may be equipped with a Health or Alarm output, which provide a discrete signal when the
sensor is operating in the marginal condition. Refer to table 2 for additional detail on
Health/Alarm output operation.
8 Troubleshooting
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.
Table 4: Troubleshooting
LED indicator/fault pattern Cause Measures
Yellow LED does not light up
even though the sender is
aligned to the object and the
object is within the set sensing
range
No voltage or voltage below
the limit values
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Voltage interruptions Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
Sensor is faulty If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor
Yellow LED flashes; if Alarm /
Health is present then take
note of the corresponding out‐
put signal
Sensor is still ready for opera‐
tion, but the operating condi‐
tions are not ideal
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam of
light (light spot) with the
object / Clean the optical sur‐
faces
Yellow LED lights up, no object
in the path of the beam
Excessive background remis‐
sion
Check the background for
highly reflective objects and
try to block from the sensors
field of view
Object is in the path of the
beam, yellow LED does not
light up
Object remission is too low Reduce distance between
sensor and object. Note that
the object may not have
enough remission for detec‐
tion.
9 Disassembly and disposal
The sensor must be disposed of according to the applicable country-specific regula‐
tions. Efforts should be made during the disposal process to recycle the constituent
materials (particularly precious metals).
NOTE
Disposal of batteries, electric and electronic devices
•
According to international directives, batteries, accumulators and electrical or
electronic devices must not be disposed of in general waste.
•
The owner is obliged by law to return this devices at the end of their life to the
respective public collection points.
•
This symbol on the product, its package or in this document, indicates
