The Datalogic S3Z Laser Series is a family of photoelectric sensors designed for various industrial automation applications. These sensors are compact and feature different configurations to suit diverse sensing needs, including through-beam, retro-reflective, and diffuse proximity models. The devices are designed to be user-friendly, with clear indicators and straightforward adjustment mechanisms for optimal performance.

Function Description

The core function of the S3Z Laser Series sensors is to detect the presence or absence of objects using a visible laser beam. The sensors operate by emitting a laser beam and analyzing the reflected or interrupted light.

Through-beam models (S3Z...F01/G00) consist of a separate emitter and receiver. The emitter sends a laser beam to the receiver, and an object is detected when it interrupts this beam. This configuration offers long operating distances and high detection reliability, making it suitable for applications requiring precise object detection over large areas.
Retro-reflective models (S3Z...B01/C01/C11/T51) combine the emitter and receiver in a single housing and require a reflector placed opposite the sensor. The sensor emits a laser beam that is reflected back by the reflector. An object is detected when it breaks the beam between the sensor and the reflector. These models are ideal for applications where wiring to both sides of the detection area is impractical. Some retro-reflective models, like the S3Z...C01/C11, offer background suppression capabilities, allowing them to ignore objects beyond a set distance.
Diffuse proximity models (S3Z...M01) also house the emitter and receiver in a single unit but do not require a separate reflector. Instead, they detect objects by sensing the light reflected directly from the object's surface. These models are particularly useful for detecting objects at close range or in applications where a reflector cannot be used. The S3Z...M01 features background suppression, ensuring that only objects within a specified range are detected, ignoring the background.

All S3Z sensors provide a digital output signal (PNP or NPN) indicating the presence or absence of an object. They are designed for reliable operation in industrial environments, with robust housing and protection against dust and water ingress.

Usage Features

The S3Z Laser Series sensors are designed for ease of use and integration into various systems.

Indicators:
- Output LED (Yellow): This LED illuminates when the sensor's output is active, indicating that an object has been detected or that the beam is clear, depending on the operation mode (light or dark).
- Stability LED (Green) (S3Z...B01/C01/C11/F01/T51): This green LED indicates the stability of the received signal. When ON, it signifies that the sensor is operating with a safety margin greater than 20% compared to the output switching value, ensuring reliable detection even with minor environmental changes or object variations.
- Power ON LED (Green) (S3Z...G00): For through-beam receivers, this green LED simply indicates that the sensor is powered and operational.
Adjustment Mechanisms:
- Trimmer (S3Z...B01/C01/C11/F01/T51): This rotary control allows users to adjust the sensor's sensitivity. Turning the trimmer clockwise increases the operating distance or sensitivity, making it easier to detect objects further away or with lower reflectivity. This is crucial for fine-tuning the sensor to specific application requirements.
- Adjustment Screw (S3Z...M01): For diffuse proximity models with background suppression, a multi-turn adjustment screw is used to precisely set the cutoff distance. Turning the screw clockwise increases the operating distance, allowing the sensor to detect objects further away while still ignoring the background.
- Light/Dark Trimmer (S3Z...G00): This switch allows users to select between light-on and dark-on operation modes. In light-on mode, the output is active when light is received (e.g., beam clear in through-beam), while in dark-on mode, the output is active when light is interrupted (e.g., object detected). This flexibility allows the sensor to be adapted to different control logic requirements.
Alignment:
- Through-beam and Retro-reflective (S3Z...B01/F01/G00/T51): Alignment involves positioning the sensor and reflector (or emitter/receiver pair) on opposite sides. The sensitivity trimmer is typically set to maximum, and the sensor is then adjusted until the output LED switches ON and OFF at the edges of the detection area, allowing the user to center the sensor for optimal performance. The green Stability LED helps confirm a robust alignment.
- Diffuse Proximity (S3Z...M01): Alignment for diffuse models with background suppression involves placing the target object and adjusting the cutoff distance using the adjustment screw. The procedure guides the user to find the points where the sensor switches ON and OFF for the target and background, then setting the control to the midpoint for reliable detection.
- Retro-reflective with Background Suppression (S3Z...C01/C11): These models require setting the sensitivity trimmer to minimum, placing the target, and then adjusting the trimmer to detect the target. Subsequently, the target is removed, and the trimmer is further adjusted to detect the background (if present). The optimal setting is then found at an intermediate position between these two points.

Maintenance Features

The S3Z Laser Series sensors are designed for minimal maintenance, focusing on robust construction and clear operational feedback.

Robust Housing: The sensors feature a durable housing, typically made of PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate) for the body and PC (Polycarbonate) for the indicator cover, with PMMA (Polymethyl Methacrylate) lenses. This construction provides a high degree of protection (IP67), making them suitable for harsh industrial environments where exposure to dust and water is common.
Mechanical Stop for Trimmer: For models with a trimmer (S3Z...B01/C01/C11/F01/T51), the rotation is limited by a mechanical stop. This prevents over-rotation and potential damage to the internal mechanism, although users are cautioned against applying excessive torque during adjustment.
Installation Guidelines: The manual provides clear installation guidelines, including recommended tightening torques for mounting screws, to ensure proper and secure installation without damaging the sensor or compromising its protection rating. It also advises against applying excessive impact during installation.
Self-Diagnostic Capabilities: While not explicitly detailed as "self-diagnostic," the Stability LED provides a continuous indication of the signal quality. A stable green light ensures that the sensor is operating within a healthy margin, allowing operators to identify potential issues (e.g., misalignment, dirty lenses, or environmental interference) before they lead to detection failures. If the Stability LED is not ON, it suggests that the sensor is operating close to its switching threshold, prompting the user to check alignment or sensitivity.
Easy Replacement: The sensors are designed with standard M8 connectors or pre-wired cables, facilitating straightforward replacement if necessary. The compact dimensions and standardized mounting options ensure compatibility with existing setups.
Cleaning: Although not explicitly stated as a maintenance feature, the smooth surfaces of the housing and lenses allow for easy cleaning, which is crucial for maintaining optimal performance, especially in dusty or dirty environments. Regular cleaning of the lenses ensures that the laser beam is not obstructed, preventing false detections or missed objects.

In summary, the Datalogic S3Z Laser Series offers a versatile range of photoelectric sensors with intuitive controls, clear indicators, and robust construction, making them reliable and easy to integrate into various industrial automation tasks.
