Product Description
The pms sensor has a stainless steel
housing and is designed for applications with hygienic requirements.
The ultrasonic transducer surface of
the pms sensors is laminated with a
PTFE film (Teflon film). The transducer itself is sealed against the housing by a joint ring.
The pms sensor with a D12 adapter
shaft can be fitted in a mounting clip
which meets hygiene standards like the
sensor screw connection BF-pms/A1.
The special housing design ensures
that any cleaning fluids are able to
run off completely, regardless of the
intstallation situation.
The pms sensor is ECOLAB certified.
The pms sensor variant D12 adapter
shaft offers a non-contact measurement of the distance to an object

present within the sensor’s detection
zone. Depending on the set window
limits, a distance-proportional analogue signal is the result.
For sensor setting, the accessory
LinkControl adapter LCA-2 is recommended in combination with LinkControl software for Windows©. Alternatively, the sensor can also be set
by Teach-in via pin 2.
Safety Notes
Read the operating instructions
prior to start-up.
Connection, installation and
adjustment works should be carried out by expert personnel only.
No safety component in
accordance with the EU Machine
Directive.
Proper use
pms ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.
The sensor must be mounted in an
EHEDG-approved mounting clip,
such as the sensor screw connection
BF-pms/A1 for a EHEDG-complaint
use.
Installation
Assemble the sensor and its hygie-
nic D12 sensor screw connection
BF-pms/A1 or an equivalent sensor
mounting clip at the installation
location.
Pull sensor cable through the sen-
sor gland, connect it to the M8
sensor plug.
Push the sensor with its shaft into
the sensor screw connection BFpms/A1 and adjust (see figure 3-
5). Tighten with lock nut (maximum tightening torque 12 Nm).
Start-Up
Connect the power supply.
Carry out the sensor adjustment
with LinkControl or alternatively
Teach-in procedure in accordance
with the diagram.

Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenancefree. For cleaning in areas with hygienic requirements, access to the sensor must be guaranteed from all
sides. Cleaning is permitted up to a
cleaning temperature of 85°C. Do
not use a high-pressure cleaner to
clean the sensor.

influence of the sensors
Notes
The sensors of the pms family
have a blind zone. Within this
zone a distance measurement is
not possible.

mounting for parallel or opposite
arrangement of the sensors shown
in figure 2 must be maintained.
The pms sensors are equipped
with an internal temperature compensation. Due to the sensors self
heating, the temperature compensation reaches its optimum
working-point after approx. 45
seconds of operation.
The sensor can be reset to its fac-
tory setting (see »Further settings«).
For Teach-in procedure when us-
ing the LinkControl adapter (optional accessory) the additional
adapter 5G/M12-4G/M12/M8 is
needed.
If the sensor is cleaned wet during
operation, all surfaces must be inclined at least 3° from the horizontal alignment so that the cleaning agents can run off completely
(see figure 3).
Fig. 3: pms sensor D12-adapter shaft with
sensor screw connection BF-pms/A1,
all surfaces must be inclined at
least 3°.
■ The D12 adapter shaft of the pms
sensor has to stick out at least
6 mm from the screw connection
(see figure 5).
The sealing ring has to fill space
between D12 sensor shaft and cap
nut. Sealing ring should not to be
pressed out excessively from the
shaft gland.

0.069 mm to 0.10 mm, depending on the
detection zones
for different objects:
The dark grey areas are determined with a
round bar and indicate the typical operating
range of a sensor. In order to obtain the light
grey areas, a plate (100 x 100 mm) is
introduced into the beam spread from the side.
In doing so, the optimum angle between
plate and sensor is always employed.
This therefore indicates the maximum
detection zone of the sensor.
It is not possible to evaluate ultrasonic
reflections outside this area.
