Product Description
The sks sensor offers a non-con-
tactmeasurement of the distance to an
object which must be positioned
within the sensor‘s detection zone.
The switching output is set in depen-
dance of the adjusted detect distance.
Via the push-button, the distance and
operating mode can be adjusted
(Teach-in). Two LEDs indicate the state
of the switching output.
The output function is changeable
from NOC to NCC.
IO-Link
The sks sensor is IO-Link-capable in
accordance with IO-Link specication
V1.1 and supports Smart Sensor Pro-
le like Digital Measuring Sensor.
Safety Notes
Ԏ
Read the operation manual prior
to start-up.
ԎConnection, installation and ad-
justment works may only be car-
ried out by expert personnel.
Ԏ
No safety component in ac-
cordance with the EU Machine
Directive, use in the area of per-
sonal and machine protection
not permitted
Use for intended purpose only
sks ultrasonic sensors are used for
non-contact detection of objects.
Installation
Î
Mount the sensor at the place of
tting.
Maximum torque of attachment
screw: 0,5 Nm.
ÎConnect a connection cable to the
M8 device plug, see Fig.1.

Operating modes
Three operating modes are available
for the switching output:
Ԏ
Operation with one switching
point
The switching output is set if the
object falls below the set switching
point.
ԎWindow mode
The switching output is set if the
object is inside the set window li-
mits.
ԎTwo-way reective barrier
The switching output is set if there
is an object between sensor and
reector.
Checking operating mode
Î
In normal operating mode shortly
press the push-button. The green
LED stops shining for one second,
then it will show the current ope-
rating mode:
Ԏ1x ashing = operation with one
switching point
Ԏ2x ashing = window mode
Ԏ3x ashing =reective barrier
After a break of 3 s the green LED
shows the output function:
Ԏ1x ashing =NOC
Ԏ2x ashing =NCC
Maintenance
microsonic sensors are maintenance-
free. In case of excess caked-on dirt
we recommend to clean the white
sensor surface.
Notes
Ԏ
Every time the power supply is swit-
ched on, the sensor detects its ac-
tual operating temperature and
transmits it to the internal tempera-
ture compensation. The adjusted
value is taken over after 45 seconds.
Ԏ
If the sensor was switched off for at
least 30 minutes and after power
on the the switching output is not
set for 30 minutes a new adjust-
ment of the internal temperature
compensation to the actual moun-
ting conditions takes place.
Ԏ
The sks sensor has a blind zone
whitin which distance measure-
ments are not possible.
ԎIn the normal operating mode, an
illuminated yellow LED signals the
switching output is switched
through.
Ԏ
In the »Set switching point – me-
thod A« Teach-in procedure the
actual distance to the object is
taught to the sensor as the swit-
ching point. If the object moves
towards the sensor (e.g. with level
control) then the taught distance is
the level at which the sensor has to
switch the output (see Fig.2).
