FIRST STEPS
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and
our products. This manual will make you familiar with the installation and operation of our ultrasonic
sensors. Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. After unpacking the device, check
it for any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check the delivery for
completeness. If necessary, consult the transportation company, or contact WayCon directly.
MOUNTING THE SENSOR
• Ultrasonic sensors may be installed in any position, as long as depositions like dust, spray mist, or
condensing humidity are avoided on the sound active membrane.
• It is important to avoid structure-borne sound bridges between the sensor and its holder.
• In case several ultrasonic sensors are used in one application, it is important to leave sucient
distance between them. Otherwise the sensors may interact which leads to false measurement
values.
• By using a sound deection angle the sound beam can be redirected, at the expense of the sensor’s
maximum measurement range. A plain and hard surface should be used for the defection of the
sound beam. Redirecting the sound beam with multiple sound deection angles should be avoided.

DETECTION BEAMS
The exact geometry of the sound cone depends on the air-pressure, temperature, humidity and the
size of the target.

EC (Echo LED) green: is on, when an echo is received (alignment LED).
P1, P2 LED yellow: LEDs P1 and P2 indicate the status of the switching outputs (UFP-200: just P1).
TEACHING THE ANALOG OUTPUT
Every sensor is delivered with the factory set-up (max. measurement range). The teach-in feature is
designed to choose a smaller range within the nominal measuring range for optimizing the resolution
and linearity. Output current, or output voltage adapt to the new range and get new characteristic
curves. The two positions P1 and P2 must be taught.
Characteristics
P1 and P2 dene the analog output slope.
P1 determines the 0 V / 4 mA position and P2 the 10 V / 20 mA position.
P1 P2
4 mA / 0 V
20 mA / 10 V
Positive slope: P1 < P2
P2 P1
4 mA / 0 V
20 mA / 10 V
Negative slope: P2 < P1
Teach-In of P1 (SP1 position)
Connect Teach-In line with GND until P1 and Echo LEDs start blinking with a 2 Hz frequency (UFP-200
just yellow). Release the contact. The sensor is now in the Teach-In mode for P1: P1 LED will now blink
with 1 Hz frequency (UFP-200 with ½ Hz) and the Echo LED will go back to normal function (alignment
LED). There is a time window of 30 seconds to do the programming of P1. Place the target at the new
position P1. Connect and release Teach-In line with GND: P1 is now programmed. Sensor returns to
normal function with the new value for P1.

TEACHING THE ANALOG OUTPUT
Teach-In of P2 (SP2 position)
Connect the Teach-In line with GND until the P2 and Echo LEDs start blinking with a 2 Hz frequency
(UFP-200 just yellow, 1 Hz). First P1 and Echo LEDs will be blinking, but it is important to wait to reach
P2. The sensor is now in the Teach-In mode for P2: P2 LED blinks with 1 Hz frequency now (UFP-200
just yellow, ½ Hz). The Echo LED returns to normal function (alignment LED). There is a time window
of 30 seconds to do the programming of P2. Place target at the new position P2. Contact and release
the Teach-In line with GND: P2 is now programmed. Sensor returns to normal function with the new
value for P2.
TEACHING THE SWITCHING OUTPUT
The teaching procedure is used to set the operation mode of the switching output and the 2 switching
points.
Three dierent modes of switching outputs can be selected:
• Normal switching function
• Window function
• Adjustable hysteresis
All these functions will be taught with the Teach-In line present in the connector. Each mode has a
dierent sequence using the Echo, P1 and P2 LEDs. The diagram displays the timing.
Window function mode:
SP1 is switching when object is
between P1 and P2. SP2 is switching
when the object is NOT between P1
and P2.
Selection of hysteresis mode:
Hysteresis adjustment of SP1 at
P1. Distance between P1 and P2
determines the hysteresis of the
switching outputs. SP1 has NO
(opener) and SP2 has NC (closer)
characteristics.
Teach-In of switching output
SP2 at position P2.
The switching output can
be either NO (opener) or NC
(closer).
Teach-In of switching output
SP1 at position P1.
The switching output can
be either NO (opener) or NC
(closer).

Normal Switching Function
Teach-In of P1 (SP1 position):
Connect Teach-In line with GND until P1 and Echo LEDs start blinking with a 2 Hz frequency and
then release the contact. The sensor is now in Teach-In mode for P1: P1 LED will now blink with 1 Hz
frequency and the Echo LED will go back to normal function (alignment LED). There is a time window
of 30 s to do the programming of P1. Place the target at the new position P1. Contact and release
Teach-In line with GND: P1 is now programmed. Sensor returns into normal function with new value
for P1.
