USER MANUAL OL5025 IFM

Functions and features

The diffuse reflection sensor detects objects and materials without contact and indicates their presence by a switched signal.

Range (r): see type label (value referred to white paper 200mm× 200mm

If very small objects are to be detected they must be located in the focus (= max. range).

Laser radiation; laser protection class 2.

Do not look directly into the beam!

The enclosed labels (warning laser) must be applied in close proximity to the unit.

Electrical connection

Isolate power, then connect unit (see page 13 or type label).

Load of the function check output (fc output): max. 10mA.

Installation

Align the photocell and fasten it to a mounting bracket.

Maximum range is only possible with precise alignment.

Adjustment aid:

In the programming mode (see "Setting the switching threshold") an adjustment aid is integrated. After step 1 the intensity of the transmitted light is increased so that the transmitted light spot is clearly visible. After step 3 the transmitted light is set to normal intensity.

Mount the unit so that the mounting position cannot change (in particular avoid high vibrations!).

The units with a light spot diameter of < 1mm are highly focussed; a change in the mounting position will result in misalignment.

Setting the switching threshold (dynamic operation)

• Moving objects in the detection area

The unit detects input signals of various intensity in any sequence and calculates the optimum switching threshold.

1

Press until the red LED flashes

Yellow and green LED's flash alternately (= unit is in the programming mode).

2

Allow the objects to pass through the detection area. Press once.

The yellow and green LED's go out for approx. 1 s, then flash again alternately.

3

Press once.

The yellow and green LED's go out for approx. 1s, then the green LED is on (= unit is in operating mode).

If the setting of the switching threshold is not possible (e.g. object signal and background signal are about the same), the red LED flashes after step 3. The unit then passes into the operating mode with the switching signal being unchanged.

If the programming button is not activated for 15 minutes during the programming process, the unit passes automatically into the operating mode with the switching threshold being unchanged.

Setting of the maximum sensitivity:

• Go into the programming mode (step 1).
• Align the unit so that no light is reflected.
• Press the setting button twice (see steps 2 and 3).

Setting the switching threshold (stationary operation)

• Stationary objects

The unit detects input signals of various intensity in any sequence and calculates the optimum switching threshold.

1

Press until the red LED flashes.

Yellow and green LED's flash alternately (= unit is in the programming mode).

2

Place the object into the detection area * Press once.

The yellow and green LED's go out for approx. 1 s, then flash again alternately.

3

Remove the object * Press once.

The yellow and green LED's go out for approx. 1s, then the green LED is on (= unit is in operating mode).

*You can also proceed in reverse order: first setting without the object, then with the object.

If the setting of the switching threshold is not possible (e.g. object signal and background signal are about the same), the red LED flashes after step 3. The unit then passes into the operating mode with the switching signal being unchanged.

If the programming button is not activated for 15 minutes during the programming process, the unit passes automatically into the operating mode with the switching threshold being unchanged.

Setting of the maximum sensitivity:

• Go into the programming mode (step 1).
• Align the unit so that no light is reflected.
• Press the setting button twice (see steps 2 and 3).

Programming the output function

1

Press for 10s.

→

The red LED starts to flash fast after 2 s. Then the yellow and green LED's flash alternately. After 8 s all LED's go off, the output function has changed from light-on mode to dark-on mode (or vice versa).

Operation

Check the safe functioning of the diffuse reflection sensor. Display by LED's and by the function check output.

LED green unit is ready for operation
LED yellow output is switched
LED red	error in object detection, e.g. maladjustment, soiling of the lenses
LED's yellow + red	flashing alternately, 2Hz: output short-circuited flashing alternately, 1Hz: internal malfunction (output is not switched)

Function check output set in the event of:

• Short-circuit of the switching output; reset approx. 2s after elimination of the error.
• Wrong object detection (maladjustment, soiling of the lenses); reset when object is again clearly detected.
  Internal error.

Maintenance

Keep the plastic lenses of the sensor free from soiling.

For cleaning do not use any solvents or cleaning agents which could damage the plastic lenses.
