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).
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.

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 graphic F. /
