1 INTRODUCTION
About these operating
instructions These Operating Instructions describe the installation, operation
and maintenance of the SE-44 sensor and provide important
instructions for proper use.
These Operating Instructions are directed to both the system
construction master as well as the operator who uses the SE-44
sensor in production. The Operating Instructions must be read
and used by all persons who have the responsibility of installing,
operating and maintaining the SE-44 sensor.
The Operating Instructions must be carefully kept and must
always be available throughout the service life of the SE-44
sensor.
Note:
This operating manual also applies to sensor SE-44R.
Translation of the original Operating Instructions:
These Operating Instructions are a translation. The original
Operating Instructions were composed in German.
Proper usage The SE-44 sensor is used for no-contact measurements of the
lateral offset of the material web that is being controlled.
The SE-44 is suitable for:
– Web edge guiding and
– Web center guiding for dual application.
The SE-44
sensor can be used to control both opaque and
transparent materials
. A web guide controller must be used with
acoustically transparent materials to calibrate the sensor to the
material. For more information, see the web guide controller
operating instructions.
The SE-44 sensor must only be used in accordance with its
intended purpose and in a technically flawless conditions.
The SE-44
sensor must not be changed or opened

The housing of the SE-44 sensor is made of coated synthetic
material (see page
6-1 ). Please note the chemical resistance of
the synthetic material in use.
Improper usage – Operation outside of the technical specifications is not
permitted.
– Operation in areas where there is a danger of explosions is
prohibited.
– Any use other than the designated use is not permitted.
– The SE-44 sensor may not be used as a support, handle or
step.
Operating principle The SE-44 sensor works ultrasonically. This ensures the sensor
is ideally suited for optically transparent material webs. The
SE-44 is totally insensitive to ambient light.
The gap width GW and throat length GL are the characteristic
dimensions of the sensor.
The transmitter generates an ultrasonic field. Depending on how
far away the material web is in the ultrasonic field, a portion of
these ultrasonic waves strikes the receiver. Based on this, the
receiver generates the output signal from which the precise
position of the web edge is determined.

4 OPERATION
WARNING:
Danger of injury by crushing
ÖDo not place your hands on or near moving parts (rollers,
material web, etc.) during operation.
WARNING:
Danger of injury due to cutting on the edge of the material web
ÖDo not place your hands on the edge of the (moving) material
web during operation.
CAUTION:
Depending on the material of the web that is being guided, it is
possible that the web edge could grind against the inside of the
sensor fork, resulting in notches and incisions on the sensor.
The sensor could become unusable.
Settings All settings required for operating the SE-44 sensor are
performed with the web guide controller. Information on this
topic is available in the Operating Instructions for the web guide
controller.
Before the SE-44 is used for working with acoustically
transparent material, the sensor must always be calibrated to
the contrast with the web guide controller.
