3 Transport, handling and storage
▶ Store the device in its original packaging.
▶ When the device is to be stored again, use the original packaging.
▶ Otherwise, provide unused connections with either a mating connector or a protective cap and pack the device in suitable packaging.
▶ Observe the permissible ambient conditions for the device during storage (→ Technical data).
4 Intended use
The diffuse reflection sensor detects objects and materials without contact and indicates their presence by a switching signal.
5 Installation



▶ Align the diffuse reflection sensor to the object to be detected.
▶ Secure it to a bracket.

The objects to be detected should move transversely to the lens of the sensor.
▶ In case of other directions of movement it should be tested before whether safe switching is guaranteed

6 Operating and display elements

1: LED yellow - switching output active
2: Setting potentiometer "sensitivity"
3: LED green - operation, stability indication
4: Selector "output function"
6.1 Stability indication
▷ The green LED is lit when the supply voltage is applied and there is sufficient excess gain. Under these conditions the sensor receives a stable signal.
| Stable signal | Switch point | Stable signal | ||
![]() | ||||
| Light-on mode | ||||
| LED green | On | Off | Off | On |
| LED yellow | On | On | Off | Off |
| Dark-on mode | ||||
| LED green | On | Off | Off | On |
| LED yellow | Off | Off | On | On |
7 Electrical connection

The unit must be connected by a qualified electrician.
Observe the national and international regulations for the installation of electrical equipment.
Voltage supply according to SELV, PELV.
▶ Disconnect power.
▶ Connect the unit as follows:
7.1 PNP

![]() | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
* Core colours: BN = brown, BU = blue, BK = black
8 Settings
8.1 Setting the output function


▶ Setting D: Dark-on mode
▶ Setting L: Light-on mode
8.2 Setting the range


▶ Increase the range: Turn the setting potentiometer clockwise.
▶ Reduce the range: Turn the setting potentiometer anticlockwise.

Objects that are beyond the set switch point are suppressed.
9 Operation
▶ Check whether the unit operates correctly.
The green LED is lit when the supply voltage is applied and there is sufficient excess gain.
▷ Setting the dark-on mode: The output is switched / the yellow LED is on when an object is detected.
▷ Setting the light-on mode: The output is switched / the yellow LED is on when no object is detected.
10 Maintenance, repair and disposal
▶ Keep the lenses of the sensor free from soiling.
▶ For cleaning do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which could damage the plastic parts.
▶ After use dispose of the unit in an environmentally friendly way in accordance with the applicable national regulations.
Faulty sensors must only be repaired by the manufacturer.
