Synchronisation
To suppress mutual influence, the sensor is equipped with a synchronisation connection. If this is not activated, the sensor
works with an internally generated clock. Synchronisation of multiple sensors can be achieved in the following ways.
External synchronisation
The sensor can be synchronized by external application of a square wave voltage. A synchronisation impulse on the synchronisation input leads to the execution of one measurement cycle. The impulse width must be larger than 100 µs. The measure-
ment cycle starts with the falling flank. A low level > 1 sec or an open synchronisation input puts the sensor in normal mode. A
high level on the synchronisation input deactivates the sensor.
Two operational modes are possible
1. Multiple sensors are controlled using the same synchronisation signal. The sensors work in synch.
2. The synchronisation impulses are cyclically fed to only one sensor at a time. The sensors work in multiplex mode.
Autosynchronisation
The synchronisation connections of up to 10 sensors are connected together. These sensors then work in multiplex mode after
power is switched on. The activation delay is increased corresponding to the numer of synchronised sensors.
Note:
If the synchronisation option is not used, the sync. input should be connected to ground (0V), or the sensor connected using a
V1 connector cable (4-pin).
Setting the switch point
The ultrasonic sensor possesses a switch output, of which the switching point can be set simply and precisely using the builtin 12-position potentiometer. Using the switch Q/Q
direction of the switching output can be selected.
There are two different output functions which can be selected
1. one switching point, normally open
2. one switching point, normally closed
