Frequently Asked Questions - OB5013 IFM

How to automatically adjust the switching threshold with moving objects?
Place the objects in the beam, then press T1 until the LED ramp flashes. Press once, then a second time to confirm. The green LED lights up in operating mode.
How to automatically adjust the threshold with a stationary object?
Press T1 until flashing. Place the object in the beam and press once. Remove the object and press again. The green LED lights up.
How to manually adjust the switching threshold?
Press T1+T2 until flashing (green LED flashes). Use the '+' or '-' buttons to adjust the threshold between the object and background signal. Then press T1+T2 again to confirm.
How to adjust the pulse extension?
Press T2 until alternating flashing of yellow and green LEDs. Use '+' or '-' to set the delay (each press ~1 ms, continuous press to accelerate). Wait 10 s to confirm.
What does the red LED on mean?
The red LED indicates a detection error: incorrect adjustment or dirty fibers. Check alignment and clean fibers if necessary.
How to electrically connect the amplifier?
Turn off power. Connect the wires according to color codes: BN = brown (L+), BU = blue (L-), BK = black (output), VT = violet (diagnostic output). Refer to the diagram in the manual.
What type of fiber optics to use?
The amplifier is compatible with ifm fiber optics types FE-11 (through-beam) and FT-11 (direct reflection). Observe the mounting direction.
How to mount the device on a DIN rail?
Clip the device onto a standard DIN rail (35 mm). To remove it, pull the lower tab.
What to do if the LED ramp flashes rapidly?
Rapid flashing indicates a short circuit on the switching output. Check the wiring and eliminate the fault. The diagnostic output turns off after ~4 s.
How to clean the fiber optics?
Clean the fiber ends with a lint-free cloth and isopropyl alcohol. Ensure they are fully inserted into the amplifier.
