WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or
death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized
sensor output condition.
Temperature Compensation
All models listed above feature temperature compensation. An increase in air temperature shifts both sensing window limits closer
to the sensor. Conversely, a decrease in air temperature shifts both limits further away from the sensor. The shift is approximately
3.5% of the limit distance for a 20 °C change in temperature.
Temperature compensated models maintain the position of both sensing window limits to within 1% of each limit distance over the
0 °C to +50 °C (+32 °F to +122 °F) range, and to within 2.5% over the full operating range of –25 °C to +70 °C (–13 °F to +158 °F).
Overview
Near and Far Sensing Limit Settings. The Q45U features a single push button for programming the sensing window near and far
limits.
Status Indicators. Status indicator LEDs are visible through the transparent, o-ring sealed polycarbonate top cover. Indicator
function in the Run mode is as follows:
1 To order 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (for example, Q45UBB63BC W/30).
Models with a quick-disconnect connector require an optional mating cable.

The green LED is on when power is applied to the sensor and flashes to indicate an overloaded output.
The red LED flashes when an echo is received; the flash rate is proportional to echo strength.
The amber LED is on when the outputs are conducting.

Note: If no echo is received by the sensor, the target is assumed to be beyond the far window limit.
Figure 3. High/Low Control (DIP Switch 2 in ON)
The HIGH/LOW mode (DIP switch 2 is ON) provides the switching logic required for fill-level, web tensioning control, and similar
applications. In the HIGH/LOW mode, the output energizes when the target reaches the first sensing window limit, and stays
energized until the target moves to the second limit. The output then de-energizes at the second limit and does not re-energize
until the target moves, again, to the first limit. This example shows how pumping action might be controlled, directly, by the sensor
in a fill-level application.
Programming the Window Limit
Use the Limits button, located under the transparent top cover, to program the near and the far limits.
The near limit may be set as close as 250 mm (9.8 in) and the far limit may be set as far as 3.0 m (118 in) from the transducer face.
The minimum window width is 25 mm (1.0 in). When possible, use the actual target to be sensed when setting the window limits.
Programming the window limit begins with the sensor in Run mode.
1. Push and hold the Limits button until the green LED turns off (approximately 2 seconds).

U-GAGE® Q45U Long-Range Ultrasonic Sensors
1. Either the near or far limit may be programmed first.
2. There is a 2-minute timeout for programming of the first limit. The sensor returns to Run mode with the previously
programmed limits. There is no timeout between the programming of the first and second limit.
3. Cancel the programming sequence at any time by pressing and holding the Limits button for ≥ 2 seconds. The sensor
returns to Run mode with the previously programmed limits.
4. During limit programming, the 5-segment moving dot indicator displays the relative target position between 0 m and 4.0 m
(0 ft and 13.1 ft). The maximum recommended far limit position is 3.0 m (9.84 ft).
5. If the target is positioned between 3.0 and 4.0 m (9.84 ft to 13.1 ft), the 5th segment of the moving dot indicator flashes to
indicate that a valid echo is received, but the target is beyond the recommended 3.0 m (9.84 ft) maximum far limit.
6. If a limit is rejected during either programming step, the sensor reverts to the first limit programming step. This is indicated
by the green LED (OFF), red LED (flashing to indicate signal strength), and the amber LED (ON).
7. If both limits are accepted, the sensor returns to Run mode, which is indicated by the green LED (ON).
8. If the target is held at the same position for programming of both limits, the sensor establishes a 50 mm wide sensing
window, centered on the target position.
