Step Eight 

 

 

ULTRASONIC AND VIBRATION SWITCHES 

The LU10-14_5 and LZ12-14_5 switch can be wired normally open or normally closed for your application 
requirement.  Each ultrasonic switch requires 12 - 36 VDC power while each vibration switch requires 12-30 
VDC power to operate the sensor and switch the relay. The relay output can be wired as a dry contact. All 
illustrations below identify a Dry switch state as the normal position of the relay. 

SWITCHING A NORMALLY OPEN DC LOAD: 

The Red wire connects to Positive (+) of the power supply and the Black wire connects to Negative (-). The 
LOAD can be attached to either the Green or White wires. Complete the circuit by either connecting the 
Green to (+) VDC power or White to (-) VDC power (see illustration below). 

 

SWITCHING A NORMALLY CLOSED DC LOAD: 

The Black wire connects to Positive (+) of the power supply and the Red wire connects to Negative (-). The 
LOAD can be attached to either the Green or White wires.  Complete the circuit by either connecting the 
Green to (+) VDC power or White to (-) VDC power (see illustration below). 

 

MAINTENANCE ALARM (LZ12 VIBRATION ONLY): 

For optimum performance and proactive maintenance, the sensor automatically adjusts for coating, and if 
necessary, outputs a preventative maintenance alarm.  The Yellow wire is a NPN transistor designed to 
switch when a build-up of material prevents the vibration switch from operating at its operational frequency.  
Use the Yellow wire to identify when the Vibration switch requires cleaning (see the LZ12 manual for wiring 
information).
