4 Configuring the analog output
4.1 Automatic signal detection
The sensor can automatically detect which signal is required by means of the connected output load
(see Chapter 9 "Technical data")
The following information applies:
4 mA to 20 mA < 500 ohms at Uv > 15 V
■
4 mA to 20 mA < 350 ohms at Uv > 12 V
■
0 V to 10 V > 750 ohms at Uv ≥ 14 V
■
Configuration
Access the menu QAMENU-Typ using the arrow and the Set pushbuttons and configure Auto?
■
Note: Automatic signal detection is only active at the initial start. This fuction can be activated
■
again in the menu QAMENU-Typ with Auto?
4.2 Current output 4-20 mA
Configuration
Set upper limit value (20 mA)
■
In the QAMENU-QAHIGH menu, set the value to the level height in mm (e.g., 500 mm)
○
Set lower limit value (4 mA)
■
In the QAMENU-QALOW menu, set the value to the level height in mm (e.g., 10 mm)
○
Invert signal
■
The analog signal can be inverted in the QAPOL menu
○
Set parameter to QA-Inv in the QxMENU-QAPOL menu
○
QA-NRM = Analog output signal as configured
▫
QA-INV = Analog output signal is inverted: QAHigh 4 mA and QALow 20 mA
▫
Select electrical signal
■
Set parameter to 4-20 mA in the QxMENU-QATYP menu
○
4.3 Voltage output 0-10 V
Configuration
Set upper limit value (10 V)
■
In the QAMENU-QAHigh menu, set the value to the level height in mm (e.g., 500 mm)
○
Set lower limit value (0 V)
■
In the QAMENU-QALow menu, set the value to the level height in mm (e.g., 10 mm)
○
Invert signal
■
The analog signal can be inverted in the QAPOL menu
○
Set parameter to QA-Inv in the QxMenu-QAPOL menu
○
QA-Nrm = Analog output signal as configured
▫
QA-Inv = Analog output signal is inverted: QAHigh 0 V and QALow 10 V
▫
Select electrical signal
■
Set parameter to 0-10 V in the QxMenu-QATYP menu
