Operation
The Dual Level VM series is a
self-contained, pulse-echo, proximity
sensing device that both
transmits and receives sonic energy
within a 508 mm (20") maximum
sensing range. Operating
on 12 to 24 VDC, and employing
the latest piezoelectric and microprocessor
technology, Virtu
sensors detect only those designated
objects within a set “window”
and ignore all surrounding
sonic interference.
Prior to operation, a simple and
easy “teach” function is used to
set the sensing window limits
through either a remote or inline
cable push-button. A near and
far limit for a desired sensing
window can be set anywhere
within the sensing range and may
be set to either encompass the
full sensing range or be as small
as 6 mm (0.25").
When selecting by model number
from several factory-programmed,
dual-limit parameters
(near limit and far limit), the sensor
can be set up to perform an
on/off latch control function.
The sensor is equipped with a
two-color status LED to show the
state of the output. When the
The next generation of
the Virtu ultrasonic
sensor family stays true
to being a low-cost
application solution.
The newest edition of the
Virtu™ ultrasonic sensor was
developed by Hyde Park to feature
pump-in/pump-out functionality.
Virtu's dual-mount body style,
with its M18 x 1 threaded snout
0.89" long and a 1.49" rectangular
body for a total length of only
2.38", and tough VALOX® housing
make it not only ideal for
many OEM applications but also
an unfailing performer for an array
of packaging applications, including
food and beverage.
Available in cable or connector
style, Virtu is the first sonic compact
sensor to offer a dual
mounting feature. Iit operates on
12 to 24 VDC and provides either
a sinking (NPN) or a sourcing
(PNP) output. Virtu also has
teach-in window capability, and
no downtime is required for sensor
recalibration when colors,
materials, or shapes change.
With protection ratings of
NEMA 4X (indoor use only) and
IP67, this CE certified sensor is
resistant to dust, 100% humidity,
most acids and bases, and
high pressure washdowns that often
leave water buildup on the
sensing face. This sleek sensor
is virtually impervious to the efoutput
is active, the LED is amber,
regardless of whether the
output is normally open or closed.
When the output is not active, the
LED is green. The LED also
serves to show the sensing status
of the sensor. With a normally
open output and an object in the
sensing window, the LED will be
amber and switch to green when
the object leaves the sensing window,
switching off the output.
With a normally closed output
and an object in the sensing window,
the LED will be green and
switch to amber when the object
leaves the sensing window, switching
on the output.
