Description of the sensor functions
Remote potentiometer
The distance range of the through-beam ultrasonic barrier can be adjusted with the
potentiometer integrated in the emitter, or via a remote potentiometer connected to
the emitter.
The remote potentiometer simplifies the adjustment of the distance range if the sensors are installed in an inaccessible location. A 10 kΩ/0.3 W potentiometer serves
as the remote potentiometer. The connection is realised using the plug connector
pins 2 and 4 of the emitter (see: Electrical Connection).

Through-beam ultrasonic barrier UBE4000-30GM-SA2-V15
The following distance ranges can be set using the remote potentiometer:
Adjustment of the internal distance regulator
Minimum switching point 0 m ... 2 m
Maximum switching point 2 m ... 4 m
When operating without a remote potentiometer, the plug connector pins 2 and 4 must be bridged.
Adjustment
Turning the potentiometer on the emitter to the left (counterclockwise) causes a reduction of the transmission power. Thus, the
through-beam ultrasonic barrier becomes more sensitive.
Note: If no remote potentiometer is connected and the connector pins 2 and 4 are not bridged, the emitter always operates at
maximum transmission power. The through-beam ultrasonic barrier then has the lowest sensitivity. Turning the transmitter side
potentiometer won’t have an effect, then.
Alignment
When adjusting the emitter and receiver, take care to align them as precisely as possible.
Angular tolerance: α < ± 2°
maximum offset: s < ± 5 mm
A through-beam ultrasonic barrier consists of a single emitter and a single receiver.
Caution
Mount or replace emitter and receiver only in pairs. Both devices are optimally matched to each other by the manufacturer.
Distance range adjustable via remote potentiometer
