical personnel.
1.4. Use of the product
These photoelectric Time Of Flight "TOF" sensors are designed as a long range background suppression sensors
but can also indicate the actual distance via the Process data in IO-Link mode. The sensor emits laser light and
measure the time it takes for the light to return to the sensor and convert it to a distance.
The LD30xxBI10...IO sensors can be with or without IO-Link communication. By using an IO-Link master it is
possible to operate and configure these devices.
1.5. Safety precautions
This sensor must not be used in applications where personal safety depends on the function of the sensor (The
sensor is not designed according to the EU Machinery Directive).
Installation and use must be carried out by trained technical personnel with basic electrical installation knowledge.
The installer is responsible for correct installation according to local safety regulations and must ensure that
a defective sensor will not result in any hazard to people or equipment. If the sensor is defective, it must be
replaced and secured against unauthorised use.
