Piezoelectric analog proximity mode sensors with push-button or remote programming of sensing window limits

• Ultrasonic proximity detection from 100 to 1400 mm (4 to 55 inches)

• Push-button TEACH-mode programming of sensing window limits

• Digital filtering for exceptional immunity to electrical and acoustic “noise”

• Selectable 0 to 10V dc voltage sourcing or 4 to 20 mA current sourcing analog outputs

• Selectable output slope: positive or negative with increasing target distance

• Wide operating temperature range of –25 to +70 °C; all models include temperature com-

pensation

• Rugged design for use in demanding sensing environments; rated IEC IP67, NEMA 6P

• Choose models with integral 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable, or with Mini-style or Euro-style

quick-disconnect fitting

• Input for remote TEACH-mode programming of window limits

Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For

example, Q45ULIU64ACR W/30. Models with a QD connector require a mating cable.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious

injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its

use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-

energized sensor output condition.

Temperature Compensation

All models listed above feature temperature compensation. An increase in air temperature shifts both sensing window limits closer to the

sensor. Conversely, a decrease in air temperature shifts both limits further away from the sensor. The shift is approximately 3.5% of the

limit distance for a 20 °C change in temperature.

Temperature compensated models maintain the position of both sensing window limits to within 1% of each limit distance over the 0 to

+50 °C range, and to within 2.5% over the full operating range of from –25 to +70 °C.

Setting the Near and Far Sensing Limits

The Q45U features a single push button for programming of sensing window near and far limits. For more information, refer to Program-

ming the Window Limits on page 4.

Status Indicators

Status indicator LEDs are visible through the transparent, o-ring sealed acrylic top cover. Indicator function in the Run mode is, as fol-

lows:

• The green LED is solid when power is applied to the sensor and flashes to indicate a current output fault.

• The red LED is solid when an echo is received and flashes at a rate proportional to echo strength.

• The amber LED is solid when the target is within the operating window limits.

The 5-segment moving dot LED indicator displays the relative position of the target within the programmed sensing window. LED #1

flashes when the target is closer than the near limit. LED #5 flashes when the target is beyond the far limit.

If the target is held at the same position for programming of both limits, the sensor will establish a 10 mm-wide sensing window, centered on the target position. Remote Programming the Window Limits Connect the yellow wire of the Analog Q45U to a switch or process controller for remote programming of the sensing window limits. The programming procedure is the same as for the push button.
