CONTRINEX offers Series 1180/1181 and Series 1300-1303 ultrasonic proximity switches in M18 and M30 configurations. CONTRINEX ultrasonic sensors are available as diffuse and reflex sensors, with switching or analog outputs (M18 devices) or with 1 or 2 switching outputs/analog and switching outputs in the same device (M30 devices). Other features include operating distances of up to 6000 mm, high excess gain, and a small blind zone.

Ultrasonic sensors from Contrinex are available as diffuse, reflex and throughbeam types. With diffuse sensors, the target functions as a reflector. As soon as an object enters the preset sensing area, its echo causes the device to switch. In the case of reflex sensors, a fixed reflector (e.g. a small metal plate) is mounted facing the device. The switching range is set to this reflector. If an object comes between the ultrasonic sensor and the reflector, the sensor no longer recognizes the latter, which causes the output to switch.

Through-beam sensors consist of an emitter and a receiver placed opposite each other. If an object comes between them, the sound is interrupted, causing the output to switch. Ultrasonic sensors can be operated in any installation position. However, positions in which materials can be deposited on the transducer surface should be avoided. In order to obtain the best reflection results, the ultrasonic sensor should be oriented in such a way that the sound waves strike the target at as close to 90° as possible. If this is not possible (e.g. with bulk materials), the maximum possible range has to be determined experimentally, and is dependent on the material, surface and orientation of the objects.

Devices of series 1180/1181 and 1300/1303 can be synchronized with each other by simply connecting their synchronization outputs (pin 2 for N.O., pin 4 for N.C.). In this way, up to 10 sensors can be synchronized. In many cases, it is thus possible to mount the sensors very close to one another without mutual interference. The fourth connection can be used as an external release input. Thus, ultrasonic sensors can be activated or deactivated with an external control, without switching the supply voltage on and off. An external multiplex operation can be achieved by switching the ultrasonic sensors on and off one after the other via the release input. In this case, assurance is always given that the ultrasonic sensors do not influence one another. As opposed to internal synchronization, where more than 10 switches can be operated.

For optimum adaptation to the application conditions, devices of series 1180/1181 and 1300/1303 can be programmed with the PC interface device APE-0000-001. The series 1180/1181C and 1180/1181W devices are adjustable by teach-in via the device connection. The sensitivity of series 4040 devices can be adjusted via pin 2 or the white cable wire of the receiver.
