Ultrasonic proximity switch with
one switched output

Ultrasonic Sensors

Product Description
The sks sensor offers a non-contact
measurement of the distance to an
object which must be positioned
within the sensor’s detection zone.
The switched output is set in depen-
dence of the adjusted detect dis-
tance.
Via the push-button, the detect dis-
tance and operating mode can be
adjusted (teach-in). Two LEDs indi-
cate operation and the state of the
switched output.
The output function is changeable
from NOC to NCC.

Safety Notes

Read the operating instructions
prior to start-up.

Connection, installation and
adjustment works may only be
carried out by expert personnel.

No safety component in
accordance with the EU Machine
Directive

Proper use
sks ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.

Installation

Mount the sensor at the installa-
tion site.
Maximum torque: 0,5 Nm

Connect a connection cable to the
M8 device plug.

Factory Setting

Switched output on NOC

Detect points at operating range

Operating modes
Three operating modes are available
for the switched output:

Operation with one detect point

The switched output is set if the ob-
ject falls below the set detect point.

Window mode

The switched output is set if the ob-
ject is within the set window mar-
gins.

Two-way reflective barrier

The switched output is set if the ob-
ject is between sensor and reflector.

Checking operation mode

In normal mode shortly press the
push-button.

The green LED stops shining for one
second, then it will show the current
operation mode:

1 x flashing = operation with one

switching point

2 x flashing = window mode
3 x flashing = reflective barrier

After a break of 3 s the green LED
shows the output function:

1 x flashing = NOC
2 x flashing = NCC

Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-
free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend cleaning the white
sensor surface

Notes

sks-15/CD and sks-15/CE sensors
have internal temperature com-
pensation. Because the sensors
heat up on their own, the tempe-
rature compensation reaches its
optimum working point after ap-
proximatly 30 minutes of operati-
on.
The sensors sks-15/D and sks-15/E
have no temperature compensati-
on.

The sks sensor has a blind zone,
within which distance measure-
ments are not possible.

In the normal operating mode, an il-
luminated yellow LED signals the
switched output is switched
through.

If the object to be sensed moves
into the detection area from the
side, the switching distance should
be set 8-10 % further than the de-
sired switch point to obtain a reli-
able object detection.
If the object moves towards the
sensor (e.g. level control) the de-
tect point can be taught to the ac-
tual distance at which the sensor
has to switch the output.
