MOUNTING THE SENSOR
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and our
products. This manual will make you familiar with the installation and operation of our ultrasonic sensors.
Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. After unpacking the device, check it for
any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check the delivery for
completeness. If necessary consult the transportation company, or contact WayCon directly.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Ultrasonic sensors may be installed in any position, as long as depositions like dust, spray mist, or
condensing humidity are avoided on the sound active membrane.
It is important to avoid structure-borne sound bridges between the sensor and it's holder.
In case several ultrasonic sensors are used in one application, it is important to leave sufficient distance
between them. Otherwise the sensors may interact which leads to false measurement values.
By using a sound deflection angle the sound beam can be redirected, at the expense of the sensor's
maximum measurement range. A plain and hard surface should be used for the defection of the sound
beam. Redirecting the sound beam with multiple sound deflection angles should be avoided.
