  • Page 8: 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. ...

  • Page 9: 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 10: Troubleshooting

    • Ensure that Blanking (Figure 4.30) is accurately set to account for any unwanted targets between the sensor and the closest acceptable target. • Ensure that the LPU-2428 software is installed in a 32-bit Windows environment. Although the software will install in a 64-bit environment, it will not operate.

  • Page 11: 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 •...

  • Page 16: Software User Interface

    • Software User Interface The LPU-2428 software user interface is one screen with five primary areas (See Figure 4.2). In the upper left are seven Menu Buttons. These buttons control the information viewed in the Display Area. Below the Menu Buttons and Display Area are six Status Boxes in two columns.

  • Page 17: Programming The Lpu-2428

    • Programming the LPU-2428 The following menus are used to program the LPU-2428 whether you use the RST-4001 alone, or in conjunction with the LPU-2428 software. As described in the RST-4001 User Interface section above, menus are navigated on the RST-4001 using the UP Arrow and DOWN Arrow, and selected with the RIGHT Arrow. In the LPU-2427 software, menus are navigated by clicking on the desired Menu Buttons on the left side of the screen.
