LED/fault pattern
Target color in the path of sen‐
sor beam but yellow LED does
not light up.
Not the target color in the path
of sensor beam but yellow LED
light up
Yellow LED blinks fast (10x)
during teach-in
The sensor must be disposed of in line with applicable country-specific regulations.
When disposing of them, you should try to recycle them (especially the precious met‐
als).
NOTE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Cause
Color is not the actual color
teach in sensor.
Error during teach in such as
sensor not at optimal sensing
distance
Tolerance chosen is too large
(coarse)
Teach-in is done with different
color and not the actual color
Color difference is too mini‐
mal
Unsuccessful teach-in due to
wrong sensing distance, color
difference too minimal, colors
overlapping, object surface is
not optimal (too rough, glossy,
small etc.)
Interval
Cleaning interval depends on ambi‐
ent conditions and climate
O P E R A T I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S | CSM
Measures
Re-teach sensor with actual
color
Re-teach sensor at optimal
sensing distance
Change tolerance level
between fine, middle, coarse
Change tolerance level
between fine, middle, coarse
Re-teach sensor with the
actual color
Re-teach sensor at optimal
sensing distance
Align sensor light spot exactly
at the target color
Tilt sensor by about 5° and
re-teach
