10.2.  Evaluation unit

A special unit SSU-1212-D is designed for the evaluation of diagnostic modes, which can evaluate 

the pulses generated by the sensor. It does not matter what state the sensor output is in (closed or 

open). Based on the period of the generated pulse, the unit determines in which diagnostic mode 

the sensor is and communicates information to the user.

10.1.3. Incorrect measurement

INDICATION:   - 

green

 LED is dark

 - 

orange

 LED: in the event of closed output the LED shines with periodic dim

-

ming (0.1 s)

 

 

in the event of open output the LED is dark with periodic lighting 

up (0.1 s)

OUTPUT: a pulse with a width of 300 us with a period of 

10 ms

 is generated into the output signal

SENSOR STATUS: the sensor setting is OK, but the diagnostic indicates a problem with the meas

-

uring curve, which can be caused by a failure of any element of the sensor

10.1.4. Another failure of sensor

INDICATION: the state of both LEDs cannot be specified, as their function may be affected by a 

control circuit error

OUTPUT: 

the sensor does not generate any diagnostic pulses in the output signal

SENSOR STATUS: either it is a fault in the control circuit or a failure in the output part of the elec

-

trical circuit and these faults can be diagnosed only by a special version of the 

SSU-1212-D
