■ Other documents
1.2 Target Group, Personnel
Responsibility for planning, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and
dismounting lies with the plant operator.
Only appropriately trained and qualified personnel may carry out mounting, installation,
commissioning, operation, maintenance, and dismounting of the product. The personnel must
have read and understood the instruction manual and the further documentation.
Prior to using the product make yourself familiar with it. Read the document carefully.
1.3 Symbols Used
This document contains symbols for the identification of warning messages and of informative
messages.
Warning essages
You will find warning messages, whenever dangers may arise from your actions. It is mandatory

Introduction
Depending on the risk level, the warning messages are displayed in descending order as
follows:
Informative Symbols
Action
This symbol indicates a paragraph with instructions. You are prompted to perform an action or
a sequence of actions.
1.4 Intended Use
The UC***-F77 series ultrasonic sensors use ultrasonic pulses to detect objects. The sensor
emits ultrasound which is reflected by the object and received again by the sensor. The
measured sound propagation time is used to determine the distance to the object (pulse-echo
principle). Objects in the following forms can be detected: solid, granular, powder, or liquid. The
color and surface structure of the objects are irrelevant. Gases cannot be detected.
Always operate the device as described in these instructions to ensure that the device and
connected systems function correctly. The protection of operating personnel and plant is
guaranteed only if the device is operated in accordance with its intended use.
Responsibility for compliance with locally-valid safety regulations is borne by the operator.
Only use recommended original accessories.
1.5 General Safety Notes
Responsibility for planning, assembly, commissioning, operation, maintenance, and
dismounting lies with the plant operator.
Installation and commissioning of all devices may only be performed by trained and qualified
personnel.
The device is only approved for appropriate and intended use. Ignoring these instructions will
void any warranty and absolve the manufacturer from any liability.
Danger!
This symbol indicates an imminent danger.
Non-observance will result in personal injury or death.
Warning!
This symbol indicates a possible fault or danger.
Non-observance may cause personal injury or serious property damage.
Caution!
This symbol indicates a possible fault.
Non-observance could interrupt the device and any connected systems and plants, or result in
their complete failure.
Note!
This symbol brings important information to your attention.
Note!
UC***-F77 series ultrasonic sensors are not safety components within the meaning of the C
Machinery Directive 2006/42/ C. They must not be used for the purposes of avoiding risk to
individuals or parts of the body.

2.1 Use and Application
The UC***-F77 series ultrasonic sensors use ultrasonic pulses to detect objects. The sensor
emits ultrasound which is reflected by the object and received again by the sensor. The
measured sound propagation time is used to determine the distance to the object (pulse-echo
principle). Objects in the following forms can be detected: solid, granular, powder, or liquid. The
color and surface structure of the objects are irrelevant. Gases cannot be detected.
Figure 2.1 xample of application: film monitoring on a packaging machine
Typically, ultrasonic sensors are used in a wide range of applications including:
■ Sag control on packaging and metal processing machines
■ To measure diameter of roll material (e.g., film, paper, metal sheet)
■ To detect fill levels in tanks and silos
■ To avoid collisions with self-propelled or controlled machines
■ Height control of booms for sprayers
■ To detect containers on refuse collection vehicles
■ To detect objects or to measure fill levels on conveyor belts
■ To detect pallets on forklift trucks
■ To monitor range on barrier systems
■ To detect PCBs when feeding them to SMD placement machines
