NOTE
After successful connection of the product to the IO-Link Master, the green (Power) LED
flashes to indicate a functioning IO-Link communication between the master and device.
The following tutorial shows how to commission the sensor:

Teaching in the sensor
Alignment with foreground suppression
Align the sensor with the background. You must ensure that the optical opening (front
screen) of the sensor is completely clear
Figure 3: Alignment on background
WTF4S are photoelectric proximity sensors with foreground suppression. The photoelec‐
tric proximity sensor requires a background as a reference. The remission factor and
position of the background should remain as uniform as possible. The maximum dis‐
tance (x) between the photoelectric proximity sensor and background as well as the
minimum object height (y) must be upheld. As a rule, a WTF4S is used to detect very
flat objects on a conveyor belt.
Check the application conditions: Compare distance between sensor and background,
minimal object height as well as remission capability of background and object with the
associated diagram
(see table 8, page
height). Remission factor: 6% = black 1, 90% = white 2 (referring to standard white as
per DIN 5033).
