Check the power supply,
check all electrical connecti‐

ons) /

If the power supply is OK, re‐
place the sensor
Check the operating conditi‐
ons: Fully align the beam of
light (light spot) with the re‐
flector. / Clean the optical sur‐
faces (sensor and reflector). /
Readjust the sensitivity (po‐
tentiometer) / If the potentio‐
meter is set to the max. sen‐
sing range: Reduce the dis‐
tance between the sensor and
the reflector, and check the re‐
flector type against graphic
H. / Reflector is not suitable
for the application in question
(we recommend only using
SICK reflectors) / Damping of
the object is < 10% / Check
sensing range and adjust if
necessary; see graphic H. /
Distance between the sensor
and the reflector is too long /
