    Scope of the documentation The following information is part of the ‘User Documentation’ of SONOTEC sensors and associated accessories, e.g. software for parameterization. Components of this ‘User Documentation’ are (depending on the scope of order and application): ·...
  • Page 8 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’.

  • Page 19: ʻInitial Testʼ After Power On Or Restart

    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.
  • Page 20: Troubleshooting And Maintenance

    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).
