microsonic Manuals & User Guides

microsonic GmbH is a leading specialist in the field of ultrasonic sensors for industrial automation technology. Since its founding, the company has focused on the development and manufacturing of innovative ultrasonic components that exceed standard market requirements. Based in Dortmund, Germany, microsonic offers a comprehensive product portfolio that includes ultrasonic distance sensors, double sheet control systems, label and splice sensors, and proximity switches.

Designed for robust performance in diverse industrial environments—such as packaging, printing, and logistics—microsonic sensors are known for their reliability and precision. The company integrates modern interfaces like IO-Link to ensure seamless connectivity within automated systems. From standard applications to complex custom solutions, microsonic provides essential technology for non-contact measurement and detection tasks.

• How do I reset my microsonic sensor to factory settings?

  Generally, turn off the power supply, then press and hold the T1 button while switching the power back on. Keep the button pressed for about 15 seconds until 'rESEt' appears on the display.

• Can multiple microsonic sensors be synchronized?

  Yes, most microsonic sensors feature integrated synchronization. Connect the Sync/Com channels (Pin 5) of up to 10 sensors to prevent mutual interference.

• What maintenance do microsonic sensors require?

  The sensors are largely maintenance-free. However, if thick layers of dirt or caked-on material accumulate on the sensor surface, it should be cleaned to maintain measurement accuracy.

• What implies the blind zone of the sensor?

  The blind zone is the area directly in front of the transducer (e.g., 0 to 30 mm) where distance measurement is not possible. Objects must be placed outside this zone for detection.

• What do the LEDs on the sensor indicate?

  In normal operation, the LEDs indicate the switching status (e.g., green for object within limits, red for outside). The numerical display typically shows the measured distance in mm or cm.
