OUTPUT LED
The red LED indicates the output status.
READY LED
During functioning, the green LED permanently ON indicates a normal
operating condition; fast blinking indicates an output overload condition.
See the “SETTING” paragraph for setup procedure indications.
MARK / BKGD PUSHBUTTON
The pushbutton activates the setup procedure.
INSTALLATION
Operating distance is rated
starting from the lens front face.
The M12 connector or cable exit
can be rotated in three positions
by loosening the locking screw.
Tighten the locking screw when
finished.
The beam direction may be
changed swapping the cap and
the lens.
Detecting marks on a reflective surface is improved adjusting the beam
direction to 5° … 20° from surface axis.

operating mode; the switch allows to select the output type (NPN or
PNP).
FUNCTION SELECTION
When FORMAT is
selected (configuration
selector section 1), the
MARK and BKGD
puskbuttons are enabled and connecting the REMOTE inputs (TLm-xx1)
to the power supply as shown in the table allows to select up to 4
different settings (formats). This is the factory setting.
If a non-set format is selected, the sensor is disabled and the green LED
flashes at a low rate.
A setting can be stored selecting a format and executing the procedure
described in the “SETTING” paragraph.
When SET is selected (configuration selector section 1), the MARK and
BKGD pushbuttons are disabled; the REMOTE inputs (TLm-x1x) replace
the pushbuttons functionality.
Connecting the REMOTE A and B inputs to the positive power supply
rail is equivalent to pressing the MARK and BKGD pushbuttons
respectively. Connect the unused inputs to 0V.
TIMING FUNCTION
When ON is selected
(configuration selector
section 2), a delay timer
function is enabled which
extends the minimum ON
output time to 20 ms. The factory setting is OFF (timer disabled).
SETTING
A two-step setup procedure adjusts the switching threshold and the
LIGHT/DARK mode. Using the procedure given below the sensor output
is set to be ON when a mark is detected.
1) Output ON state acquisition (MARK)
Place the target mark into the emission spot and press the MARK
pushbutton until the green LED turns OFF.
Don’t move the mark during the setting phase (about 1 sec).
2) Output OFF state acquisition (BKGD)
Place the background into the emission spot and press the BKGD
pushbutton; the green LED blinks once.
Don’t move the background during the setting phase.
If the green LED lights permanently ON, a safe operation has been
obtained; if it flashes at a low rate the setup procedure has failed due to
insufficient contrast; repeat the procedure from the beginning.

Overview

The Datalogic TLµ Series is a compact and versatile photoelectric sensor designed for precise mark and background detection, offering various configuration options and robust technical specifications.

Function Description

The sensor's primary function is to detect marks and backgrounds, indicated by a red Output LED for output status and a green Ready LED for operational status. A permanently ON green LED signifies normal operation, while fast blinking indicates an output overload. The Mark/Bkgd pushbutton initiates the setup procedure.

Function Selection: The sensor offers flexible configuration through a double selector and a switch, accessible by removing the side cover.

  • FORMAT Mode: When FORMAT is selected via selector section 1, the MARK and BKGD pushbuttons are enabled. Connecting the REMOTE A and B inputs (TLµ-xx1 models) to the power supply allows selection of up to four different settings (formats). This is the factory default. If an unconfigured format is selected, the sensor is disabled, and the green LED flashes slowly. Settings can be stored by selecting a format and following the "SETTING" procedure.
  • SET Mode: When SET is selected via selector section 1, the MARK and BKGD pushbuttons are disabled. The REMOTE A and B inputs (TLµ-x1x models) then replace the pushbutton functionality. Connecting REMOTE A and B to the positive power supply rail is equivalent to pressing the MARK and BKGD pushbuttons, respectively. Unused inputs should be connected to 0V.

Timing Function:

  • ON Mode: When ON is selected via selector section 2, a delay timer function is enabled, extending the minimum ON output time to 20 ms. The factory setting is OFF (timer disabled).

Detection Diagram: The sensor's relative sensitivity varies with operating distance. The TLµ-x1x/4xx/5xx models show higher sensitivity at shorter distances, peaking around 10-15 mm, while the TLµ-x6x models maintain a more consistent sensitivity across a wider range, peaking around 20-25 mm.

Usage Features

Installation:

  • The operating distance is measured from the front face of the lens.
  • The M12 connector or cable exit can be rotated into three positions by loosening and re-tightening the locking screw.
  • The beam direction can be changed by swapping the cap and the lens.
  • Detecting marks on a reflective surface is improved by adjusting the beam direction to 5° to 20° from the surface axis.

Connections:

  • Brown: +10 ... 30 Vdc
  • Red: REMOTE A
  • Orange: REMOTE B
  • Grey: Analog Output
  • White: NPN/PNP
  • Blue: 0 V
  • Shield: The cable shield is insulated from the sensor housing; it is recommended to connect it to 0 V. Unused REMOTE wires should also be connected to 0 V.

Setting Procedure: A two-step setup procedure adjusts the switching threshold and the LIGHT/DARK mode, ensuring the sensor output is ON when a mark is detected.

  1. Output ON state acquisition (MARK): Place the target mark in the emission spot and press the MARK pushbutton until the green LED turns OFF. The mark should not be moved during this approximately 1-second setting phase.
  2. Output OFF state acquisition (BKGD): Place the background in the emission spot and press the BKGD pushbutton. The green LED will blink once. The background should not be moved during this setting phase.

If the green LED lights permanently ON, a safe operation has been achieved. If it flashes slowly, the setup procedure has failed due to insufficient contrast, and the procedure should be repeated from the beginning.
