Applications
The design and functionality makes this sensor best suitable for level detection applications in small containers or tanks. The device provides 2 switching outputs Q1 (S

Mounting and Connection
All parts are accommodated in a fully enclosed housing. The ultrasonic transducer is set back in the housing, so it is protected. Because of the built-in sealing the sensor can
be used as a closure with integrated level detection. The opening of the tank must have a diameter of 26 mm. The sensor is fixed by means of two M5 screws. The sensor
has a 5 pin M12 x 1 connector. The BERO has built-in polarity reversal as well as short-circuit and overload protection. Where there is electrical interference, shielded cables
are recommended.
Setup
The two ranges, the associated hysteresis and the average value are preset at the factory (see technical data). The parameters can be programmed with SONPROG or with
an automatic setup (teach-in). Teach-in can be done by means of the keys of the interface (accessories) or the function input XI.
Automatic Setup (Teach-in)
With this function the minimum level S
can be set. The following steps must be performed in the correct order:
min
1. Fill the tank up to the required minimum level or place an object at the required distance.
2. Apply "low" signal (0 to 3 V) to the function input XI - e.g. connect XI via a key to 0 V, or connect it via a PLC to "LOW"). The LED "S

3. Remove signal from XI - e.g. disconnect it from the function input XI, connect it to +U
Important! As long as the function input XI is connected to "low", the sensor is disabled.
