Description of the sensor functions
Ultrasonic double-sheet monitoring to detect splice points is used in all situations in which
an automatic distinction must be made between splice points and double sheets in order
to protect machines or avoid waste production. Double-sheet monitoring for splice point
detection is based on the ultrasonic through-beam principle. The following can be detected:
- No sheet
- Individual sheet
- Splice point or double sheet
A microprocessor system evaluates the signals. The appropriate switch outputs are set
as a result of the evaluation. Changes in ambient conditions such as temperature and
humidity are automatically compensated. The evaluation electronics are installed in a
cuboid plastic housing separate from the sensor heads.
Measuring system
A complete system consists of an ultrasonic emitter, an ultrasonic receiver and an evaluation unit. These units have been optimally tuned to one another at the factory and may
not be used separately.
Alignment
When adjusting the emitter and receiver, take care to align them as precisely as possible.
Distance of the sensor heads: d = 20 mm ... 80 mm
Angular tolerance: α < +/- 2°
Maximum offset: s < +/- 2 mm
To ensure their correct function, the sensor heads must be aligned at an angle of
20° ... 45° from vertical onto the paper surface. The paper is guided over the emitter at a
distance of 5 mm ... 15 mm. The emitter is installed below in order to prevent dust deposits. Install the sensor heads using the included plastic nuts. The sound cone must be
completely covered by the paper. This means that the sensor heads must be installed
above the sheet of paper and at least 10 mm away from the side edge of the paper.

1. After the operating voltage has been applied, a single sheet can be fed in as the first sheet. It will automatically be programmed as a reference value
by the system.
2. If a single sheet of paper is located between the ultrasonic emitter and receiver when the operating voltage is turned on, it will automatically be programmed as
a reference value by the system.
Automatic learning for thinner types of sheets
If you are inserting a thinner type of sheet, you can dispense with the use of the Teach-In signal to program the system. In order to do
this, a single sheet of paper must be between the emitter and receiver for at least 2 s.
Automatic learning for thicker types of sheets
If you are inserting a thicker type of sheet but still not one that will result in double-sheet output, you can dispense with learning by
means of the Teach-In signal. In order to do this, a single sheet of paper must be between the emitter and receiver for at least 2 s.
Teach-In for new type of sheet
If you are inserting a new type of sheet that will result in double-sheet output, the system must be reprogrammed. To do this, a single
sheet must be placed between the emitter and receiver. After the Teach-In signal has been applied, the corresponding reference value
will be accepted.
Caution!
The paper sheets may not touch the sensor heads during operation. Depending on physical conditions, reflections on the
edge of a single sheet may result in double-sheet output. This is not an error, and can be masked out in the higher-level control system.
Sensor systems for ultrasonic double-sheet monitoring can also be delivered with a customised time response for optimal adaptation
to specific applications.
Notes:
When installing, care has to be taken that the ultrasonic signal cannot pass around the material that is to be detected, due to multiple
reflections. This can happen if large surfaces are present at right angles to the direction of sound propagation. This can be the case if
unsuitable mounting brackets are used, or if assemblies with large surface are part of the machine. In the latter case such machine
parts should be covered by sound absorbing material or a different location for the installation should be chosen.
In cases where more than one system is needed per machine, acoustic isolation should be provided to avoid cross-talk. This can be
provided, for example, by appropriately positioning isolation panels.
