2.1 Use for Intended Purpose
This sensor is used for object detection and distance determination.
Ultrasonic sensors emit pulsed ultrasonic waves at a certain frequency using air as a transmitting medium.
The sensors evaluate the transit time of the ultrasound reflected from the object. Parameters can be taught
into the sensors using the teach-in key, via an input or via IO-Link. The output is switched when the preselect-
ed switching point is reached. Two independent switching outputs can be set up. Furthermore, the measured
value can be read out via IO-Link 1.1. In addition to reflex mode, two sensors can also be used in through-
beam mode.
The product may only be used in the specified ambient conditions
(see technical data on the product detail
page at www.wenglor.com).
The guidelines, safety data and approvals specified in the technical data must
also be taken into account.
