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 NOTICES
• The sensor can be mounted with the two M12 nuts (UFA2-200), M18 nuts (UFA2-1500) or M30 nuts
(UFA2-6000) which are included in the delivery.
• The sensor has to be protected against mechanical loads for example shocks and impacts.
• The sensor can be mounted in any position, however a vibration-free or vibration-dampening
assembly must be observed.
• The transducer surface as well as the field of the detection beam must be kept free mandatorily. You
need to pay attention on having no disturbing objects between the sensor and the target object
within the detection beam. Otherwise the sensor will detect the disturbing object instead of the
target object required.
• The object reflects a part of the ultrasonic in the
diffuse mode - this reflected sound will be evaluated
by the sensor. Objects with a smooth surface are
reliably detected up to a tilting angle of approx. 10°.
With the UFA2-1500 (respectively UFA2-6000) the
permissible angle of inclination is approx. 5° with
a scanning range of 150 mm (respectively 600 mm)
and approx. 2° with a scanning range of 1500 mm
(respectively 6000 mm). The max. allowed tilting
angle increases on objects with a rough or heavy
structured (granular) surface.

- Page 5 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.
