2 Safety
2.1 Personnel requirements
Certain work with the product may only be carried out by specialized personnel.
Specialized personnel are staff members who can evaluate the tasks assigned to them and rec-
ognize potential danger, based on their training and work as well as a reliable understanding of
technical safety issues.
Qualified personnel are divided into the following categories:
nInstructed personnel:
A person who has been informed and, if required, trained, by a specialist about the assigned
tasks and potential dangers of improper behavior.
nSpecialist:
A person who, based on his/her training, experience, and instruction, as well as his/her
knowledge of applicable standards, rules, and accident prevention regulations, has been au-
thorized to carry out the respectively required tasks, while recognizing and avoiding poten-
tial dangers.
nElectrical specialist:
A person with the appropriate specialist training, knowledge, and experience allowing him/
her to recognize and avoid dangers originating from electricity.
2.2 General information
Instructions for appropriate use
Instructions for appropriate use This product is a precision device designed for the detection of
objects, the acquisition of physical measuring units and for the evaluation of measured values
for output in the form of electrical signals for the higher-level system.
Unless not especially labelled, the product must not be used in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres.
Set-up
Installation, mounting and adjustment of this product may only be executed by skilled and au-
thorised personnel.
Installation
Only use the provided mounting devices and accessories for product installation. Unused out-
puts must not be assigned. Unused strands must be isolated. Do not exceed the maximum per-
missible bending radius of the cable. Prior to electrical connection of the product, the system
must be down and not live. Where mandatory, use shielded cables for protection against elec-
tromagnetic interference. Where plug-in connections are added to shielded cables by the cus-
tomer, these plug-in connections must be EMC compliant and the cable shield must be attached
to the connector housing over a large surface area.
Disposal (environmental protection)
Do not dispose of electrical and electronic equipment in household waste. The
product contains valuable raw materials for recycling, which is why the old prod-
uct must be returned to an authorised collecting point for correct disposal/recy-
cling. For further information see www.baumer.com.

3.2 General functionality
The sensor measures the distance to an object to be measured by angle calculation (triangula-
tion principle). For this purpose, the sensor projects a laser point on the object to be measured.
This laser point is mapped on the receiver element by the receiving optics. The distance to the
object to be measured is calculated from the location of the image on the receiver element. The
measured distance is provided as a measured value via the following channels integrated in the
sensor:
nRS485 interface with Modbus RTU protocol
The following options are available to you for parameterizing the sensor:
nRS485 interface with Modbus RTU protocol
nTeach button on the sensor

The data for your sensor version can be found in the data sheet.
CD

Sde
ZP
ZP Zero position CD Blind region
Sdc Start of the measurement range MR Measurement range
Sde End of the measurement range
Blind region (CD)
nRegion in which the sensor cannot detect any measurement objects.
nUnwanted objects (objects not to be measured) in this region may lead to deviations in the
measurement results.
Measuring range (MR)
nRegion in which the measurement object must be present for the sensor to deliver reliable
measurement results.
nUnwanted objects (objects not to be measured) in this region may lead to deviations in the
measurement results.
nThe limits of the measurement range (MR) are defined via the parameters Start of the mea-
surement range (Sdc) and End of the measurement range (Sde).
Zero position (ZP)
nIn the factory settings, the zero point is located on the front of the sensor (ZP=0mm). The
output consists of the distance between the front of the sensor and the object to be mea-
sured.
nThe following values depend on the zero position:
▪ Output measured values
▪ Switching points
nCapable of parameterization via:
▪ Modbus RTU
▪ Teach button
