detection zones

for different objects:

The dark grey areas are determined 

with a thin round bar (10 mm dia.) 

and indicate the typical operating range 

of a sensor. In order to obtain the light grey 

areas, a plate (100 x 100 mm) is introduced 

into the beam spread from the side. 

In doing so, the optimum angle between 

plate and sensor is always employed. 

This therefore indicates the maximum 

detection zone of the sensor. 

It is not possible to evaluate ultrasonic 

reflections outside  this area.

Notes

The zws sensor has a blind zone,
within which distance measure-
ments are not possible. 

In the normal operating mode, an il-
luminated yellow LED signals the
switched output is switched
through.

The standard sensor has no tempe-
rature compensation.

If the object to be sensed moves
into the detection area from the
side, the switching distance should
be set 8-10 % further than the de-
sired switch point to obtain a reli-
able object detection. 
If the object moves towards the
sensor (e.g. level control) the detect
point can be taught to the actual
distance at which the sensor has to
switch the output.

 

Fig. 4: Set the detect point for different  

directions of movement of the object

In the »Two-way reflective barrier«
operating mode, the object has to
be within the range of 0-85 % of
the set distance.

If the push-button is not pressed
for 10 minutes during the teach-in
setting, the settings made hitherto
are deleted.

The sensor can be reset to its fac-
tory setting.
