microsonic wms-25-RT-HV-M18 Ultrasonic Sensor
Product Information
The WMS Ultrasonic Sensor is a non-contact detection device used to detect objects. It comes in different models including the WMS-25/RT/HV/M18, WMS-35/RT, WMS-130/RT, WMS-340/RT, and WMS-600/RT. The operating range of the sensor depends on the type of reflector used and the nature of the object being detected. The sensor has a blind zone where distance measurement is not possibleThe product has a class of protection to EN 6052 IP67 and is made of the brass sleeve, nickel-plated housing, PBT plastic parts polyurethane foam ultrasonic transducer and epoxy resin with glass content.
Product Usage Instructions
- Read the operating manual carefully before using the WMS Ultrasonic Sensor.
- Only qualified personnel should carry out connection, installation, and adjustments.
- Do not use the product in areas where personal and machine protection is required.
- Use the sensor to detect objects without making contact.
- Connect the sensor to control and signal evaluation equipment according to Fig. 1 in the manual.
- Ensure that the pin assignment and color code of the connection cable are correct as shown in Fig. 1.
- The operating range of the sensor depends on the type of reflector used and the nature of the object being detected.
- Avoid using the sensor on objects that strongly absorb or diffusely reflect sound as this can reduce the defined operating range.
- Recommended measuring cycle time for each model is 8ms for WMS-25/RT/HV/M18, 12ms for WMS-35/RT, and 20ms for WMS-130/RT, WMS-340/RT, and WMS-600/RT.

Product Description
The wms sensors require a connection to the customer´s own control and signal evaluation equipment.
Safety Notes
- Read the operating manual prior to start-up.
- Connection, installation and adjustments may only be carried out by qualified staff.
- No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted.
The wms sensors indicate a blind zone, in which the distance cannot be measured. 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.
Proper Use
wms ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
- Mount the sensor at the place of fitting.
- Connect a connection cable to the M12 device plug.
- Connect the sensor to your own control and signal evaluation equipment according to Fig. 1.
Signal input »Transmitter«
A signal on the input makes the wms sensor emitting a sound pulse. For this a
open collector output has to earth the »transmitter« signal input for the time
given in the technical data table below.
Signal output »Echo«
The signal output »Echo« subsequently transmitts all echo signals received
depending on the duration as 1-bit values (echo yes/no).
