Description of Sensor Functions

Programming procedure
The sensor features a programmable switch output with two programmable switch points. Programming the switch points and the operating mode
is done by applying the supply voltage -UB or +UB to the Teach-In input. The supply voltage must be applied to the Teach-In input for at least 1
s. LEDs indicate whether the sensor has recognized the target during the programming procedure.
Note:
Switching points may only be specified directly after Power on. A time lock secures the adjusted switching points against unintended modification
5 minutes after Power on. To modify the switching points later, the user may specify the desired values only after a new Power On.
Note:
If a programming adapter UB-PROG2 is used for the programming procedure, button A1 is assigned to -UB and button A2 is assigned to +UB.
Programming of the switch output
Window Modes
Normally open (NO) output
1. Place the target at the near end of the desired switch window
2. Program the window boundary by applying -UB to the Teach-In input (yellow LED flashes)
3. Disconnect the Teach-In input from -UB to save the switch point
4. Place the target at the far end of the desired switch window
5. Program the window boundary by applying +UB to the Teach-In input (yellow LED flashes)
6. Disconnect the Teach-In input from +UB to save the switch point
Normally closed (NC) output
1. Place the target at the near end of the desired switch window
2. Program the window boundary by applying +UB to the Teach-In input (yellow LED flashes)
3. Disconnect the Teach-In input from +UB to save the switch point

 Ultrasonic sensor UB500-18GM75-E5-V15

Adjusting the sound cone characteristics:

The ultrasonic sensor enables two different shapes of the sound cone, a wide angle sound cone and a small angle sound cone.

1. Small angle sound cone

• switch off the power supply
• connect the Teach-In input wire to -UB
• switch on the power supply
• the red LED flashes once with a pause before the next.
• yellow LED: permanently on: indicates the presence of an object or disturbing object within the sens-
pause

ing range
• disconnect the Teach-In input wire from -UB and the changing is saved

2. Wide angle sound cone

• switch off the power supply
• connect the Teach-In input wire with +UB
• switch on the power supply
• the red LED double-flashes with a long pause before the next.
• yellow LED: permanently on: indicates an object or disturbing object within the sensing range
pause

• disconnect the Teach-In input wire from +UB and the changing is saved

Factory settings
See technical data.

Display
The sensor provides LEDs to indicate various conditions.
Red LED Yellow LED
During Normal operation
Proper operation Off Switching state
Interference (e.g. compressed air) On remains in previous state
During sensor programming
Object detected Off Flashes
No object detected Flashes Off
Object uncertain (programming invalid) On Off

Synchronization
This sensor features a synchronization input for suppressing ultrasonic mutual interference ("cross talk"). If this input is not connected, the sensor
will operate using internally generated clock pulses. It can be synchronized by applying an external square wave. The pulse duration must be ≥
100 µs. Each falling edge of the synchronization pulse triggers transmission of a single ultrasonic pulse. If the synchronization signal remains low
for ≥ 1 second, the sensor will revert to normal operating mode. Normal operating mode can also be activated by opening the signal connection
to the synchronization input (see note below).
If the synchronization input goes to a high level for > 1 second, the sensor will switch to standby mode. In this mode, the outputs will remain in the
last valid output state.
Note:
If the option for synchronization is not used, the synchronization input has to be connected to ground (0 V) or the sensor must be operated via a
V1 cordset (4-pin).
The synchronization function cannot be activated during programming mode and vice versa.
The following synchronization modes are possible:
1. Several sensors (max. number see technical data) can be synchronized together by interconnecting their respective synchronization inputs.
In this case, each sensor alternately transmits ultrasonic pulses in a self multiplexing mode. No two sensors will transmit pulses at the same
time (see note below).
2. Multiple sensors can be controlled by the same external synchronization signal. In this mode the sensors are triggered in parallel and are syn-
chronized by a common external synchronization pulse.
3. A separate synchronization pulse can be sent to each individual sensor. In this mode the sensors operate in external multiplex mode (see note
below).
Date of issue: 2015-03-31 133053_eng.xml

4. A high level (+UB) on the synchronization input switches the sensor to standby mode.
Note:
Sensor response times will increase proportionally to the number of sensors that are in the synchronization string. This is a result of the multiplex-
ing of the ultrasonic transmit and receive signal and the resulting increase in the measurement cycle time.

Installation conditions
If the sensor is installed at places, where the environment temperature can fall below 0 °C, for the sensors fixation, one of the mounting flanges
BF18, BF18-F or BF 5-30 must be used.
In case of direct mounting of the sensor in a through hole using the steel nuts, it has to be fixed at the middle of the housing thread. If a fixation at
the front end of the threaded housing is required, plastic nuts with centering ring (accessories) must be used.
