Operating principle of an ultrasonic sensor 5 6 : Connection : ousing : Electronics : Sound transducer 5: Sound waves 6: Object / reflector Important terms Active zone Blind zone Area in front of the sensing face in which the sensor reacts to the approach of objects. Close range in front of the sound transducer which allows no time of flight measurement Output function Normally open: Object in the active zone > output switched. Normally closed: Object in the active zone > output locked. Programmable: Choice between normally closed or normally open. Positive switching: Positive output signal (to -). Negative Negative output signal (to ). switching: 768 / 5 / Rated insulation voltage Rated short-circuit current Rated impulse withstand voltage Power-on delay time Operating voltage Utilisation category ysteresis Short-circuit protection DC units with protection class III: 6 V DC For short-circuit-proof units: A DC units with protection class III: 6 V DC:.8 kv ( overvoltage category II) The time the sensor needs to be ready for operation after application of the operating voltage (in the millisecond range) < ms. Voltage range in which the sensor operates reliably. A stabilised and smoothed direct voltage should be used. Take into account the residual ripple. DC units: DC- (control of solenoids) Difference between switch-on and switch-off point. ifm sensors which are protected against excessive current by means of a pulsed short-circuit protection. The inrush current of incandescent lamps, electronic relays and low resistance loads may cause this protection to cut in and turn the sensor off!
Important terms Ultrasonic reflector Product standard IEC 697-5- Switch point drift Protection rating Current consumption Transport and storage conditions The functional specifications refer to a mild steel reflector defined by ifm at maximum range with an edge length of mm (UGT) or mm (UIT). Besides mild steel reflectors, objects that can reflect sound well can also be used as a reflector. The min. reflector size depends on the object size and the angle of aperture of the emitted sound. The shifting of the switch point due to changes in the ambient temperature. IPxy IP68 IP69K According to IEC 659 Test condition: m water depth for 7 days To ISO 65 (replacement for DIN 5-9) Current for the internal supply of DC units. Unless otherwise indicated in the data sheet, the following applies: Transport and storage temperature: Min. = - C. Max. = max. ambient temperature according to the data sheet. The relative air humidity (R) must not exceed 5 % at +7 C. At lower temperatures, a higher air humidity is permissible. Shelf life: 5 years. Transport and storage height: no restrictions. Degree of soiling are designed for degree of soiling. Maintenance, repair and disposal If used correctly, no maintenance and repair measures are necessary. Only the manufacturer is allowed to repair the unit. After use dispose of the unit in an environmentally friendly way in accordance with the applicable national regulations.

IO-ink * ) General information This unit has an IO-ink communication interface which requires an IO-ink-capable module (IO-ink master) for operation. The IO-ink interface enables direct access to the process and diagnostic data and provides the possibility to set the parameters of the unit during operation. In addition, communication is possible via a point-to-point connection with a USB adapter cable**). Further information about IO-ink at www.ifm.com.

Connection systems Sensors must not be operated in parallel connection (OR). Series connection (AND) is not recommended since the power-on delay times, voltage drops and current consumption add up. U B min (sensor) and U IG min (load) must remain unchanged. Wiring example * ) x pnp x npn x pnp x npn - x pnp + x input x npn + x input x pnp + x analogue x npn + x analogue x analogue + x
