The implemented parameter sets have been tested many times for numerous applications. If the sensors are not suitable for a planned application, they can be adapted by SONOTEC or partly by the customer (e.g. by parameter changes via additional software). Deviations of the standard sensors ex works are listed in the ‘Customer Specification’.
Operating Manual SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output 1 Introduction 1.2 Labeling of safety-relevant information If and where hazards to users exist, the relevant information and instructions for prevention are specifically labeled according to the level of risk. The hazard level is indicated by different signal words and colors.
SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output Operating Manual 2 Safety instructions Safety instructions The reliable and safe operation of sensors and all accessories depend on the observation of all safety regulations as well as the careful handling and execution of all operational tasks.
Any modifications to the sensors (e.g. to the potting, connectors or cables) or to the accessories are prohibited. In this case, safe operation can no longer be guaranteed. SONOTEC is not liable for any resulting damage or consequences.
SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output Operating Manual 2 Safety instructions 2.5 Notes on data security Based on analysis of vulnerabilities according to IEC 62443-4-1 and IEC 62443-4-2, no cyber security measures are necessary. However, a direct cyber-attack or tampering with the application environment cannot be completely ruled out.
Sensor description 3.1 Intended use The air bubble detector SONOCHECK ABD06.xxx with analogue output is used to detect air, gas bubbles and foam in liquid filled tubes made of synthetic materials. It also serves as wet/dry indicator. Industrial applications in the automation, semiconductor or food and beverage industry (e.g.
SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output Operating Manual 3 Sensor description 3.3 Measuring method and functioning An ultrasonic method based on short, high-frequency pulses is used. When liquid is in the tube, a detectable part of the ultrasonic sound is transmitted from the emitter through the tube to the receiver.
Operating Manual SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output 4 Optimal mounting position, installation and coupling Optimal mounting position, installation and coupling No or low bubble sensitivity due to liquid in measuring channel poor coupling of ultrasound or incorrect installation possible. Failed bubble detection can pose a serious danger.

Operating Manual SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output 5 Installation Installation The sensor is designed as a component for the integration into machines and equipment. It is mechanically and electrically integrated into the control system of a device. Recommended installation: " Tubing fits in the measuring channel: coupling surface is sufficiently large for the coupling of ultrasound, tube is not squeezed.
SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output Operating Manual 6 Operating the Sensor Operating the Sensor 6.1 General operating information Incorrect installation and use of the sensor and its components can constitute a hazard to the user: · The sensor and the associated tubing must be clean and intact during the operation.
Operating Manual SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output 6 Operating the Sensor 6.3 ʻInitial Testʼ after power on or restart After power on or restart the sensor is ready for measuring within approximately 1.5 seconds. NOTE The sensor starts with ʻInit Intervalʼ, which takes approximately 1 second. Then the ʻInitial Testʼ is performed, which takes max. 0.5 seconds. After that the normal operation mode is started. Additional to initial test after power on several internal cyclical self-test routines are implemented.
The error handling can be adapted to individual requirements. The sensor has self-test routines and sets defined output signals if an error is detected. The SONOCHECK ABD06 with Analog Output is maintenance-free. In case of major problems, please contact our support (see last chapter).
