Contrast Sensor With
Individual Switching Threshold
Correct use
The RS10 contrast sensor is an optoelectronic sensor for the
optical, non-contact detection of contrast marks.
Safety Information
• Read the operating instructions before commissioning.
• Connection, mounting, and programming may only be
performed by trained specialists.
• When commissioning, protect the device from moisture
and contamination.
• Not a safety component in accordance with the EU
Machinery Directive.

Step 1: Electrical installation
Device plug can be pivoted 180°.
Plug in the cable socket with the power off and fasten in place.
Mount the sensor on the mounting rod.

Compensate for the vertical and horizontal movement of the
test object using marks of suitable lengths. Ensure that any
sensor movement does not affect the sensing range. For
reflective or glossy object surfaces, tilt the sensor at 0 ... 5°
to the material surface.
Connect the cables.
Note:
– Only operate with shielded cable.
– Only operate when grounded.
– The sensor may not be connected to a 24 V DC network.

Green LED (output state indicator): lights up when mark is
detected. White send LED: lights up when supply voltage is
present.
Step 2: Setting the switching thresholds
Encoder input/trigger:
The sensor needs a trig pulse just before the first print mark.
The time between the end of trig pulse and beginning of the
first mark must be > 20 ms.
Display the light spot on the template before the first mark.
Teach-in using teach-in button:
Press and hold the Teach-in button for longer than 0.5 s.
Proceed through a mark sequence in the sensing range.
Release the teach-in button. Send a trig pulse (< 18 ms) for
Run mode.
During the teach-in procedure, the output switches and the green
LED lights up each time a mark is detected. The yellow LED lights
up during the teach-in procedure. See illustration no. 5.
Teach-in using cable:
Start the teach-in procedure using a high pulse (> 36 ms) at the
trigger input. Do not allow any marks to enter the light spot
20 ms after the teach-in process has begun. Maximum teach-
in speed: 300 mm/s. Proceed through a mark sequence
in the sensing range. Send a trigger pulse (< 18 ms). The
process of saving the teach-in values then takes 80 ms. This
completes the teach-in procedure and switches the sensor
to stand-by mode. During the teach-in procedure, the output
switches and the green LED lights up each time a mark is

Step 3: Maintenance
SICK contrast sensors are maintenance-free. We recommend
doing the following regularly:
– Cleaning the external lens surfaces
– Checking the screw connections and plug-in connections
– Teaching in the reference colors again
