Function
A through-beam ultrasonic barrier always consists of a single emitter and a single
receiver. The function of a through-beam ultrasonic barrier is based in the interruption of the sound transmission to the receiver by the object to be detected.
The emitter sends an ultrasonic signal that is evaluated by the receiver. If the signal
is interrupted or muted by the object to be detected, the receiver switches.
No electrical connections are required between the emitter and receiver.
The function of through-beam ultrasonic barriers is not dependent on the position of

their installation. We recommend, however, to install the emitter below in the case of vertical installations to prevent the accumulation of dust particles.
Startup and parameterising
For easy alignment of emitter and receiver towards each other, the receiver is equipped with an alignment aid. To activate the
alignment aid, the TEACH-Input of the receiver (pin 2) has to be connected to ground (-U
LED indicates the strength of the received ultrasonic signal. The better the alignment, the stronger the signal.
LED yellow, flashing frequency Description
slowly (appr. 1.5 Hz) no signal
medium (appr. 3 Hz) weak signal
fast (appr. 9 Hz) strong signal
Simultaneously the ultrasonic barrier evaluates the signal strength of the unobstructed signal path and generates the optimal
switching threshold. When disconnecting the TEACH-input from -U
, this threshold is stored non-volatile in the receivers me-

mory. In case of clear ultrasonic path (no object), only the receivers green LED is on.
TEACH-In of very small objects/obstacles
Like shown in the curve "obstacle size", the ultrasonic barrier offers the possibility to detect very small objects at a distance of
more than 300 mm.
- place the object to be detected in the desired distance inside the ultrasonic path
- connect TEACH-input of the receiver to +U
(yellow LED flashes slowly)
B
- disconnect TEACH-input
In case of successful TEACH-IN (object is detected reliable), the yellow LED is on and the taught detection threshold is stored
non-volatile to the receivers memory.
In case of unsuccessful TEACH-IN (object too small or too porous for ultrasonic sound),the red LED flashes 5 times and the
ultrasonic barrier continues normal operation with unmodified detection threshold value.
Test function
For test purpose, the ultrasonic emitter is equipped with a test input. In normal operation mode (test input not connected or connected to -U
), the green LED of the emitter is on. If the test input is connected to +UB , the ultrasonic emitter gets deactivated
