• Wide operating temperature range of –25 to +70 °C; all models include tempera­ture compensation

• Rugged design for use in demanding sensing environments; rated IEC IP67,
NEMA 6P

• Choose models with integral 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable, or with Mini-style or
Euro-style quick-disconnect fitting

• Input for remote TEACH-mode programming of window limits

Q45ULIU64BCR

Q45ULIU64BCRQ 5-Pin Mini-style QD

Q45ULIU64BCRQ6 5-Pin Euro-style QD

Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For
example, Q45ULIU64BCR W/30. Models with a QD connector require a mating cable.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its

use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de­energized sensor output condition.

Temperature Compensation

All models listed above feature temperature compensation. An increase in air temperature shifts both sensing window limits closer to the
sensor. Conversely, a decrease in air temperature shifts both limits further away from the sensor. The shift is approximately 3.5% of the
limit distance for a 20 °C change in temperature.

Temperature compensated models maintain the position of both sensing window limits to within 1% of each limit distance over the 0 to
+50 °C range, and to within 2.5% over the full operating range of from –25 to +70 °C.

Setting the Near and Far Sensing Limits

The Q45U features a single push button for programming of sensing window near and far limits. For more information, refer to Program-

ming the Window Limits on page 4.

Status Indicators

Status indicator LEDs are visible through the transparent, o-ring sealed acrylic top cover. Indicator function in the Run mode is, as fol­lows:

Q45U Ultrasonic Sensors with Analog Outputs (Long Range)

• The green LED is solid when power is applied to the sensor and flashes to indicate a current output fault.

• The red LED is solid when an echo is received and flashes at a rate proportional to echo strength.

• The amber LED is solid when the target is within the operating window limits.

The 5-segment moving dot LED indicator displays the relative position of the target within the programmed sensing window. LED #1
flashes when the target is closer than the near limit. LED #5 flashes when the target is beyond the far limit.

Output Response Settings

Important: Remove power before making any internal adjustments.

Using the two slots shown in Figure 1. Analog Q45U Features on page 2, a small flat-blade screwdriver may be used to lift up and
remove the black inner cover to expose the 4-position DIP switch. Use these DIP switches to program the output slope, output mode,
loss of echo, and min./max. output value default.

DIP Switch Function Settings

1 Output slope On = Output value increases with distance

Off* = Output value decreases with distance

2 Output mode On = Current output enabled

Off* = Voltage output enabled

3 Loss of echo On = Min - Max Mode

4 Min-Max On* = Default to maximum output value

Off* = Hold Mode

Off = Default to minimum output value

* Factory default setting.

Q45U Ultrasonic Sensors with Analog Outputs (Long Range)

DIP Switch 1: Output Slope Select

Figure 3. Output as a function of target position

On = Direct = Output value (voltage or current) increases with in­creasing distance of the target from the sensor

Off* = Inverse = Output value decreases with increasing distance
of the target from the sensor

DIP Switch 2: Output Mode Select

On = The 4 to 20 mA current output (white wire) is enabled

Off* = The 0 to 10V dc voltage output (black wire) is enabled

This switch configures the D/A driver to use either the current output or the voltage output driver. This output function can only be set with
the power to the sensor turned off.

DIP Switch 3: Loss of Echo Mode Select

On = Min - Max Mode

Off* = Hold Mode

This switch determines the output response to the loss of echo. The “Hold Mode” (Switch 3 Off*) maintains the output at the value
present at the time of echo loss. The “Min - Max Mode” (Switch 3 On) drives the output to either the minimum value (0V or 4 mA or the
maximum value (10V or 20 mA) when the echo is lost. Minimum or maximum value is selected by DIP switch 4.

DIP Switch 4: Min-Max Default

On* = Default to maximum output value at loss of echo

Off = Default to minimum output value at loss of echo

Switch 4 selects the output response to loss of echo when “Min - Max Mode” is selected by DIP switch 3.

Response Speed Adjustments

The speed of the output response is set using the single-turn potentiometer. There are six values for response speed, which relate direct­ly to the number of sensing cycles over which the output value is averaged. The response value is set by aligning the slot of the potenti­ometer with one of the marked positions.
