Specifications
- Product: Ultrasonic proximity switch with one switching output and IO-Link
- Models: nano-15/CF, nano-24/CF
- Measurement Range: nano-15/CF: 150 mm, nano-24/CF: 250 mm
- IO-Link Capable: Yes, in accordance with IO-Link specification V1.1
- Operating Modes: Switching point operation, Window mode, Two-way reflective barrier
Product Description
The nano sensor offers non-contact measurement of the distance to an object
within its detection zone. The switching output is set based on the adjusted
detect distance. The sensor i IO-Link-capable, allowing for monitoring and
parameterization via IO-Link.
Safety Notes
Read the operation manual before start-up. Connection, installation, and
adjustment should be done by expert personnel only. Use in the area of
personal and machine protection is not permitted.
Proper Use
nano ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects.
Start-up
Use the Teach-in procedure for start-up, refer to Diagram 1 in the manual.
Operating Modes
Three operating modes are available for the switching output: Switching point
operation, Window mode, and Two-way reflective barrier.
Maintenance
The sensors are maintenance-free; however, in case of excess dirt, clean the
white sensor surface.
FAQ
Q: How do I set the detect distance and operating mode?
A: You can adjust the detect distance and operating mode using the Teach-in
procedure described in the manual.
Q: Can the sensor be monitored and parameterized remotely?
A: Yes, the sensor is IO-Link-capable, allowing for monitoring and
parameterization via IO-Link. Refer to the sensor’s IO-Link data sheet for
detailed information.
Operation Manual
Ultrasonic proximity switch with one switching output and IO-Link
nano-15/CF
nano-24/CF
Product Description
The nano sensor offer a non-contact measurement of the distance to an object which must be positioned within the sensor’s detection zone. The switching output is set conditional upon the adjusted detect distance. Through the teach-in procedure, the detection distance and operating mode can be adjusted.
IO-Link
The nanosensor is IO-Link-capable in accordance with IO-Link specification
V1.1 and supports Smart Sensor Pro-file like Digital Measuring Sensor. The
sensor can be monitored and parameterized via IO-Link. Detailed information on
parameterization via IO-Link can be found in the sensor‘s IO-Link data sheet
at microsonic.de/en/nano.
Safety Notes
- Read the operation manual prior to start-up.
- Connection, installation and ad justment works should be carried out by expert personnel only.
- No safety component in accordance with the EU Machine Directive, use in the area of per-sonal and machine protection not permitted
Proper Use
nano ultrasonic sensors are used for non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
- Mount the sensor at the installation site.
- Connect a connection cable to the M12 device plug, see Fig. 1.
- If necessary, use the alignment assistance (see »Using the Alignment Assistance«).
Start-up
- Connect the power supply.
- Set the parameters of the sensor by using the Teach-in procedure, see Diagram 1.
Factory Settings
nano sensors are delivered factory made with the following settings:
- Switching point operation.
- Switching output on NOC.
Detect distance:
- nano-15/CF: 150 mm
- nano-24/CF: 250 mm
- Filter at F01
- Filter strength at P00
Operating Modes
Three operating modes are available for the switching output:
-
Operation with one switching point
The switching output is set when the object falls below the set switching point. -
Window mode
The switching output is set when the object is within the set window limits. -
Two-way reflective barrier
The switching output is set when the object is between sensor and fixed reflector.
Synchronization
If the assembly distance of multiple sensors falls below the values shown in Fig. 2, internal synchronization should be used (»Teach-in + sync« must be switched on, see Diagram 1). For this purpose set the switching outputs of all sensors in accordance with Diagram 1. Finally interconnect each pin 2 of the sensors to be synchronized.
Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-free. In case of excess caked-on dirt we recommend cleaning the white sensor surface.

Technical Data
Using the Alignment Assistance
With the internal alignment assistance the sensor can be optimally aligned to the object during installation. To do this, proceed as follows (see Fig. 3):
- Mount the sensor loosely at the place of mounting so that it can still be moved.
- Connect Com to +UB shortly. The green LED flashes. The faster the LED flashes, the stronger the received signal.
- Point the sensor at different angles to the object for about 10 seconds so that the sensor can determine the maximum signal level. Align the sensor until the green LED shines constantly.
- Screw the sensor in this position.
- Connect Com to +UB shortly (or wait approx. 120 s) to exit the alignment assistance. The yellow LED flashes 2x.
Notes
- Pin 2 (Com) of the sensor may only be connected during Teach-in procedure or for synchronization.
- The sensors of the nano family have a blind zone. Within this zone a distance measurement is not possible.
- The nano sensors are equipped with an internal temperature compensation. Due to the sensors self-heating, the temperature compensation reaches its optimal working point after approx. 45 seconds of operation.
- The nanosensors have a push-pull switching output.
- In the normal operating mode, an illuminated yellow LED signals that the status of the switching output is high. If the green LED flashes, the sensor is in IO-Link mode.
- In the »Two-way reflective barrier« operating mode, the object has to be within the range of 0 to 92 % of the set distance
- In the »Set switching point – method A« Teach-in procedure the actual distance to the object is taught to the sensor as the switching point. If the object moves towards the sensor (e.g. with level control) then the taught distance is the level at which the sensor has to switch the output, see Fig. 4.
- If the object to be scanned moves into the detection zone from the side, the »Set switching point +8 % – method B« Teach-in procedure should be used. In this way the switching distance is set 8 % further than the actual measured distance to the object. This ensures a reliable switching distance even if the height of the objects varies slightly, see Fig. 4.
- Using the LinkControl adapter LCA-2 (optional accessory) and the LinkControl software for Windows®, all Teach-in and additional sensor parameter settings can be optionally adjusted. To connect the nanosensor to the LCA-2 adapter the 5G/M12-4G/M12/M8 adapter is required.
- The sensor can be reset to its factory setting (see Diagram 1).
- The nano sensor can be blocked against changes in the sensor via function »Switch on or off Teach-in + sync«, see Diagram 1.
