Microsonic Nano Series User manual

  • Hello! I'm your chat assistant. I've reviewed the Operation Manual for the microsonic nano series ultrasonic proximity switches, specifically the nano 15/CD, nano 24/CD, nano 15/CE, and nano 24/CE models. This manual details the devices' non-contact distance measurement capabilities, various operating modes, and teach-in procedures. I'm ready to answer your questions about these sensors and their usage.
  • What are the operating modes available for the switching output?
    How is the switching distance adjusted?
    What do the LED indicators signal?
Product Description
nano sensors offer a non-contact mea-
surement of the distance to an object
which must be positioned within the
sensor’s detection zone. The switching
output is set conditional upon the ad-
justed switching distance. Via the
Teach-in procedure, the switching dis-
tance and operating mode can be
adjusted.
Safety Notes
Ԏ
Read the operation manual prior
to start-up.
ԎConnection, installation and ad-
justment works should be carried
out by expert personnel only.
Ԏ
No safety component in ac-
cordance with the EU Machine
Directive, use in the area of per-
sonal and machine protection
not permitted
Proper Use
nano ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
Î
Mount the sensor at the installation
site.
ÎConnect a connection cable to the
M12 device plug, see Fig. 1.
Start-up
ÎConnect the power supply.
ÎSet the parameters of the sensor by
using the Teach-in procedure, see
Diagram 1.
Î
When operating several sensors,
ensure that the mounting distances
specified in Fig. 2 are not undercut.

Factory Settings
nano sensors are delivered factory
made with the following settings:
ԎSwitching point operation
ԎSwitching output on NOC
Ԏ
Switching distance at operating
range.
Operating Modes
Three operating modes are available
for the switching output:
Ԏ
Operation with one switching
point
The switching output is set when
the object falls below the set swit-
ching point.
ԎWindow mode
The switching output is set when
the object is within the set window
limits.
ԎTwo-way reflective barrier
The switching output is set when no
object is between sensor and fixed
reflector.

nano-24... ≥0.25 m ≥1.40 m

Checking Sensor Settings
Î
In normal operating mode shortly
connect Teach-in to +UB. Both LEDs
stop shining for one second. The
green LED indicates the current
operating mode:
Ԏ1x flashing = operation with one
switching point
Ԏ2x flashing = window mode
Ԏ3x flashing = two-way reflective
barrier
After a break of 3 s the green LED
shows the output function:
Ԏ1x flashing = NOC
Ԏ2x flashing = NCC
Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-
free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface.
Notes
Ԏ
Every time the power supply is swit-
ched on, the sensor detects its ac-
tual operating temperature and
transmits it to the internal tempera
-
ture compensation. The adjusted
value is taken over after 45 seconds.
Ԏ
If the sensor was switched off for at
least 30 minutes and after power
on the switching output is not set
for 30 minutes a new adjustment of
the internal temperature compen-
sation to the actual mounting con-
ditions takes place.
Ԏ
The sensors of the nano family have
a blind zone. Within this zone a di-
stance measurement is not possible.
ԎIn the normal operating mode, an
illuminated yellow LED signals that
the switching output is switched
through.
ԎIn the »Two-way reflective barrier«
operating mode, the object has to
be within the range of 0-92 % of
the set distance.

Ԏ
In the »Set switching point - me-
thod A« Teach-in procedure the
actual distance to the object is
taught to the sensor as the swit-
ching point. If the object moves
towards the sensor (e.g. with level
control) then the taught distance is
the level at which the sensor has to
switch the output, see Fig. 3.

Fig. 3: Setting the switching point for diffe-
rent directions of movement of the
object
ԎIf the object to be scanned moves
into the detection zone from the
side, the »Set switching point +8 %
- method B« Teach-in procedure
should be used. In this way the swit-
ching distance is set 8 % further
than the actual measured distance
to the object. This ensures a reliable
switching behavior even if the
height of the objects varies slightly,
see Fig. 3.
ԎThe sensor can be reset to its facto-
ry setting (see Diagram 1).

detection zone
for different objects:
The dark grey areas represent the
zone where it is easy to recognise
the normal reflector (round bar).
This indicates the typical operating
range of the sensors. The light
grey areas represent the zone
where a very large reflector - for
instance a plate - can still be re-
cognised.
The requirement is an optimal
alignment to the sensor.
It is not possible to evaluate
ultrasonic reflections
outside this area.
