Product description
- The mic-sensor with one analogue output measures the distance to an object within the detection zone contactless. A signal proportional to distance is created according to the adjusted window limits of the analogue characteristic curve.
- The sensor automatically detects the load put to the analogue output and switches to current output or voltage output respectively.
- Choosing between rising and falling output characteristic is possible.
- The sensors are adjustable using Teach-in processes via the Comchannel (Pin 5).
- Using the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) all sensor parameter settings can be adjusted by a Windows® Software.
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, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted
The mic-sensors have a blind zone in which distance measurement is not possible. 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.
Installation
Assemble the sensor at the installation location.
Plug in the connector cable to the M12 connector, see Fig. 1.

Start-up
Connect the power supply.
Set sensor parameters via the Teach-in procedure (see Diagram 1)
Factory setting
mic-sensors are delivered factory made with the following settings:
- Rising analogue characteristic
- Window limits for the analogue output set to blind zone and operating range
- Maximum detection range set to maximum range
Synchronisation
If the assembly distances shown in Fig. 2 for two or more sensors are exceeded the integrated synchronisation should be used. Connect Com-channels (pin 5 at the units receptable) of all sensors (10 maximum).

Maintenance
mic-sensors work maintenance free. Small amounts of dirt on the surface do not influence function. Thick layers of dirt and caked-on dirt affect sensor function and therefore must be removed.
Notes
- mic-sensors have internal temperature compensation. Because the sensors heat up on their own, the temperature compensation reaches its optimum working point after approx. 30 minutes of operation.
- The load put to the analogue output is detected automatically when turning supply voltage on.
- If no signal is detected for 20 seconds during teach-in procedure the made changes are stored and the sensor returns to normal mode operation.
- You can reset the factory settings at any time, see Diagram 1.

for different objects:
The dark grey areas represent the zone where it is easy to recognise the
normal reflector (round bar). This indicates the typical operating range of
the sensors. The light grey areas represent the zone where a very large
reflector – for instance a plate – can still be recognised. The requirement
here is for an optimum alignment to the sensor. It is not possible to evaluate
ultrasonic reflections outside this area.
