3 Functions and features
The unit continuously detects the level optically and generates output signals according to the parameter settings.
3.1 Application areas
- The optical level sensor detects media in the measuring range of 20.0...1000.0 cm. They are displayed in relation to a previously defined reference level.
- It has a background suppression at >10... 100 m.
- Two output signals can be generated, depending on the function mode.

The distance between the sensor and the background must be limited to max. 100 m by the customer. Otherwise the measured value may be ambiguous. → 5.1 Installation conditions
3.2 Restriction of the application area
- The unit is suited for granulates, bulk material and cloudy liquids.
- Dust and vapour can impact the quality of the measurements.
- The unit is not suited for oils and clear liquids.
4 Function
4.1 Switching function
4.1.1 Hysteresis function
The outputs change their switching status when the value is above or below the set switching limits. The hysteresis is the distance between the set and reset points. The hysteresis keeps the switching status of the output stable if the measured value varies about the sensing range.
Both outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) can be set as hysteresis function ( → 10.3.3 and → 10.3.6).
Example Hno
- For the output function [Hno] the output switches on when the set point [SPx] is exceeded in case of a rising level.
- If the level falls again, the output switches off as soon as the level is below the reset point [rPx]. The reset point [rPx] is below the set point [SPx].


[SPx] = set point; [rSPx] = reset point; HY = hysteresis
If the output function [Hnc] has been selected, set and reset point are exchanged. The output switches off for rising level. If the level falls below [rPx] again, the output switches on.
Switching status of the outputs
| Output function | Level (L) | Output status |
| [Hno] | L > [SPx] | Closed |
| L < [rPx] | Open | |
| [Hnc] | L > [SPx] | Open |
| L < [rPx] | Closed |
4.1.2 Window function
The window function enables the monitoring of a defined acceptable range. Both outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) can be set as window function ( → 10.3.3 and → 10.3.6).
Switches when the medium is detected
If the measured value is between the lower limit value [FLx] and the upper limit value [FHx], the output is closed (if [OUx] = [Fno]).
FE = window ; HY = hysteresis*; [FHx] = upper limit value ; [FLx] = lower limit value

Switches off when the medium is detected
If the measured value is between the lower limit value [FLx] and the upper limit value [FHx], the output is open (if [OUx] = [Fnc]).
FE = window ; HY = hysteresis*; [FHx] = upper limit value ; [FLx] = lower limit value

* A switching hysteresis is set for each window limit value. It cannot be configured but depends on distance and sampling rate.
Switching status of the outputs
| Output function | Level (L) | Output status |
| [Fno] | L < [FHx] | Closed |
| L > [FLx] | ||
| [FHx] < L < [FLx] | Open | |
| [Fnc] | L < [FHx] | Open |
| L > [FLx] | ||
| [FHx] < L < [FLx] | Closed |
Both window limit values ([SPx] and [rPx]) work with a switching hysteresis.
→ 4.1.1 Hysteresis function / example for output function [Hno]
4.2 Analogue function
An analogue signal, which is proportional to the distance, can be provided at output 2 (OUT2) → 10.3.9 Scaling of the measuring range (analogue output).
4.2.1 Current output

MEW= final value of the measuring range
In the set measuring range the output signal is between 4 and 20 mA.
Faults are also displayed → 12 Troubleshooting.
4.2.2 Voltage output

MEW= final value of the measuring range
In the set measuring range the output signal is between 0 and 10 V.
4.3 Switch off the laser
For safety and maintenance purposes the laser of the unit can be temporarily switched off via the input on pin 5.
| Input signal at pin 5 | Laser |
| Low / not connected | On |
| High | Off |
4.4 IO-Link
This unit has an IO-Link communication interface which enables direct access to process and diagnostic data. In addition it is possible to set the parameters of the unit during operation. Operation of the unit via IO-Link interface requires an IO-Link master.
With a PC, suitable IO-Link software and an IO-Link adapter cable communication is possible when the system is not in operation.
The IODDs necessary for the configuration of the unit, detailed information about process data structure, diagnostic information, parameter addresses and the necessary information about the required IO-Link hardware and software can be found at www.ifm.com.
4.4.1 Operation with IO-Link master
The unit is compatible with IO-Link master port class A (type A).

For operation with IO-Link master port class B (type B) observe the following:
As a standard, the unit is not compatible with master port class B (type B). Pin 2 (OU2) and pin 5 (IN1) are used for manufacturer-specific functions. That means that the main supply voltage of the unit and the additional voltage supply (master port class B on pins 2/5) are not electrically isolated.
With the following configurations the unit can be used with master port class B:
- Connect unit and IO-Link master via 3 wires: Connect pins 1, 3 and 4 of the unit with the IO-Link master (do not connect pins 2 and 5).
- Connect unit and IO-Link master via 4 wires: Deactivate pin 2 (OU2) via IO-Link (setting OU2 = "off") and connect pins 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the unit with the IO-Link master (do not connect pin 5).
4.4.2 Extended functions
By means of IO-Link extended measured data are available.
The object reflectivity is provided via the display and as process data value (PDV) via IO-Link.
The object reflectivity can, for example, be used to detect sensor soiling.
5 Installation
5.1 Installation conditions
▶ Install the unit so that the medium to be detected is within a measuring range of 20.0...1000.0 cm.
The unambiguity range of the sensor is fixed to 100 m. Levels within a range > 10...100 m are suppressed.

Reflecting surfaces in the direct beam path of the sensor – also in the range > 100 m – are to be avoided by the customer. Otherwise the measured value may be ambiguous.
5.2 Location
▶ Mount the sensor in a way that a distance (D) of min. 20.0 cm remains between the highest possible level and the front lens of the sensor.
▶ The maximum measuring distance (H) between the front lens of the sensor and the tank bottom or the programmed level is 10 m. A reference height at a longer distance cannot be set.

D = min. measuring distance / dead zone
H = max. measuring distance

During parameter setting the unit remains in the operating mode internally. It continues its monitoring function with the existing parameters until the change has been completed.

On delivery the reference level has to be set first, otherwise the unit is not operational. → 10.2 Entering the reference level (unit on delivery)

11 Operation
11.1 Operating modes
11.1.1 Run mode
The run mode is the normal operating mode.
After power on the unit is in the Run mode. It carries out its monitoring function and generates output signals according to the set parameters.
The display indicates the current level (relative to the reference level), the yellow LEDs signal the switching status of the outputs.
11.1.2 Display mode
Indication of the parameters and the set parameter values
▶ Press [MODE/ENTER] briefly.
▷ Unit goes to the Display mode. Internally it remains in the operating mode. The set parameter values can be read:
▶ To scroll through the parameters, press [MODE/ENTER] briefly.
▶ To display the respective parameter value, press [SET] briefly.
▷ After another 15 s the unit returns to the Run mode.
11.1.3 Object reflectivity
Indication of object reflectivity:
▶ Press [SET] in the Run mode.
▷ The unit displays an orientation value for the object reflectivity (for instance +100 corresponds to a white object, +020 corresponds to a grey object).
11.1.4 Programming mode
Setting the parameter values → 10.1 General parameter setting.
