Overview:
U-GAGE T18U Series Sensors are opposed mode ultrasonic emitter/receiver pairs. They utilize an advanced built-in microprocessor to analyze the received ultrasonic signal and control an indicator LED located on the back of the receiver. The receiver LED flashes at a rate proportional to the received sonic signal strength. This indicator greatly simplifies sensor alignment and alerts personnel to marginal sensing conditions due to gradual misalignment or environmental factors. The receiver is precisely tuned to the ultrasonic emitter, making this sensor pair highly immune to both sonic and electrical ambient noise.
T18U receivers may be wired for either of two resolution modes: NORMAL or HIGH. The modes are selected by the polarity of the supply voltage (see hookup diagrams, page 4). The NORMAL resolution mode offers a sensing range of 600 mm (24") and maximizes sensing energy, as is required in demanding environments. The HIGH resolution mode yields a sensing range of up to 300 mm (12") and maximizes sensing response, as is needed in high-speed counting applications.
