Alarm / Health output
The sensor (HTF18(L)) features a pre-failure notification output ("Q2" in connection
diagram [B], if the alarm option is selected), which issues a notification if the signal
strength of the light being received is not sufficient. Possible causes: Sensor is conta‐
minated, sensor is out of alignment. In the good state: LOW (U
contaminated: HIGH (>+U
Health output: The sensor (HTF18(L)) features a health status notification output ("Q2"
in connection diagram [B], if the health option is selected), which issues a notification if
the signal strength of the light being received is sufficient. Possible causes, if the signal
strength is not sufficient: Sensors are contaminated, sensors are out of alignment, or
cable is damaged. In the good state: HIGH (>+U
the event of cable interruption: LOW (U
Time types
Time types: HTF18(L) with optional On-delay or Off-Delay adjustment: t0 = no time
delay, t1 = time delay when object is detected, t2 = time delay when no object is
detected. The time setting can be selected using the potentiometer according to A.
Timer stages can be set from 0 to 2 seconds.
The Troubleshooting table indicates measures to be taken if the sensor stops working.

Measures
Check the power supply,
check all electrical connec‐
tions (cables and plug connec‐
tions)
Ensure there is a stable power
supply without interruptions
If the power supply is OK,
replace the sensor

Initiate a factory reset. The
digital outputs are reset to
factory settings.
Check the operating condi‐
tions: Fully align the beam
of light (light spot) with the
background. / Clean the opti‐
cal surfaces / Check sensing
range and adjust if necessary,
see figures in section 1.8.2 /
With health output: Check the
voltage supply, check all elec‐
trical connections (cables and
plug connections).
