Measurement
sensors with
SenixVIEW software put the power of ultrasonics in your hands yet retain the
simplicity of push-button TEACH
setup. You can quickly adjust, optimize, save and clone your applications without calibration!
ToughSonic sensors contain
a rugged transducer potted in a
stainless steel housing for long
life.
Outputs respond to measured
distance and non-contact technology means nothing touches your
materials.
Many applications exist in all
industries. Contact Senix today to
discuss your specific needs.
SenixVIEW PC
Software included!
PC Setup Power!
Multiple Outputs
Distance Measurements
• Long range, short dead band
• Unaffected by optical factors
like color and transparency
• PC or button “teachable” setup
• Narrow beam with adjustments
to optimize performance
• Temperature compensated
Use SenixVIEW software (see
separate data sheet) to select
and adjust all interfaces, timing
parameters, filters and modes.
Then view, analyze or log data
to optimize your application.
In addition to the model's RS-232
or RS-485 serial data interface
there are five simultaneous
outputs, fully configurable with
SenixVIEW.
Free Functionality using adjustable interface features like
switch hysteresis and time
delays to build complete solutions such as pump or material
flow controllers. Save cost by
eliminating PLCs, delay circuits
and time delay relays!

TSPC-15S Series
Distance-Proximity
Analog Outputs (3) include 0-10
VDC and dual 4-20 mA
current loops (sinking and
sourcing). These outputs have
user-selectable voltage/current
ranges, adjustable endpoint
distances, slope reversal, timing
parameters and much more.
Flexible configuration means
fewer parts to stock and quick
duplication! Higher volume
OEM options are available.
Switches (2) are SenixVIEW configurable as "PNP" or "NPN" type
(sourcing or sinking). Each has
adjustable set point, hysteresis,
window, initial conditions, ON
delay, OFF delay and loss of target
response for ultimate flexibility.
Push-button "teach" features
provide for several common
adjustments when a PC is not
available.
