3Device overview
The ultrasonic double sheet testing system consists of a VDB 12 B… analysis amplifier and
a pair of DB 18 UP ultrasonic sensors.
It detects and checks primarily paper, plastic and metal foils which are guided in by feeders.
The device functions as a presence monitor by constantly applying a signal at the singlesheet output when an object is located between the sensors. It functions as a double sheet
testing unit by comparing each sheet with the stored reference value. A detected double
sheet is signalled at the double sheet output.

5Mounting the transmitter and receiver
The transmitter and receiver (DB 18 UP) are identical in construction and are to be mounted
according to the table in figure 5.1 at an angle which varies depending on the sheet material.
A larger angle of inclination increases the flutter range; e.g. with a 35° pitch, flutter is permissible within 50% of the measurement field. The distance between transmitter and receiver
must be at least 20mm and can be max. 60mm.
Ensure that alignment is exact (± 1°). If the alignment does not run along the axis, the
working range is reduced.
Notice!
When aligning the transmitter and receiver, take care to ensure the most exact alignment
possible. See "Alignment mode" on page 10. To ensure proper function, the sensors must
be inclined by the angle "B" towards the vertical.

Notice!
If the indicators flash during the initial commissioning, a calibration must first be performed
on a single sheet.
First apply operating voltage. An alignment mode is available for commissioning. This can
be used to check the alignment of the transmitter and receiver.

Calibrating on the material to be detected
For reliable detection of double layers of the medium being processed, it is always necessary to perform a calibration on a single sheet of the medium.
Calibration of the material to be detected can be performed by either pressing the TEACH IN
button on the analysis amplifier for 0.3s to 5s or by means of a control command at the
Teach IN input (pin 5).

Commissioning
During the calibration process, LED illuminates yellow.
If the calibration was successful, LED illuminates green and LEDs and yellow.
The single sheet and ready outputs are activated. The reference value remains stored until
the next calibration process.
If the calibration process was not successful, LED flashes red and LEDs and
illuminate red. The double sheet and TRIGGER OUT outputs (double sheet triggered) are
activated.
Notice!
Causes of unsuccessful calibration include e.g.:
• More than 1 sheet between the sensors.
• Unsuitable sheet material, e.g. due to lamination or coating, too thin, too thick, or air
pockets present.
• Pitch to sensors too low.
For devices VDB 12 B/6.1N and VDB 12 B/6.1P with trigger input Trigger IN (pin 6), it is
recommended that the device be configured in such a way that, for Trigger IN, the threshold
signals be adapted so that the amplifier always operates in the optimum range (1., standard
mode). This mode is especially recommended when the material consistency changes
during operation (moisture, density, …).
The VDB 12 B analysis amplifier can be operated in 3 different operating modes (teach
modes):
1.Standard mode:
Teach with intelligent transmitter/receiver control for covering a wide spectrum of
materials. Automatic signal adaptation (averaging) during operation for VDB 12 B/
6.1….
2.Automatic teach:
300ms after sheet detection by the ultrasonic sensors, teach-in occurs automatically.
In this operating mode, manual or external teaching is not necessary. Automatic signal adaptation (averaging) possible during operation for VDB 12 B/6.1…. Another
automatic teach-in is carried out when the ultrasonic path is clear for more than 2s.
3.Fixed switching threshold:
This operating mode is recommended when the process does not permit manual or
external teaching. In this operating mode, the variety of materials to be detected is
limited.

Adapting the averaging calculation (VDB 12 B/6.1… only)
For device variants VDB 12 B/6.1… with trigger input, it is possible to adapt the signals
during running control operation (operating mode 1, standard mode).
Signal adaptation is performed by averaging measurement values which are detected at the
respective Trigger IN. A lower value, e.g. 4, means that an average value is calculated from
4 trigger IN measurement values; a higher value, e.g. 128, means that an average value is
calculated from 128 trigger-in measurement values. Signal adaptation occurs every time the
set number of trigger pulses is reached.
Signal adaptation (averaging) is also possible in operating mode 2, automatic teach.
Attention!
After changing the averaging, recalibration must be performed!

Operation - inputs and outputs
8Operation - inputs and outputs
The evaluation unit VDB 12 B/6P or VDB 12 B/6N continuously signals the situation occurring between the sensors to two outputs.
The single sheetoutput (pin 2) is activated as long as one or more sheets are located in
the measurement field.
The double sheetoutput (pin 4) is activated as long as two or more sheets are located in
the measurement field.
Notice!
For reliable operation, it is essential that calibration be performed on the material to be
detected. See "Calibrating on the material to be detected" on page 10.
Also available on the VDB 12 B/6.1… evaluation units are a Trigger IN query input, a
Trigger OUT double sheet output stored at the query time, as well as a ready output.
If a double sheet is detected on the ascending edge (VDB 12 B/6.1P) or on the falling edge
(VDB 12 B/6.1N) of the query, the Trigger OUT output is set. This remains set until the ultrasonic path is cleared.
The ready output is set if the receiving level is sufficient when operating voltage is supplied.
It remains set until the next calibration, provided a calibration has already been successfully
completed.
The reference value remains stored even after a voltage interruption.

Application-specific extension types
10Application-specific extension types
The amplifier types described below are used for the adaptation to specific applications.
They are used instead of the standard amplifier types.
10.1VDB 12 B/6.10P - Detection of splices on blister material
This amplifier corresponds to the VDB 12B/6P with regard to the technical and electrical
data. The software is adapted for splice detection on plastic rolls (blister material). That is,
the system is more sensitive for the detection of two layers (splices). This does however
require the reduction of the flutter range to a maximum of 2mm.
The function of the push-pull switching outputs is inverted. That is, the PNP outputs for
single and double sheets are activated if there is no material between the sensors.
After applying the supply voltage, the check of operational readiness is deactivated because
at switching on, material may be present between the sensors in the application.

10.2VDB 12 B/6.11N - Automatic teach on first sheet
This amplifier corresponds to the VDB 12B/6N with regard to the technical and electrical
data. At delivery, the amplifier is preconfigured to the operating mode "automatic teach on
first sheet".
This customer-specific configuration features what is called FAST TEACH-IN in the "automatic teach on first sheet" teach mode. The reaction time (TEACH-IN delay) is 1ms. A new
automatic teach-in is carried out if the ultrasonic path is clear for more than 2s.
The detection range covers papers between 40g/m² and 450g/m².

This amplifier corresponds to the VDB 12B/6P with regard to technical and electrical data as
well as the software. The devices are delivered with "manual teach" operating mode.
The calibration on the material to be detected is performed using pin 5 on the M 12
