Rockwell Automation 873P Analog or Discrete Ultrasonic Sensors - Manual

Installation Instructions
Bulletin 873P Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor
IMPORTANT: Save these instructions for future use.
IMPORTANT: Solid state devices can be
susceptible to radio frequency (RF)
interference depending on the
power and the frequency of the
transmitting source. If RF
transmitting equipment is to be used
in the vicinity of the solid state
devices, thorough testing should be
performed to assure that transmitter
operation is restricted to a safe
operating distance from the sensor
equipment and its wiring.
ATTENTION: If a hazardous condition can
result from unintended operation of this
device, access to the sensing area should
be guarded.
Description
Bulletin 873P Ultrasonic Sensors are self-contained
solid-state devices designed for noncontact sensing of solid
and liquid objects. They are available in several sensing
ranges with either an analog or discrete output depending
on the model.
The discrete output models have a normally open PNP
output that is switched when the target is within range.
They have a four-turn potentiometer to adjust the far limit of
the sensing range in order to ignore background targets.
The analog output models provide an output current or
voltage that varies linearly with the target distance within its
specified sensing range. Analog models are equipped with
either 4--20mA or 0--10V DC outputs. These devices can be
useful for many applications including: level monitoring,
diameter measurement, distance measurement, and web
tension.
