1 Pre-installation Safety Instructions

1. Disconnect the 24V DC power supply before wiring, disassembly or assembly. Hot plugging/unplugging of M8 connectors is strictly prohibited to avoid breakdown and burnout of output transistors.
2. Only DC 15~30V power supply is permitted; AC power and high-voltage power supply are forbidden.
3. The maximum load current of PNP output is 200mA. A freewheeling diode must be connected in parallel across inductive loads such as solenoid valves and relays (reverse parallel on both ends of the coil).
4. Do not install the sensor at close proximity to strong ultrasonic sound sources (high-pressure washers, ultrasonic welding machines, high-frequency pneumatic nozzles), which will cause false triggering.
5. The housing is made of PA12 plastic. Do not strike the sound-emitting surface with sharp hard objects, and avoid direct spraying of strong acid or strong solvent onto the transducer head.
6. Only suitable for standard indoor industrial environments; a rainproof protective cover is mandatory for outdoor use.

3 Mechanical Installation Specifications

3.1 Dimensões Gerais (Unidade: milímetros)

Total length 42 × width 20 × thickness 15, compact block housing.

3.2 Standard Installation Methods

Method A: Aluminum Profile Groove Bracket Mounting (Recomendado)

1. Use plastic or metal snap brackets matched with standard 20mm aluminum profiles to wrap both sides of the sensor body.
2. Tightening torque of fixing screws shall be controlled at 0.4~0.6N·m. Do not compress the housing with excessive force to prevent damage to internal piezoelectric crystals.
3. The sound-emitting surface shall face the measured object vertically; a slight inclination of ±10° is allowed. Excessive tilt will drastically reduce detection stability.

Method B: Sheet Metal Cutout Fixing

1. Cutout dimension: 21mm × 16mm; chamfer and deburr cutout edges.
2. Non-flush mounting of the sensor: The transducer head shall protrude at least 5mm outward from the sheet metal.
3. Sheet metal tightly attached to both sides of the head will reflect ultrasonic waves, resulting in enlarged dead zone and frequent false detection.

3.3 Mandatory Key Installation Distance Requirements

1. Minimum dead zone: The distance between target and transducer head shall not be less than 40mm; targets within 40mm cannot be detected.
2. Maximum effective detection distance: 400milímetros; no signal output beyond this range.
3. No metal brackets, cables or bolts shall be fixed within the 120° sound beam in front of the head to avoid blocking ultrasonic waves.
4. Minimum target width: Stable detection requires target width ≥25mm at a distance of 200mm.

3.4 Environmental Taboos for Single Sensor Installation

Continuous water dripping or direct mist spray above / beside the transducer head is forbidden.

Keep away from fans, air guns and high-pressure blow nozzles (airflow disturbs ultrasonic echoes).

Long-term operation in silicone volatile environments (silicone glue, silicone oil seals) will clog the sound diaphragm.

4 Electrical Wiring Definition & Operação

4.1 M8 4-Pin Male Connector Pinout

4.2 Wiring Procedures

1. Cut off total power and confirm no voltage output from PLC / fonte de energia.
2. Connect with standard M8 4-core female cable; cable bending radius ≥ 5 × cable outer diameter.
3. Separate power cables (motor, inverter cables) from sensor signal cables with a spacing ≥100mm to avoid inverter interference.
4. Secure cables with cable ties; reserve 50mm slack at connectors to eliminate long-term tensile stress on plugs.
5. Install freewheeling diodes for inductive loads: Anode of diode connects to load negative terminal, cathode connects to 24V output terminal.

4.3 Requisitos de fonte de alimentação

Ripple voltage ≤10% of rated voltage

It is recommended to add a 1000μF filter capacitor to the switching power supply to suppress industrial grid interference

Do not share the same power circuit with high-power motors

5 Teach-in Calibration Process (Two Modes: Chave / External Wire)

5.1 Single Switch Threshold Setting (Standard Operation)

Método 1: On-body Key Calibration

1. Power on the sensor; green LED lights steadily for standby status.
2. Press and hold the side Teach key for 2 segundos; green LED flashes rapidly.
3. Place the workpiece at the target trigger detection distance.
4. Short-press the Teach key once.
5. Green LED stays lit for 2 segundos, indicating parameter storage complete and commissioning finished.

Metho 2: External Calibration via White Teach Wire (PLC Automatic Calibration Scenarios)

1. Short the white wire to brown 24V positive terminal for 2s; green LED flashes.
2. Place the workpiece at the preset detection distance.
3. Disconnect then instantly re-short the white wire once.
4. Green LED stays steady for 2s to save the threshold value.

5.2 Restore Factory Default Settings

1. Press and hold the Teach key for over 6 segundos / keep the white wire connected to 24V for more than 6 segundos.
2. Red and green LEDs flash alternately.
3. Release the key / disconnect the white wire; factory default measuring range 40~400mm and default switch point are restored automatically.

5.3 LED Indicator Status Description

6 Multi-sensor Installation Isolation Specifications (Mutual Interference Prevention)

6.1 Side-by-Side Same-Direction Mounting (Same Detection Orientation)

Minimum center-to-center distance between two UNDK20 series sensors: ≥120mm

Insufficient spacing causes mutual ultrasonic reflection and continuous false triggering.

6.2 Opposed Face-to-Face Mounting (Heads Facing Each Other)

Vertically stagger the axes of two heads by ≥150mm; direct face-to-face installation is forbidden.

If close opposed layout is mandatory, stagger mounting heights to avoid overlapping sound beams.

6.3 Recommended Layout for Dense Multi-sensor Arrangement

1. Install sensors in staggered high-low layers.
2. Equip each sensor with independent aluminum profile separation baffles (ABS / metal baffles block ultrasonic waves).
3. Split sensors into two groups with staggered power supply timing to avoid interference from simultaneous ultrasonic emission.

7 Power-on Inspection & Matriz de solução de problemas

7.1 No LED Illumination After Power-up

1. Reversed or broken brown/blue power wires
2. Supply voltage lower than 15V
3. Poor crimping of M8 plug pins; re-crimp the cable.

7.2 Yellow LED Steady On Without Target (False Triggering)

1. Metal brackets or cables block the sound beam in front of the head
2. Insufficient spacing between two sensors causing mutual interference
3. Continuous airflow or mist disturbs ultrasonic echoes
4. Excessively long calibrated distance via Teach-in; re-calibrate the threshold.

7.3 No Signal Output With Workpiece Present (Yellow LED Off)

1. Workpiece distance falls within the 40mm dead zone
2. Overly small workpiece or sound-absorbing material (thick sponge, sound-absorbing foam)
3. Sound diaphragm clogged with dust and oil; wipe and clean thoroughly
4. Overly close Teach-in threshold setting; re-perform Teach calibration.

7.4 Persistent Red Fault Indication

1. Short-circuited output load; disconnect load and re-test
2. Supply voltage exceeds 30V, burning internal circuits
3. Damaged sound diaphragm; sensor replacement required.

8 Environmental Installation Restrictions & Proteção

1. Faixa de temperatura: -10℃ ~ +60 ℃. Frost on the head below -10℃ leads to failure; heating shield required.
2. Proteção IP67: Tolerates short splashing water; long-term underwater submersion and direct high-pressure water jet flushing of the head are forbidden.
3. Heavy dust conditions (marcenaria, cimento, lithium powder): Blow clean the sound diaphragm with dry compressed air monthly.
4. Corrosive mist environments (electroplating, pickling): Use sealed protective covers to isolate acid and alkali fumes.

9 Routine Maintenance Specifications

1. Weekly visual inspection of transducer head surface to remove dust, oil and water stains.
2. Tighten bracket mounting screws monthly to eliminate loosening caused by vibration.
3. Inspect M8 connector cables quarterly for abrasion and cracking.
4. Clean only with dust-free cloth and clean water; soaking the head in alcohol, acetone or thinner is prohibited.
