Description The miniature sensor housing of the zws-15 has dimensions of 20 mm x 32 mm x 12 mm. The housing’s design and mounting is compatible with many optical sensors. This facilitates the conversion to ultrasonic sensors for critical applications. For the zws sensor range 2 output versions and 6 detection ranges are available: 1 switching output, optionally in pnp or npn circuitry The Teach-in button on the top facilitates the convenient setting of the sensor. Two LEDs in the sensor housing’s upper half indicate the switching output and respectively the analogue output states. The temperature...

Teach-in of a switching point Method A and Method B The operating mode single switching point +8 % (Method B) is recommended by objects, which move into the detection area from the side. In this case 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. NEW! Twin mode or external synchronisation If two switching zws sensors are operating too close to one another, twin mode can be selected to avoid mutual influences. This new feature is integrated in zws sensors from...

At a maximum detection range of 100 mm, the zws-7 can achieve a switching frequency of 250 Hz. This allows both detection of objects with a high counting frequency and extremely narrow gaps between two objects at fast machinery speeds. The zws-7 responds under 3 ms ms. Additionally fitting the new SoundPipe zws1 (Accessories) to the zws-7 markedly raises the power to detect narrow gaps between two objects at high machine speeds. Fast zws-7 - Fast zws-7/-15 with SoundPipe The zws-7, with a 250 Hz switching frequency, is particularly suitable for counting tasks at high machine speeds. Technical...

The zws sensors with switching output have three operating modes:  Single switching point (Method A and B) Two-way reflective barrier Window mode Teach-in of a single switching point (Method A) by positioning the object to be detected within the desired distance (1) to the sensor, pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 1 second. Ready. Teach-in of a switching point (Method A) Teach-in of a single switching point +8 % (Method B) by positioning the object to be detected within the desired distance (1) to the sensor, pressing the button for approx. 3...

Teach-in of a two-way reflective barrier Set the analogue output by initially positioning the object to be detected on the sensor-close window limit (1), pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds, shifting the object to the sensor-distant window limit (2) and pressing the button once more for approx. 1 second. Ready. Teach-in of an analogue characteristic or of a window with two switching points To set a window with two detection points on a single switching output, the procedure is the same as setting the analogue. NCC/NOC and rising/falling analogue characteristic curve can also be set using...

thus allowing measurements to be taken in drill holes and openings with diameters under 5 mm mm. Measurement can be carried out directly before the sound exit opening, since the blind zone is inside the SoundPipe. The SoundPipe zws1 is attached to the front of the zws-15 or zws-7 sensor. A typical field of application is measuring levels in microplate wells which are used in medical analysis technology. The SoundPipe zws1 can be directly placed over the opening; this makes exact positioning that much easier. The attachment can also be used in scanning gaps of only a few millimetres in width between...
