Check the operating conditi‐
ons: Fully align the beam of
light (light spot) with the re‐
flector. / Clean the optical sur‐
faces (sensor and reflector). /
Readjust the sensitivity / Re‐
flector is not suitable for the
application in question (we re‐
commend only using SICK re‐
flectors) / Check sensing ran‐
ge and adjust if necessary;
see graphic H. / Distance bet‐
ween the sensor and the re‐
flector is too long /
