The DataSensing US50 Series is a range of long‑range industrial ultrasonic sensors housed in a robust M50 plastic tubular body designed for precise non‑contact object detection and distance measurement up to 8000 mm (8 meters), making it suitable for demanding applications in automation, material handling, level monitoring and large‑scale positioning tasks. These sensors use time‑of‑flight ultrasonic technology with a radial emission head that enables wide‑area detection and consistent performance regardless of target colour, transparency or surface finish. Set‑up and configuration is simplified with Teach‑in programming and a sealed bank of DIP switches accessible through a rear cover for adjusting sensing windows, timing and output responses.
Variants in the US50 Series offer flexible output configurations including digital bipolar PNP/NPN (NO/NC) configurable outputs and analog outputs (0‑10 V or 4‑20 mA) for continuous distance feedback, allowing integration with PLCs and control systems. The series features temperature compensation to maintain accuracy across industrial temperature ranges, high repeatability (≈ 1 mm) and adjustable response times from about 100 ms to 1600 ms, and rugged construction for reliable use in harsh environments.
