UC12 Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor The UC12 sensor offers all of the benefits of ultrasonic detection in a package which is mechanically interchangeable with the industry standard SICK W12 photo-electric sensor. The UC12 complements the W12 series of photo-electric sensors offering a reliable method of detecting transparent objects. The ultrasonic measuring principle also makes this sensor immune to the effects of dust and water vapour. Ultrasonic measuring principle Interchangeable with SICK W12 photo-electric sensor Reliable detection of transparent objects Reliable operation in dusty environments Distance to object operating mode (e.g. for applications such as height detection) Object between sensor and background mode (e.g. the background is taught and the sensor switches if anything is placed in between; for applications where sound could be reflected away from the sensor) Window mode (e.g. the sensor switches if the target is in a specified range of distances from the sensor; for applications where target could be presented at a range of different distances from the sensor) Push button to select operating mode and position of switch points Technical specification Supply Voltage 12-30Vdc Reproducibility 0.15% of final value Accuracy ±2% of final value Ripple ±10% No load current consumption ≤70mA Standby delay 2 seconds Connection Type Plug, M12, 5 pin Ingress protection IP65 Operating temperature range -20° to +70°C Housing material Nickel plated brass
