Frequently Asked Questions - O3M970 IFM

What type of light is emitted by the O3M970?

The O3M970 emits invisible infrared light, classified as risk group 1 according to IEC 62471. Do not look directly into the beam.

Which sensors are compatible with this lighting?

The lighting is designed for use with mobile or intelligent 3D sensors from the O3M150, O3M160, O3M250, O3M260 series and their variants (O3M151, O3M161, O3M251, O3M261, O3M271).

How to connect the lighting to the sensor?

Use an ifm original MCI cable (references E3M121/E3M122/E3M123) between the sensor and the lighting. The distance between them must not exceed 2.80 m.

What supply voltage is required?

The power supply must be 9 to 32 V DC, via a PELV circuit (Protective Extra Low Voltage). Use the 4 wires of the M12 connector and an ifm original cable (E3M131/E3M132/E3M133).

What are the risks associated with infrared light?

The lighting emits infrared light of risk group 1, which can damage the retina if directly exposed. Do not look into the beam and follow safety instructions.

How to mount the lighting?

Mount the lighting at a distance of 0 to 2.80 m from the sensor, keeping the illuminated area free of obstacles within 50 cm. Use the appropriate mounting accessories (U-bracket kit or round profile kit).

Is the lighting delivered with the sensor?

No, the lighting is supplied alone (without sensor, mounting accessories or cables). You must purchase the sensor and accessories separately.

What maintenance is required?

No specific maintenance is mentioned. Ensure that the M12 connectors are tightened properly to guarantee the protection rating. Clean the exterior with a soft cloth if necessary.

Where to find spare parts and accessories?

Mounting accessories and cables are available at www.ifm.com or from authorized dealers. Use only ifm original parts.

How to commission the lighting?

After turning off the power, connect the sensor and lighting via the MCI cable, connect the power supply, then power on. The first connection may take up to 60 seconds.

		1 GND2 9..32 V3 9..32 V4 GND

Before wiring note the following:

▶ Use all 4 wires of the M12 connector for the power supply.

▶ Unnecessarily long cables cause an additional voltage drop. For the power supply keep the cable short.

▶ Up to 14 A may flow via the cable for the power supply. Ensure a sufficiently dimensioned core cross-section.
▶ Use original ifm cables E3M131, E3M132 or E3M133.
