Product Description
The zws 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 depen-
dence of the adjusted detect dis-
tance.
Via the push-button, the detect dis-
tance and operating mode can be
adjusted (teach-in). Two LEDs indi-
cate operation and the state of the
switched output.
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
zws ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
 Mount the sensor at the installa-
tion site with the aid of the
enclosed mounting plate.
Maximum torque: 0,5 Nm
Fig. 1: Attachment with mounting plate
 Connect a connection cable to the
M8 device plug.
 Avoid mechanical load on the con-
nector.

Start-Up
 Connect the power supply.
 Carry out the adjustment
in accordance with the diagram.

Operating modes
Three operating modes are available
for the switched output:
 Operation with one detect point
The switched output is set if the ob-
ject falls below the set detect point.
 Window mode
The switched output is set if the ob-
ject is within the set window mar-
gins.
 Two-way reflective barrier
The switched output is set if the ob-
ject is between sensor and reflector.
Synchronization
You can synchronize as many sensors
as you like.
 Apply a square-wave signal to the
sync-input with pulse width t
i
and
repetition rate t
p
(Fig. 3 and
technical data).
A high level on the sync-input will
deactivate the sensor.
Fig. 3: External synchronization signal
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
operating 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 maintenance-
free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface
