The sensor must be disposed of in line with applicable country-specific regulations.
When disposing of them, you should try to recycle them (especially the precious met‐
als).
NOTE
Disposal of batteries, electric and electronic devices
•
According to international directives, batteries, accumulators and electrical or
electronic devices must not be disposed of in general waste.
•
The owner is obliged by law to return this devices at the end of their life to the
respective public collection points.
•
WEEE:
This symbol on the product, its package or in this document,
indicates that a product is subject to these regulations.
This SICK sensor is maintenance-free.
We do, however, recommend that the following activities are undertaken regularly:
•
Clean the optical interfaces using a plastic cleaner, do not use acetone or methy‐
lated spirits.
•
Check the fittings and plug connectors
Cause
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Voltage interruptions
Sensor is faulty
IO-Link communication
IO-Link communication
Parameter settings made
manually, which deviate from
the standard
When adjusting the sensing
range, the light spot is only
half on the object or on a very
high-contrast object
The sensing range distance is
too large
Distance between the sensor
and the object is too long or
sensing range is set too short
Measures
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor
-
-
Initiate a factory reset. The
digital outputs are reset to
factory settings.
Sensing range setting accord‐
ing to
section 7.3
Reduce the sensing range
Increase the sensing range
