Description
The miniature sensor housing
of the zws-15 has dimensions of 20 mm x 32 mm x 12 mm. The housing’s design and mounting is compatible with many optical sensors. This facilitates the conversion to ultrasonic sensors for critical applications.
The Teach-in button
on the top facilitates the convenient setting of the sensor.
Two LEDs
in the sensor housing’s upper half indicate the switching output and respectively the analogue output states.
The temperature compensation of the analogue sensors
profits from a significant improvement. The sensors reach their operating point only 45 seconds after switching on operating voltage.
The zws sensors with switching output have three operating modes:
Single switching point (Method A and B)
Two-way reflective barrier
Window mode
The operating mode single switching point (Method A)
is suitable for applications, in which the actual distance to the object is also the switching point.
