Ultrasonic Sensor

The housing of the SE-44 sensor is made of coated synthetic
material (see page
6-1
). Please note the chemical resistance of
the synthetic material in use.
Improper usage – Operation outside of the technical specifications is not
permitted.
– Operation in areas where there is a danger of explosions is
prohibited.
– Any use other than the designated use is not permitted.
– The SE-44 sensor may not be used as a support, handle or
step.
Operating principle The SE-44 sensor works ultrasonically. This ensures the sensor
is ideally suited for optically transparent material webs. The
SE-44 is totally insensitive to ambient light.
The gap width GW and throat length GL are the characteristic
dimensions of the sensor.
The transmitter generates an ultrasonic field. Depending on how
far away the material web is in the ultrasonic field, a portion of
these ultrasonic waves strikes the receiver. Based on this, the
receiver generates the output signal from which the precise
position of the web edge is determined.
