Product Description
Ultrasonic Sensors
The sks sensor offers a non-contact
measurement of the distance to an
object which must be positioned
within the sensor’s detection zone.
The switched output is set in dependence of the adjusted detect distance.
Via the push-button, the detect distance and operating mode can be
adjusted (teach-in). Two LEDs indicate operation and the state of the
switched output.
The output function is changeable

Safety Notes
■ Read the operating instructions
prior to start-up.
■ Connection, installation and
adjustment works may only be
carried out by expert personnel.
■ No safety component in
accordance with the EU Machine
Directive
Proper use
sks ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
■ Mount the sensor at the installa-
tion site.
Maximum torque: 0,5 Nm
■ Connect a connection cable to the
M8 device plug.

Start-Up
■ Connect the power supply.
■ Carry out the adjustment in
accordance with the diagram.
Factory Setting
■ Operation with one detect point
■ Switched output on NOC
■ Detect points at operating range
Operating modes
Three operating modes are available
for the switched output:
■ Operation with one detect point
The switched output is set if the object falls below the set detect point.
■ Window mode
The switched output is set if the object is within the set window margins.
■ Two-way reflective barrier
The switched output is set if the object is between sensor and reflector.
Checking operation mode
■ In normal mode shortly press the
push-button.
The green LED stops shining for one
second, then it will show the current
operation mode:
1 x flashing = operation with one
switching point
2 x flashing = window mode
3 x flashing = reflective barrier
After a break of 3 s the green LED
shows the output function:
1 x flashing = NOC
2 x flashing = NCC
Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenancefree. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface

Notes
■ sks-15/CD and sks-15/CE sensors
have internal temperature compensation. Because the sensors
heat up on their own, the temperature compensation reaches its
optimum working point after approximatly 30 minutes of operation.
The sensors sks-15/D and sks-15/E
have no temperature compensation.
■ The sks sensor has a blind zone,
within which distance measurements are not possible.
■ In the normal operating mode, an il-
luminated yellow LED signals the
switched output is switched
through.
■ If the object to be sensed moves
into the detection area from the
side, the switching distance should
be set 8-10 % further than the desired switch point to obtain a reliable object detection.
If the object moves towards the
sensor (e.g. level control) the detect point can be taught to the actual distance at which the sensor
has to switch the output.

Resolution, sampling rate
The dark grey areas are determined
with a thin round bar (10 mm dia.)
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.

■
In the »Two-way reflective barrier«
operating mode, the object has to
be within the range of 0-85 % of
the set distance.
■ If the push-button is not pressed
for 10 minutes during the teach-in
setting, the settings made hitherto
are deleted.
■ The sensor can be reset to its fac-
tory setting.
