FIRST STEPS
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and
our products. This manual will make you familiar with the installation and operation of our ultrasonic
sensors. Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. After unpacking the device, check
it for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check the delivery for
completeness. If necessary, consult the transportation company, or contact WayCon directly.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
• Ultrasonic sensors may be installed in any position, as long as depositions like dust, spray mist, or
condensing humidity are avoided on the sound active membrane.
• It is important to avoid structure-borne sound bridges between the sensor and its holder.
• In case several ultrasonic sensors are used in one application, it is important to leave sufficient
distance between them. Otherwise the sensors may interact which leads to false measurement
values.
• By using a sound deflection angle the sound beam can be redirected, at the expense of the sensor's
maximum measurement range. A plain and hard surface should be used for the defection of the
sound beam. Redirecting the sound beam with multiple sound deflection angles should be avoided.

  • Page 6 TEACHING THE SWITCHING OUTPUT Teach-In of P2 (SP2 position): Connect the Teach-In line with GND until the P2 and Echo LEDs start blinking with a 2 Hz frequency. First P1 and Echo LEDs will be blinking but it is important to wait to reach P2. The sensor is now in Teach-In mode for P2: P1 LED blinks with 1 Hz frequency now.
  • Page 7: Environmental Influences

    INFLUENCES ON THE MEASUREMENT Environmental influences: Ultrasonic sensors are made for the use in atmospheric air. Environmental Influences like rain, snow, dust or smoke have no influence on the accuracy of the measurement. However, measurements under pressure (higher that the atmospheric pressure) are not possible with ultrasound sensors. Strong wind or air turbulences may lead to instability in measurement values.
