)
Supply Voltage and Current
Discrete: 12 to 24V dc (10% max. ripple); 100 mA (exclusive of load)
Analog: 15 to 24V dc (10% max. ripple); 100 mA (exclusive of load)
Ultrasonic Frequency
Long Range: 128 kHz Short Range: 230 kHz
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages.

Long Range: See charts RC-3 and RC-5 on page 516.
Adjustments
The following may be selected by a 4-position DIP switch located on top of the sensor, beneath a
transparent o-ring sealed acrylic cover:
Discrete: Switch 1: Output normally open/normally closed (pump in/pump out)
Switch 2: High/Low level control mode or ON/OFF presence sensing mode
Switch 3 & 4: Response speed selection (digital lter)
Analog: Switch 1: Output slope positive or output slope negative
Switch 2: Current output mode or voltage output mode
Switch 3: Loss of echo min/max mode or loss of echo Hold Mode
Switch 4: Loss of echo min/max default output value
Indicators
Discrete: Three status LEDs:
Green ON steady: power to sensor is ON
Green flashing: output is overloaded
Yellow ON steady: outputs are conducting (Yellow LED also indicates programming
status during setup mode)
Red flashing: indicates relative strength of received echo
Analog: Three status LEDs:
Green ON steady: power to sensor is ON
Green flashing: current output fault detected (the 4-20 mA current path to ground has
been opened)
Yellow ON steady: target is sensed within the window limits (Yellow LED also indicates
programming status during setup mode)
Red flashing: indicates relative strength of received echo
5-segment moving dot LED indicates the position of the target within the sensing window.
