Ultrasonic
*Models with Temperature Compensation:
An increase in air temperature shifts both sensing window limits closer to the sensor. Conversely, a decrease in air temperature shifts both
limits further away from the sensor. The shift is approximately 3.5% of the limit distance for a 20°C change in temperature.
Temperature compensated models maintain the position of both sensing window limits to within 1% of each limit distance over the range of
from 0° to +50°C, and to within 2.5% over the full operating range of from -25° to +70°C.
**NOTES:
• 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., Q45UBB63BC W/30)
• A model with a QD connector requires an optional mating cable, see page 8.

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.

Programming Information
Near and Far Sensing Limit Settings:
The Q45U features a single push button for programming of
sensing window near and far limits (Figure 1). See the
programming procedure on page 4.
Status Indicators:
Status indicator LEDs are visible through the transparent, o-ring
sealed Lexan®top cover. Indicator function in the RUN mode is,
as follows:
•The green LED is on steadily whenever power is applied to
the sensor, and flashes to indicate an overloaded output.
•The red LED lights when an echo is received, and flashes at
a rate that is proportional to echo strength.
•The yellow LED lights whenever the outputs are conducting.
The 5-segment moving dot LED indicator displays the relative
position of the target within the programmed sensing window.
The #1 LED flashes when the target is closer than the near limit.
The #5 LED flashes when the target is beyond the far limit.
Output Response Settings:
IMPORTANT: Remove power before making any internal
adjustments.
Using the two slots shown in Figure 1, a small flat-blade
screwdriver may be used to lift up and remove the black inner
cover to expose the 4-position DIP switch (Figure 2). Those
switches are used to program the following functions:

Q45U Long-Range Ultrasonic Sensors with Bipolar Discrete Outputs
The HIGH/LOW mode (switch #2 on) provides the switching logic required for fill-level, web tensioning control, and similar
applications. In the HIGH/LOW mode, the output energizes when the target reaches the first sensing window limit, and stays
energized until the target moves to the second limit. The output then de-energizes at the second limit and does not re-energize until
the target moves, again, to the first limit. Figure 3 shows how pumping action might be controlled, directly, by the sensor in a fill-
level application.

Push Button Indicator Status
Step 1
Push and hold until green indicator turns off
(approximately 2 seconds)
Push and Hold for ≥2 Seconds
Green: Goes off
Yellow: Is on steadily to indicate ready for teaching
first limit
Red: Flashes to indicate strength of echo or is
off if no target is present
Step 2
FIRST LIMIT (Near or Far)
Place the target at the first limit and press the
push button for less than 2 seconds
Push for < 2 Seconds
Target at
First Limit
Green: Remains off
Yellow: Flashes at 2 Hz to indicate ready for
teaching second limit
Red: Comes on steadily for a moment, then
resumes flashing to indicate strength of
echo
Step 3
SET SECOND LIMIT (Far or Near)
Place the target at the second limit and press
the push button for less than 2 seconds
Push for < 2 Seconds
Target at
Second Limit
Green: Remains off, then comes on steadily
(returns to RUN mode)
Yellow: On steadily for a moment, then is either on
or off to indicate output state (returns to
RUN mode)
Red: Comes on steadily for a moment, then
resumes flashing to indicate strength of
echo (returns to RUN mode)
Notes regarding window limit programming:
1) Either the near or far limit may be programmed, first.
2) There is a 2-minute timeout for programming of the first limit. The sensor will return to RUN mode with the previously
programmed limits. There is no timeout between programming of the first and second limit.
3) The programming sequence may be cancelled at any time by pressing and holding the push button for ≥2 seconds. The sensor
returns to RUN mode with the previously programmed limits.
4) During limit programming, the 5-segment moving dot indicator displays the relative target position between 0 and 4.0 m (the
maximum recommended far limit position is 3.0 m).
5) If the target is positioned between 3.0 and 4.0 m, the 5th segment of the moving dot indicator flashes to indicate that a valid
echo is received, but the target is beyond the recommended 3.0 meter maximum far limit.
6) If a limit is rejected during either programming step, the sensor will revert to the first limit programming step (Step 2 in
programming chart). This will be indicated by Green - off, Red - flashing to indicate signal strength, and Yellow - on steadily.
7) If both limits are accepted, the sensor will return to RUN mode, which is indicated by the Green LED coming on steadily.
8) If the target is held at the same position for programming of both limits, the sensor will establish a 50 mm wide sensing
window, centered on the target position.
Window Limit Programming
The “Limits” push button, located under the transparent top cover, is used to program the near and the far limits. The near limit may
be set as close as 250 mm (9.8") and the far limit may be set as far as 3.0 m (118") from the transducer face. Minimum window
width is 25 mm (1.0"). Whenever possible, use the actual target to be sensed when setting the window limits. The following
procedure begins with the sensor in RUN mode.
