sensors and
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.

to optimize performance
• Temperature compensated
Packaging & Performance
• Quick mounting
• Durable sealed housing for wet
or dirty applications
• Short & overload protected I/O
• Multi-sensor synchronization
• Adjustable sensitivity
• Rear status indicators (3)
Free Functionality
Use 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!
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 serial
data interface there are two
SenixVIEW selected outputs
that can be analogs or switches
to suit your application. All
outputs have configurable features including ranges, target
responses and time delays.
Voltage & Current Loop
Select voltage, current or both in
standard (0-10 VDC, 4-20 mA)
or custom ranges. The outputs
are fully configurable and the
analog slope can be positive or
negative with distance.
Switches
One or two switches can be
selected. Either or both can be
"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.
Distance-Proximity
Several push-button "teach"
features also provide common
adjustments without the PC.
Stock, repairs, OEMs
Flexible configuration means
fewer parts to stock and quick
duplication! Higher volume
OEM options are available.
