Ultrasonic Distance Sensor UFA-1500

Product catalog summary
Overview:
The document provides technical specifications, adjustments, and installation instructions for the UFA-1500 series ultrasonic distance and proximity sensors. These sensors are designed for a measurement range of 120 to 1500 mm and are available in standard and chemical-resistant versions.

Key Features:
  • Measurement range: 120 to 1500 mm
  • Teachable measurement range with a resolution of approximately 0.5 mm
  • Linearity less than 1% of full scale
  • Operating temperature: 0 to +60 °C
  • Protection class: IP67, waterproof and oil-resistant
  • Configurable sound cone size
  • Available in ATEX version for zone 2, zone 22

Technical Data:
The sensors are available in two main configurations: distance sensors and proximity sensors. They operate at an approximate frequency of 180 kHz and have a voltage supply range of 11 to 30 VDC. The sensors are equipped with a 4-pole M12 connector and are short circuit proof with a maximum load of 0.1 A.

Sound Cone Configuration:
The detection beam is cone-shaped, and its size can be adjusted based on the target's characteristics. The cone size can be programmed by connecting the teach input to the power supply for specific durations, with LED indicators showing the status.

Switching and Analog Output Settings:
Switching points and analog output limits can be set using the teach input. The process involves positioning the target and connecting the teach input to the voltage supply for a specified time, with LED indicators showing detection status.

Chemical-resistant Version:
The UFA-1500-M30-A-CH series is designed for chemically harsh environments, with housing made from PVDF and a PTFE-protected membrane. These sensors are suitable for level measurement in aggressive mediums.

Installation:
Sensors should be mounted flexibly to minimize acoustic interference. They can be installed using M4 screws or a G1 thread, with Viton O-rings for sealing.

Electrical Connection:
The sensors feature a 4-pole M12 connector, and cables should be ordered separately. The analog sensor automatically recognizes the connected load and emits the corresponding signal.

Order Code & Accessories:
The document lists various models and accessories, including cables and connectors, with specifications for each.

Warning:
The sensors should not be used as safety or emergency shut-off devices, as malfunctions could result in personal injury.

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor UFA-1500-3

In scanning mode the target reflects a portion of the ultrasound, which in turn is detected by the sensor. The switching points are set by attaching the voltage supply -Ub (0 V) or +Ub (+24 VDC) during 1 ...5 s to the Teach input. During the learn-in process a flashing LED indicates whether the sensor detects the target. • Yellow flashing LED: detected • Red flashing LED: not detected Retroflective mode uses a reflector in the background (max. 1.5 m from the sensor). Unlike optical sensors the reflector can be any material which is somewhat sound-reflecting. Retroflective mode is used in place...

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor UFA-1500-4

CHEMICAL-RESISTANT VERSION UFA-1500-M30-A-CH / -1P-CH • Based on the UFA-1500-M18 series • Resistant to most chemicals, e.g. acids and alkalis • Front of housing made from PVDF • Membrane protected with PTFE foil • For level measurement or -monitoring aggressive mediums Description: UFA-CH sensors are designed specifically for use in chemically harsh environments. The high resistance corresponds to that of PVDF, or of PTFE. One possible application is level metering acids and alkalis in small containers. The front exposed to the medium consists of PVDF.
