Ultrasonic proximity switch with
analogue output
Product Description
The zws sensor offers a non-contact
measurement of the distance to an
object which must be positioned
within the sensor’s detection zone. In
Ultrasonic Sensors
dependence of the set window lim-
its, a distance-proportional analogue
signal is output.
Via the push-button, the window
limits of the analogue output and its
characteristic can be adjusted (teach-
in). Two LEDs indicate operation and
the state of the analogue output.
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
Proper use
zws ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.

Synchronization
You can synchronize as many sensors
as you like.
Apply a square-wave signal to the
sync-input with pulse width t
i and
repetition rate t p (Fig.3 and
technical data).
A high level on the sync-input will
deactivate the sensor.

Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-
free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface
Notes
The zws sensor has a blind zone,
within which distance measure-
ments are not possible.
The zws sensor is equipped with
an internal temperature compen-
sation. Due to the sensor’s self-
heating, the temperature compen-
sation reaches its optimum
working point after approx. 30
minutes of operation.
In the normal operating mode, an il-
luminated yellow LED signals the ob-
ject is within the adjusted window
limits.
If the push-button is not pressed
for 30 seconds during the teach-in
setting, the settings made hitherto
are deleted.
The sensor can be reset to its fac-
tory setting.
