microsonic mic-25/IU/M mic Ultrasonic Sensors with One Analogue Output Installation Guide

The mic-sensor with one analogue output measures the distance to an object within the detection zone contactless. A signal proportional to distance is created according to the adjusted window limits of the analogue characteristic curve.

The sensor automatically detects the load put to the analogue output and switches to current output or voltage output respectively.
Choosing between rising and falling output characteristic is possible.

The sensors are adjustable using Teach-in processes via the Comchannel (Pin 5).
Using the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) all sensor parameter settings can be adjusted by a Windows® Software.

Safety Notes

Read the operating instructions prior to start-up.
Connection, installation and adjustment works may only be carried out by expert personnel.

No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted

The mic-sensors have a blind zone in which distance measurement is not possible. The operating range indicates the distance of the sensor that can be applied with normal reflectors with sufficient function reserve. When using good reflectors, such as a calm water surface, the sensor can also be used up to its maximum range. Objects that strongly absorb (e.g. plastic foam) or diffusely reflect sound (e.g. pebble stones) can also reduce the defined operating range.

Installation

Assemble the sensor at the installation location.
Plug in the connector cable to the M12 connector, see Fig. 1.

Start-up

Connect the power supply.
Set sensor parameters via the Teach-in procedure (see Diagram 1)

Factory setting

mic-sensors are delivered factory made with the following settings:

Rising analogue characteristic
Window limits for the analogue output set to blind zone and operating range

Maximum detection range set to maximum range

Synchronisation

If the assembly distances shown in Fig. 2 for two or more sensors are exceeded the integrated synchronisation should be used. Connect Com-channels (pin 5 at the units receptable) of all sensors (10 maximum).

mic-340…	≥2.00 m	≥18.00 m
mic-600…	≥4.00 m	≥30.00 m

Maintenance

mic-sensors work maintenance free. Small amounts of dirt on the surface do not influence function. Thick layers of dirt and caked-on dirt affect sensor function and therefore must be removed.

Notes

mic-sensors have internal temperature compensation. Because the sensors heat up on their own, the temperature compensation reaches its optimum working point after approx. 30 minutes of operation.

The load put to the analogue output is detected automatically when turning supply voltage on.
If no signal is detected for 20 seconds during teach-in procedure the made changes are stored and the sensor returns to normal mode operation.

You can reset the factory settings at any time, see Diagram 1.
