O6D laser distance sensor: Installation guidelines

The O6D laser distance measurement sensors are easy to install. The hardware consists of the sensor, two M3 mounting screws, mounting bracket and cabling.

For additional support, contact our customer service center at 1-855-785-0325 to speak with one of our application engineers.

Installation

The sensor has to be installed in a way to ensure that the object is moving into the detection zone of the sensor, from the side or the front.

Operating and display features

 

1: LED green - operation
2: Button OUT OFF
3: LED yellow - switching output active
4: Button OUT ON

Hysteresis function - distance

1. When the object approaches, the switching output OUT is only switched on when the set point (A) is reached.

2. When the object is removed again, the switching output OUT does not switch back before the reset point (B) is exceeded. The reset point (B) is above the set point (A).

A: Switch-on point, B: Reset point

Hysteresis function - reflectivity

When the object reflectivity increases, the switching output OUT is only switched on when the set point (A) is reached.

When the object gets darker, the switching output OUT does not switch back before the value is below the reset point (B). The reset point (B) is smaller than the set point (A). 

1: Laser beam, 2: Direction of movement of the object, A: Switch-on point, B: Reset point
