LED/fault pattern
Green LED flashes
Switching outputs do not
behave in accordance with
table 6
Yellow LED flashes
No object in beam path, no
output signal
Notes on malfunctions can be found in the service data.
Details of the available service data can be found in the detailed IO-Link description:

Cause
IO-Link communication
1. IO-Link communication
2. Change of the configuration
3. Short-circuit
Distance between sensor
and reflector is too large /
light beam is not completely
aligned to the reflector /
reflector is not suitable / Front
screen and/or reflector is con‐
taminated.
Test input (Test) is not con‐
nected properly

3. Check electrical connections
Check sensing range / check
alignment / SICK reflector is
recommended / Cleaning of
the optical surfaces (sensor
and reflector).
Check connection of the test
input. When using female cable
connectors with LED indicators,
make sure the test input is
assigned correspondingly.
