  • Page 7: Mounting Instructions

    • Mounting Instructions Mounting your LPU is easy if you follow a few simple steps: • Never over-tighten the sensor. • Always screw in your sensor by hand to avoid cross-threading. Thread failure can be a problem if you damage threads by over-tightening them or by crossing threads. IMPORTANT: Do not over tighten! The sensor should be threaded in only hand tight.

  • Page 8: Software Installation

    Chapter 3: Maintenance • General Care Your LPU-2428 ultrasonic sensor is very low maintenance and will need little care as long as it was installed correctly. However, in general, you should: • Avoid applications for which the sensor was not designed, such as extreme temperatures, contact with incompatible corrosive chemicals and fumes, or other damaging environments.

  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    • Trouble Shooting Should you have problems with your LPU-2428, here are some troubleshooting steps. • Check the received signal strength (just to left of the three Help buttons in the lower right corner. See Figure 4.32). If the signal strength is low, alternately increase Pulses and Sensitivity (Figure 4.30) until the signal strength improves.

  • Page 10: Repair And Returns

    • Repair and Returns Should your LPU-2428 ultrasonic sensor require service, please contact the factory via phone, email, or online chat. We will issue you a Return Material Authorization (RMA) number with instructions. • Phone: 888-525-7300 •...
