COMMISSIONING
 Set the Maximum distance (scan radius):
◦ Enter the distance using the keyboard.
or:
◦ Click and drag the gray distance line to the required radius.
 Enter the number of scan cycles over which the sensor is to determine the reference
contour in the Average reference contour overeld.Alargevaluewithaheavilyvi-
brating conveyor belt will result in a better averaged reference contour. The teach-in¬
process takes correspondingly longer.
 If necessary, check the Optimization for belts with slits or gaps checkbox (see "8.1.2
Optimization for conveyor belts with slits or gaps“ on page 56).
 If required, move the Level compensation slider to compensate for raising or lower-
ing of the conveyor belt (see "8.1.1 Compensation of the conveyor belt level“ on page
55).
 Ensure that hazard-free operation is possible
and start the empty conveyor belt.
 Click Teach-in. The sensor signals the teaching-in:
Process LED indication: 7-segment display
During teach-in
 Green
 (Teach-in)
Following successful teach-in
 Green,  Orange
 (Maintenance)
In the event of an error
 Green,  Orange
 (Maintenance)
Tab. 12: Indicators during teach-in
 If the teach-in process was not successful: Check the ambient conditions and/or
adjustthecongurationandrepeattheteach-inprocess.
 If the teach-in process was successful: Start the measuring mode.
• The duration of the teach-in process is dependent on the settings selected:
• During the teach-in the sensor will not respond to terminal commands. Terminal
commands sent to the sensor during this time will not be cached.
• Ifyouchangetheapertureangleduringtheconguration,thenthereferencecontour
should be taught-in again for optimization.
Average reference contour over Scan frequency Duration of the teach-in process
100 cycles 75 Hz 100 ÷ 75 Hz = 1,3 s
10,000 cycles 35 Hz 10.000 ÷ 35 Hz = 286 s
Tab. 13: Examples of the duration of the teach-in process
8.1.1 Compensation of the conveyor belt level
Due to the weight of the bulk the conveyor belt may drop or may lift:
• Conveyor belt dropping: Due to the weight of the bulk, the conveyor belt may drop
between transport rollers.
• Conveyor belt lifting: Due to the weight of the bulk, the tension on the conveyor belt
on the neighboring transport roller sections may be increased and as a result the
conveyor belt may lift.
