LED indicator/fault pattern Cause Measures
Green LED does not light up Voltage interruptions Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
Green LED does not light up Sensor is faulty If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor
Yellow LED flashes Sensor is still ready for oper‐
ation, 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 / Readjust the sensitiv‐
ity (potentiometer) / Check
sensing range and adjust
if necessary, see figure 3,
page 9
Yellow LED lights up, no object
in the path of the beam
Distance between the sensor
and the background is too
short
Reduce the sensing range,
see figure 3
Object is in the path of the
beam, yellow LED does not
light up
Distance between the sensor
and the object is too long or
sensing range is set too short
increase the sensing range,
take note of the distance
between the sensor and the
background, see figure 3
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.
•
WEEE: This symbol on the product, its package or in this document,
indicates that a product is subject to these regulations.
10 Maintenance
SICK sensors are maintenance-free.
We recommend doing the following regularly:
•
Clean the external lens surfaces
•
Check the screw connections and plug-in connections
No modifications may be made to devices.
