ToughSonic 3 Data Sheet

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and features of the ToughSonic 3 Level & Distance Sensor, specifically the TSPC-30S2 Series. This sensor is designed for non-contact ultrasonic distance and level measurement, offering flexibility and ease of use with SenixVIEW software and push-button setup.
Specifications: The sensor operates within a range of 1.75 inches to 3 feet (4.5 - 91 cm) and is housed in a 30 mm IP68 rated threaded casing. It features a short dead band of 1.75 inches and is unaffected by optical factors such as color and transparency. The sensor is temperature compensated and has a ruggedized piezoelectric transducer.
Outputs: The sensor provides both voltage (0-10 VDC) and current loop (4-20 mA) outputs, which are configurable and can be set to rise or fall with increasing distance. It also offers switch outputs that can be configured as either "PNP" or "NPN" type. The outputs are selectable via SenixVIEW software or push-button setup.
Features: The sensor includes a narrow beam width for close-up versatility, multi-sensor synchronization, and adjustable sensitivity. It is housed in a durable, sealed casing suitable for wet or dirty environments. The sensor supports RS-232 and RS-485 serial data interfaces, with Modbus protocol for communication.
Applications: The sensor is suitable for applications requiring non-contact measurement, such as pump or material flow controllers. It eliminates the need for additional components like PLCs and delay circuits, offering cost savings and simplified solutions.
Model Variants: The document lists several model numbers, each with different interface options, including analog, switch, and serial data interfaces. Models with an "A" suffix are data communications only, lacking analog and switch circuits.
Additional Information: The sensor is not recommended for use with hazardous or explosive materials or as a primary device for personal safety. It comes with a standard cable and mounting accessories, and its configuration is stored in non-volatile memory.

ToughSonic 3 Data Sheet-1

Windows PC or Button Setup, Waterproof, Multiple Outputs tspc-30S2 Series Close-in & Narrow Beam Non-Contact Ultrasonic Distance & Level Measurement sensors and SrC SenixVIEWsoftware put the power of ultrasonics in your hands yet retain the simplicity of push-button TEACH setup. You can quickly adjust, optimize, save and clone your applications without calibration! Built rugged as with all ToughSonic sensors, the ToughSonic 3 is designed to address close up and shorter working distance requirements. Narrow beam width and shortened minimum range gives close-up versatility. Digital and analog outputs respond to measured distance. Non-contact technology means nothing touches your materials. SenixVIEW PC Software included! Output Selection Distance Measurements • Short 1.75 inch dead band • Unaffected by optical factors like color and transparency • PC or button "teachable” setup • Narrow beam with adjustments to optimize performance • Temperature compensated Packaging & Performance • Quick mounting • Durable sealed housing for wet or dirty applications • Short & overload protected I/O • Multi-sensor synchronization • Adjustable sensitivity • Rear status indicators (3) Free Functionality using adjustable interface features like switch hysteresis and time delays to build complete solutions such as pump or material flow controllers. Save cost by eliminating PLCs, delay circuits and time delay relays! Use SenixVIEW software (see separate data sheet) to select and adjust all interfaces, timing parameters, filters and modes. Then view, analyze or log data to optimize your application. Flexible configuration means fewer parts to stock and quick duplication! Higher volume OEM options are available. Push-button "teach" features provide for several common adjustments when a PC is not available. In addition to the model's serial data interface there are two SenixVIEW selected outputs to suit your application. All outputs have configurable endpoints, setpoints, event responses and time delays. Voltage & Current Loop are both provided simultaneously in standard (0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA) or custom ranges. They are fully configurable and can either rise or fall with increasing distance. Switches can be selected in lieu of one or both analogs, and set to either "PNP" or "NPN" type (sourcing or sinking). Each has independently adjustable set point, hysteresis, window, initial conditions, ON delay, OFF delay and loss of target response for ultimate flexibility. rouGHSomr Tough. Smart.
