Possible cause
Elimination
Green LED “POWER”
not lit
No or incorrect supply voltage
1. Check the supply voltage: Does it
comply with the type plate?
2. Check the PIN assignment
If supply voltage is correctly connected:
Evaluation Unit faulty
Ä
Replace the Evaluation Unit
LEDs lit or
fl
ash ran-
domly
Supply voltage too low or incorrect
1. Check the supply voltage: Does it
comply with the type plate?
2. Check the PIN assignment
The green LED “Power”
fl
ashes at 10 Hz
Interference in the direct vicinity of the
sensor (ultrasonic transducer)
1. When possible, eliminate the interfe-
rence
2. Recon
fi
gure the sensor
3. Move the sensor
Internal error
Ä
Perform a RESET
The green LED “Power”
fl
ashes at 20 Hz
Electromagnetic interference
1. Check the cable laying between the
sensor and the Evaluation Unit: Too
close to the source of interference?
2. Shield the USi from the source of
electromagnetic interference
3. Earth the Evaluation Unit
Acoustic interference
1. When possible, eliminate the interfe-
rence
2. Recon
fi
gure the sensor
3. Move the sensor

1 and Sensor
2 not correctly con-
nected
Ä
Connect both sensors
Ä
Check the cable connections
If the sensors are correctly connected:
Supply line or sensor faulty
Ä
Replace both sensors
Prerequisite: The USi is connected to the supply voltage. There is at least one
sensor connected to the Evaluation Unit. Only taught-in objects are located in the
detection
