Product Usage Instructions

Initial Setup:
Press T1 and T2 simultaneously for about 3 seconds until the welcome message has passed.

Setting Analog Output:

• Press T1 to set the sensor-close window limit in mm or cm.
• Press T2 to set the sensor-distant window limit in mm or cm.

Choosing Output Characteristic Curve:
Press T1 + T2 to choose between rising or falling output characteristic curve.

Safety Notes:
Read the operating instructions before start-up. Connection, installation, and adjustment works should only be carried out by expert personnel.

Proper Use:
mic+ ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects.

Synchronization:
If using multiple sensors, ensure assembly distance meets specifications for synchronization.

Installation:
Refer to Fig. 2 for pin assignment and color coding of the microsonic connection cable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

• Q: What are the factory settings of mic+ sensors?
  A: The factory settings include a rising analogue characteristic and window limits for the analogue output.

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.
• All settings are done with two push buttons and a three-digit LED display (TouchControl).
• Three-colour LEDs indicate all operation conditions.
• Choosing between rising and falling output characteristics is possible.
• The sensors are adjustable manually via TouchControl or via the Teach-in procedure.
• Useful additional functions are set in the Add-on menu.
• Using the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) and the LinkControl software for Windows®, all Teach-in and additional sensor parameter settings can be optionally undertaken.

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.

Safety Notes

• Read the operating instructions before start-up.
• Connection, installation and adjustment works may only be carried out by expert personnel.
• No safety component by the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of personal and machine protection not permitted

Proper Use

mic+ ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects.

Synchronisation
If the assembly distance of multiple sensors falls below the values shown in Fig. 1 the integrated synchronisation should be used. Connect Sync/Com- channels (pin 5 at the units receptable) of all sensors (10 maximum).

Multiplex mode
The add-on menu allows to assign an individual address »01« to »10« to each sensor connected via the Sync/Com-channel (Pin5). The sensors perform the ultrasonic measurement sequentially from low to high address. Therefore any influence between the sensors is rejected. The address »00« is reserved to synchronisation mode and deactivates the multiplex mode. To use synchronised mode all sensors must be set to address »00«.

Installation

• Assemble the sensor at the installation location.
• Plug in the connector cable to the M12 connector, see Fig. 2.

Start-up

• Connect the power supply.
• Set the parameters of the sensor manually via TouchControl (see Fig. 3 and Diagram 1)
• or use the Teach-in procedure to adjust the detect points (see Diagram 2).

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
• Measurement range set to maximum range

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.
• If an object is within the set window limits of the analogue output, then LED D1 lights up green, if the object is outside the window limits, then LED D1 lights up red.
• The load put to the analogue output is detected automatically when turning supply voltage on.
• During normal operating mode, the measured distance value is displayed on the LED indicator in mm (up to 999 mm) or cm (from 100 cm). Scale switches automatically and is indicated by a point on top of the digits. Alternatively a percentage scale may be set in the add-on menu. In this connection 0 % and 100 % correspond to the set window limits of the analogue output.
• If no objects are placed within the detection zone the LED indicator shows »– – –«.
• The sensor can be set to its factory setting, see Diagram 3.
• If no push-buttons are pressed for 20 seconds during parameter setting mode the made changes are stored and the sensor returns to normal operating mode.

Show parameters

• In normal operating mode shortly push T1. The LED display shows »PAr.«

Each time you tap push-button T1 the actual settings of the analogue output are shown.
