3 Functions and features
The unit is used as an optical distance sensor.
3.1 Applications
• The optical distance sensor measures distances between 0.2 and 10 m.
• It has a background suppression at > 10...19 m.
• The measured value is shown in a 10-segment display.
• According to the set output functions 2 output signals can be generated.
• O1D100: Certification 21 CFR PART 1040
The distance between the sensor and the background must be limited to
max. 19 m by the customer. Otherwise the measured value may be ambi-
guous. → 5.1 Installation conditions
As an alternative article O1D105 can be used (the distance between
sensor and background can be max. 100 m).
4 Functions
4.1 Output function hysteresis
The hysteresis keeps the switching state of the output stable if the measured
value varies about the sensing range. Both outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) can be set
as hysteresis function. → 10.2.4 Hysteresis function
4.2 Output function window
The window function enables the monitoring of a defined acceptable range. Both
outputs (OUT1 and OUT2) can be set as window function.
→ 10.2.6 Window function
4.3 Analogue output function
The sensor can also output an analogue signal on output 2 (OUT2) which is
proportional to the distance. → 10.2.11 Scaling of the measuring range (analogue
output).

5 Installation
5.1 Installation conditions
►► Install the unit so that the object to be detected is within a measuring range of
0.2...10 m.
The unambiguity range of the sensor is fixed to 19.2 m. Objects within a range
> 10…19.2 m are suppressed.
Reflecting objects in the direct beam path of the sensor - also in the range
> 19.2 m – are to be avoided by the customer. Otherwise the measured
values may be ambiguous. UK

Limit values at which the output with selected window function changes its
switching state (object present / not present between the distance "near"
and the distance "far").

Delay for the switching outputs
[dSx] = switch-on delay; [drx] = switch-off delay.
The output does not immediately change its switching status when the
switching condition is met but only after the delay has elapsed. If the swit-
ching condition is no longer met after the delay has elapsed, the switching
status of the output does not change.
[dS2] and [dr2] are not effective if [OU2] = [I] or [U].
→ 10.4.1 Setting of the time delay for switching outputs
Damping of the measured signal
This function allows to suppress short-time saturation of the measuring
element (such saturation can result from direct reflection or strong fluctu-
ations in brightness).
During the delay set, the latest valid value measured is displayed, the
output signals remain unchanged.

• [Fnc] = window function / normally closed
►► Confirm with [MODE/ENTER].
16
10.2.4 Hysteresis function
The hysteresis keeps the switching state of the output stable if the measured
value varies about the sensing range. In either case set and reset points are
symmetrically arranged around the selected switch point [SPx]. The hysteresis
is the distance between set and reset points; it is calculated on the basis of the
repeatability with a safety factor of 1.5.
Example Hno
1. For the output function [Hno] the output switches when the object approaches
and when the switch point (A) is reached.
UK
2. When the object is removed again, the output does not switch back before the
reset point (B) is exceeded.
The reset point (B) is greater than the set point (A).

When the output function [Hnc] was selected, set and reset point are reversed.
The output is switched off when the object approaches. When the object is re-
moved, the output switches on.

Switching status of the outputs
Output function Object distance (D) Output status
[Hno] D < [SPx] Closed

[Hnc] D < [SPx] Open
D > [SPx] Closed
Example of output function [Hno]
Sampling rate 50 Hz, distance to the object 1200 mm, grey value (18 % remission):
Hysteresis = ± 10 mm (repeatability → 10.3.3 table) x factor 1.5 = 15 mm
-- Reset point 1200 mm + (15 mm) = 1215 mm
-- Set point 1200 mm - (15 mm) = 1185 mm
