nano M12 ultrasonic sensor

Product catalog summary
Overview: The nano ultrasonic sensors by microsonic GmbH are compact, high-performance sensors designed for precise distance measurement and object detection. They are the shortest M12 ultrasonic sensors available, with a length of just 55 mm including the plug.
Key Features:
  • Ultrasonic sensor in M12 threaded sleeve with a total length of 55 mm.
  • IO-Link interface for enhanced device communication and Smart Sensor Profile for transparency.
  • Improved temperature compensation, reaching operational stability within 45 seconds.
  • UL Listed for Canadian and US safety standards.
  • Push-Pull switching output with pnp or npn basis, and analogue output options (4–20 mA or 0–10 V).
  • Two detection ranges with measurement capabilities from 20 mm to 350 mm.
  • Resolution of 0.069 mm and operating voltage range of 10–30 V.
Technical Specifications:
  • Operating voltage: 10 - 30 V DC with reverse polarity protection.
  • Voltage ripple: ± 10%.
  • No-load current consumption: ≤ 30 mA.
  • Connection type: 4-pin M12 initiator plug.
  • Protection class: IP 67.
  • Operating temperature: -25°C to +70°C; Storage temperature: -40°C to +85°C.
  • Weight: 15 g.
Operating Modes:
  • Teach-in of single switching point, two-way reflective barrier, and window mode.
  • Analogue characteristic or window with two switching points can be set via pin 2.
  • LED indicators for operational status and object detection.
Models and Variants:
  • nano-15/CI and nano-24/CI: Analogue outputs with narrow sound field, UL Listed, and echo propagation time measurement.
  • nano-15/CU and nano-24/CU: Similar specifications with 0-10 V analogue output.
  • nano-15/CF and nano-24/CF: Push-Pull outputs with IO-Link version 1.1, Smart Sensor Profile, and reflective mode capabilities.
Accessories:
  • Available accessories include KST4A-2/M12, KST4A-5/M12, KST4G-2/M12, KST4G-5/M12, and LCA-2 with LinkControl.

nano M12 ultrasonic sensor-3

With a housing length of only 55 mm nano sensors with switching outputs are the smallest ultrasonic sensors inside the M12 threaded sleeve on the market. Analogue sensors are 60 mm long. nano has a 4-pole M12 circular plug and are taught via pin 2. The temperature compensation of the sensors profits from a significant improvement. The sensors reach their operating point only 45 seconds after activation of the operating voltage. We now compensate for the influence of self-heating and installation conditions. This brings improved precision shortly after activation of the supply voltage and in running...

To set a window with two switching points  Place object to the sensor-close window limit (1). Apply +UB to pin 2 for about 3 seconds until both LEDs flash. Then move the object to the sensor-distant window limit (2). Then apply +UB to pin 2 again for about 1 second. Teach-in of an analogue characteristic or a window with two switching points For setting an analogue output  initially position the object to be detected on the sensor-close window limit (1). Apply +UB to pin 2 for about 3 seconds until both LEDs flash. Move the object to the sensor-distant window limit (2). Then apply +UB to pin...
