Q45UR Series Ultrasonic Sensor Models

*NOTES:

• 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., Q45UR3LIU64CK W/30).

• A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see page 9.

Programming the Sensing Window Limits

The Q45UR controller features a single push button for
programming the sensing window limits (Figure 1). The
window limits may be set in one of two ways:
programming two independent window limits, or defining a
sensing distance set point, which will be centered
automatically within a 5-mm window (specific steps are
described on page 5).

Independent Window Limits: The target is placed at the
desired position to set the first limit, then the second limit
is set using the same procedure. In order to set two
independent limits, the window must at least 5 mm.

Sensing Distance Set Point: The sensor is taught the same
set point for both window limits. The set point is
automatically centered within a 5-mm (0.2") window.

See page 5 for detailed programming instructions.

Status Indicators

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

• The green LED is ON steadily whenever power is
applied to the sensor, and flashes to indicate a
current output fault.

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

• The yellow LED lights whenever 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.
The #1 LED flashes when the target is closer than the near
limit. The #5 LED flashes when the target is beyond the far limit.

IMPORTANT: Remove power before making any internal adjustments.

Using the two slots shown in Figure 1, a small flat-blade screwdriver may be used to
lift up and remove the black inner cover to expose the 4-position DIP switch (Figure 2).

Those switches are used to program the following functions:

Switch Function

Output Slope

Settings

2

Output Mode

ON = Current output enabled
OFF*= Voltage output enabled

3

Loss of Echo

ON = Min - Max Mode
OFF*= Hold Mode

4

Min - Max

ON* = Default to maximum output value
OFF = Default to minimum output value

ON = Output value increases with distance
OFF*= Output value decreases with distance

Explanation of Programmable Output Functions:

Switch 1: Output Slope Select

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

Switch 2: Output Mode Select

ON = The 4 to 20mA 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.

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 which was present at the time of
echo loss. The “Min - Max Mode” (Switch 3 On) drives the output to either the
minimum value (0V or 4mA or the maximum value (10V or 20mA) when the echo is
lost. Minimum or maximum value is selected by Switch 4.

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 Switch 3 (see above).

Response Speed Adjustment

The speed of the output response is set using the single-turn potentiometer (see Figures
1 and 4). There are six values for response speed, which relate directly to the number of
sensing cycles over which the output value is averaged (see the Response Speed
Settings table, below). The response value is set by aligning the slot of the
potentiometer with one of the marked positions. The positions are identified in Figure 4.

Figure 4. Response adjustment positions

Window Limit Programming

Either the “Limits” push button (located under the transparent top cover) or the
Remote TEACH wire may be used to program the near and the far limits. The near
limit may be set as close as 50 mm (2") and the far limit may be set as far as 250 mm
(10") from the transducer face. Minimum window width is 5 mm (0.2"). Whenever
possible, use the actual target to be sensed when setting the window limits. The
following procedure begins with the sensor in RUN mode.
