11 Troubleshooting
This chapter describes how you can identify and remedy faults that interrupt the func‐
t
ion.
DANGER
In t
he event of unclear faults, cease operation! Stop the machine if you cannot clearly
identify or allocate the error and if you cannot safely rectify the malfunction.
11.1 Sensor fault diagnosis
Table 5: Sensor fault diagnosis
LED indicator / error pattern Possible causes Possible measures
Green status LED does not light up No voltage or voltage below the limit
v
alues
b
Chec
k voltage supply
b
Check all electrical connections (cables
and plug connections)
Green status LED does not light up Voltage interruptions
b
Establish a stable voltage supply
Green status LED does not light up Sensor is faulty
b
Chec
k voltage supply
b
If the voltage supply is OK, replace the sen‐
sor
Yellow status LED flashing Sensor is still ready for operation,
but t
he operating conditions are not
ideal
b
Chec
k the operating conditions:
w
Fully align the beam of light (light
spot) with the object
w
Clean the optical surfaces
w
Check compliance of the detection
zone and adjust mounting position if
necessary
Yellow status LED lights up, no
ob
ject in the path of the beam
Distance between the sensor and
the background is too short
b
A
djust mounting position: greater distance
to the background
Object is in the path of the beam,
y
ellow status LED does not light up
Distance between the sensor and
the reflector is too great
b
A
djust mounting position: greater or shorter
distance to the object
