Product Usage Instructions
Setting Up the Sensor
- Press T1 and T2 simultaneously for about 3 seconds until the welcome message has passed.
- Set the switching output T1 as needed.
- Adjust the detect distance in mm or cm using the appropriate buttons.
Switching Output Configuration
For single switching mode, refer to the displayed instructions.
For window mode operation, set the far switching point in mm or cm.
Safety Notes
Read the operating instructions thoroughly before starting.
Connection, installation, and adjustment works should be carried out by expert
personnel. Ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Proper Use
The mic+ ultrasonic sensors are designed for non-contact detection of objects. Use them as per the specified guidelines.
Synchronization
If using multiple sensors with assembly distance below-specified values, use integrated synchronization. Connect Sync/Com channels of all sensors for proper functionality.
FAQ
Q: What is the factory setting for mic+ sensors?
A: The factory setting includes switching output on NOC, detecting distance at operating range, and measurement range set to maximum range.
Product description
- The mic+ sensor with one switching output measures the distance to an object within the detection zone contactless. Depending on the adjusted detect distance the switching output is set.
- All settings are done with two push-buttons and a three-digit LED-display (TouchControl).
- Three-colour LEDs indicate the switching status.
- The output functions are changeable from NOC to NCC.
- The sensors are adjustable manually via TouchControl or via Teach-in procedure.
- Useful additional functions are set in the Add-on-menu.
- Using the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) all TouchControl and additional sensor parameter settings can be adjusted by a Windows® Software.
IO-Link
The mic+ sensors are IO-Link-capable in accordance with IO-Link specification
V1.1 and support Smart Sensor Profile like Digital Measuring Sensor.
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 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
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:
- Switching output on NOC
- Detecting distance at 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.
- During normal operating mode, a yellow LED D2 signals that the switching output has connected.
- 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.
- During Teach-in mode, the hysteresis loops are set back to factory settings.
- If no objects are placed within the detection zone the LED-indicator shows »– – –«.
- 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.
- The sensor can be reset to its factory setting, see »Key lock and factory setting«, Diagram 3.

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.
