U-GAGE
These figures reflect the following assumptions:
• Objects have square (not radiused) corners,
• Sensors are optimally aligned,
• Objects pass through the sensing area midway between the emitter and receiver (i.e. at D/2)*,
• Operating conditions are stable, with minimal air turbulence.
* In general, the minimum object width and minimum object spacing will decrease if the object
Individual results may differ based on ambient operating conditions, alignment, and the
geometry of the objects to be detected.

analyze the received ultrasonic signal and control an indicator LED located on the back of the receiver. The receiver LED flashes at a rate
proportional to the received sonic signal strength. This indicator greatly simplifies sensor alignment and alerts personnel to marginal sensing
conditions due to gradual misalignment or environmental factors. The receiver is precisely tuned to the ultrasonic emitter, making this sensor
pair highly immune to both sonic and electrical ambient noise.
T18U receivers may be wired for either of two resolution modes: NORMAL or HIGH. The modes are selected by the polarity of the supply
voltage (see hookup diagrams, page 4). The NORMAL resolution mode offers a sensing range of 600 mm (24") and maximizes sensing
energy, as is required in demanding environments. The HIGH resolution mode yields a sensing range of up to 300 mm (12") and maximizes
sensing response, as is needed in high-speed counting applications.
Opposed mode ultrasonics are very useful for highly reliable sensing of clear materials, which is always a challenge for photoelectric modes.
T18U Series ultrasonic sensors are designed for demanding sensing environments. Housings are tough, NEMA 6P-rated PBT. Electronics are
epoxy encapsulated. The acoustic face of both emitter and receiver are epoxy-reinforced for extreme durability and moisture resistance.
