  • Page 9: Product Description

    UC***-L2M series Product Description Product Description Use and Application The UC***-L2M series ultrasonic sensors use ultrasonic pulses to detect objects. The sensor emits ultrasound, which is reflected by the object and received again by the sensor. The mea- sured sound propagation time is used to determine the distance to the object (pulse-echo prin- ciple).

  • Page 61: Synchronizing Multiple Sensors

    UC***-L2M series Synchronizing Multiple Sensors Synchronizing Multiple Sensors In applications where multiple ultrasonic sensors are operated in close proximity to each other, we must prevent cross-talk between them. Otherwise, this can result in individual devices pro- viding incorrect measurements. Synchronizing devices is the easiest way to solve this problem. This can be done directly between the synchronized sensors without intervention from a separate CAN device.
  • Page 62 UC***-L2M series Synchronizing Multiple Sensors Define Cycle Time The cycle time determines the interval at which a synchronized measurement of all sensors in this sync group is triggered. If a sync group has cycle time 0, this group is inactive. Theoreti- cally, you can enter any value in ms.

  • Page 63: Maintenance And Repair

    UC***-L2M series Maintenance and Repair Maintenance and Repair Maintenance Work The sensor itself is maintenance-free. For this reason, it is not necessary to carry out regular adjustments or maintenance work on the sensor itself. However, check that the sensor and connector are tight within the scope of routine mainte- nance intervals.

  • Page 64: Troubleshooting

    In case of a fault, use the following checklist to determine whether a fault with the sensor can be remedied. If none of the information provided in the checklist solves the problem, contact Pepperl+Fuchs via your sales office with any queries. Have details of the model number and firmware version of the sensor ready if possible.
