Troubleshooting
► In the station software, activate all fiber optic cables (transmitters). These may need to be re-
calibrated without boards in the conveyor.
► A red light must be visible for the transmitters.
If no light is visible at the transmitter, there is probably an error.
► As a cross-check, you can switch the transmitting and receiving fiber optic cable at the corres-
ponding fiber optic sensor (WLL180T-F preconfigured SXa [03093295‑xx] or WLL180T-M pre-
configured SXa [03093294‑xx]).
NOTICE
Do not confuse the transmitter with the receiver
► Make sure not to confuse the transmitting and receiving fiber optic cable. If you do,
other optical sensors may be sporadically affected.
NOTICE
Display on the fiber optic sensors
The display on the fiber optic sensors corresponds to the currently measured intensity.
► The intensity can vary depending on installation position, cable length and environ-
mental conditions.
► The value shown should be not less than 100.
► The fiber optic sensor reacts to intensity deviations during operation.
Performing the repair
► Use the software or manually move the conveyor rail into a position which allows you best
access.
► Switch off the machine, disconnect it from the power supply and secure it to prevent
unauthorized reactivation.
1.2 "Preparatory work..." [}16]
► Remove the fiber optic cable from the conveyor side.
NOTICE
Sticker
If the fiber optic cable has already been repaired, a yellow adhesive sticker dot will be at-
tached to the optical system or the fiber optic sensor.
One repair hose may be used per fiber optic cable. You must either replace the whole fiber
optic cable or the part that has already been repaired.
► Check the fiber optic cable for damages.
The most common error causes are:
– Optical system of the fiber optic cable damaged
– Fiber optic cable pinched in conveyor side
– Fiber optic cable ruptured (e.g. caused by a too narrow bending radius)
NOTICE
Fiber optic cable ruptured at the trailing chain
If the fiber optic cable is ruptured in the trailing chain or at the transition from the trailing
chain to the conveyor side, the effort for finding the error cause is often identical to the ef-
fort for replacing the complete fiber optic cable.
► Cut the fiber optic cable at the defective position.
► Use the cutter tool to cut off 10mm of the fiber optic cable on each side of the rupture.
Make sure to preserve a minimum distance of approx. 50mm to the optical system of the fiber
optic cable.

CAUTION!
Only use each cutting aperture once
Make sure that you only use each cut-
ting aperture once. If they are used
more than once, good quality cuts can
not be guaranteed.

Fig.355: Repairing the fiber optic cables
► Slide both ends of the fiber optic cable
into the repair hose until they touch
each other.
► Use Loctite 406 on the repair hose.
Thus, the fiber optic cable is fixed in the
hose. The two ends of the fiber optic
cable are not glued to each other.
CAUTION!
Highly viscous instant glue
Use gloves and a dosage tip.
.
► Further installation is performed by following the above instructions in the reverse order. Also
observe the following instructions:
●
Check the setting for the transmitter/receiver and correct if necessary.
7.8.3 "Checking the laser light barrier" [}270]
7.8.4 "Correcting the Laser Light Barrier Setting" [}273]
●
Calibrate the sensors of the PCB conveyor.
●
Check the display on the fiber optic sensor. The value shown must be over 100. Check the
value for the various conveyor widths (red = output / green = input).
●
Mark the optical system and the fiber optic cable at the fiber optic sensor with the glue dot
supplied. The glue dot indicates that the fiber optic cable has already been repaired and that a
replacement is compulsory at the next defect.

Overview
Fig.356: Overview of fiber optic cable sensor
The fiber optic cable sensors are located at
locations 1 and 4, under the covers of the con-
veyor control(1) and(2).
The sensors for the input conveyor, placement
area 1 and intermediate conveyor can be
found at (1).
The sensors for placement area 2 and the out-
put conveyor can be found at (2).
The fiber optic cable sensors are separated
into master (M) and slave (F).
The receiver is always at the top of the
sensors and the transmitter at the bottom.
The transmitters are located on sides B and D.
The receivers are located on sides A and C.

Lane 2 2.1 Input belt

The master synchronizes the slaves to prevent any mutual interference. This is conducted via a side
connection to the neighboring sensor. For this reason, do not simply lift the sensors up and off the strip.
Each sensor has two fiber optic cables connected (transmitter/receiver), which belong to the same
conveyor belt (segment).
