Ultrasonic Sensors with Pump-In/Pump-Out Switching Logic
ULTRASONIC
• Fast, easy-to-use TEACH-Mode programming; no potentiometer adjustments
• Program both outputs together or independently. The two outputs may be identical, independent,
overlapping, or complementary
• Remote TEACH for security and convenience
• Choose models with 150 mm to 1 m range (5.9 in to 39.4 in) or 300 mm to 2 m range (11.8 in to 78.7
in)
• Wide operating range of -20° to +70°C (-4° to +158°F)
• Choose models with either NPN or PNP dual discrete outputs
• LED indicators for Power ON/OFF, Signal Strength, and Discrete Outputs Conducting
• Choose models with integral unterminated 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) or with Euro-style QD connector
• Compact, self-contained, right-angle sensor package with fully encapsulated electronics
• Rugged design for use in demanding sensing environments; rated IEC IP67, NEMA 6P
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.

Overview
U-GAGE® is an easy-to-use ultrasonic sensor, ideal for demanding environments. Simple push-but-
ton programming provides flexibility for a variety of applications. Excellent for gauging applications
such as sensing liquid levels in a tank or for sensing most clear materials.
Each sensor includes two discrete outputs, which may be programmed independently with different
window limits or together with identical limits.
Pump-In/Pump-Out Switching Function
Pump-in/pump-out operation provides the switching logic required for fill-level control, web tensioning
control, and similar applications. In this mode, Output 2 energizes when the target reaches the far-
thest sensing window limit, and stays energized until the target moves to the nearest limit. Output 1
de-energizes at the farthest limit and does not re-energize until the target moves to the nearest limit.
Figure 2 shows how pumping action might be controlled directly by the sensor in a fill-level-control
application.

9 m (30 ft) cables are available by adding suffix W/30 to the model number of any cabled sensor (for example, T30UHNA W/30). A model with a QD connector requires an optional mating
cable; see
