Model Virtu Dual Level Series sensor family stays true application solution. Virtu™ ultrasonic sensor was developed by Hyde Park to fea- ture pump-in/pump-out function- Virtu's dual-mount body style, with its M18 x 1 threaded snout lar body for a total length of only 2.38", and tough VALOX® hous- ing make it not only ideal for many OEM applications but also cluding food and beverage. Available in cable or connector style, Virtu is the first sonic com- pact sensor to offer a dual mounting feature, lit operates on ther a sinking (NPN) or a sourc- ing (PNP) output. Virtu also has teach-in window capability, and sor 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% humid- ity, most acids and bases, and high pressure washdowns that of- ten leave water buildup on the sensing face. This sleek sensor fects of splashing food, caustic cleaning solutions, and changing light conditions or colors. Shield- ing and filtering make the fully encapsulated sensor resistant to radiated or conducted energy. The Dual Level VM series is a self-contained, pulse-echo, prox- imity sensing device that both transmits and receives sonic en- ergy within a 508 mm (20") maxi- mum sensing range. Operating croprocessor technology, Virtu sensors detect only those des- ignated objects within a set "win- 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.

Setting the Window Limits Before operating the sensor, you should teach the sensor the sensing window. The sensing window is the dis- tance between the near and far limits. To teach the limits, press and hold the push-button. The LED fast flashes amber and then after holding the push- button for 3 seconds, the LED slowly flashes green indicating the sensor is in teach mode. Release the push-but- ton, and the LED continues slowly flash- ing green indicating the sensor is wait- ing for the first limit. Place a target at either limit, and press and release the push-button.
