The sks sensor
is the smallest cuboidal ultrasonic sensor from microsonic and features a housing design reduced by 33% compared to the zws sensors.

The miniature housing of the sks ultrasonic sensor fits in constricted installation locations e.g. for sampling conductor boards and wafer in the electronics industry, for presence checks on conveyor bands or fill-level measurement in small containers. When capacitive or optical sensors come up against their physical limits, installation compatibility of ultrasonic sensors with many optical sensors enable their deployment: simply secured with two M3 screw sockets.
For the sks sensor family
three output versions are available:
1 Push-Pull switching output with IO-Link interface
1 switching output, optionally in pnp- or npn-circuitry
1 analogue output 4–20 mA or 0–10 VThe temperature compensation
of the analogue sensors profits from a significant improvement. The sensors reach their operating point only 45 seconds after activation of the operating voltage. We now compensate for the influence of self-heating and installation conditions. This brings improved precision shortly after activation of the supply voltage and in running operation.
The Teach-in button
on the top of the sensor allows for the convenient configuration of the desired switching distance and operating mode.
Two LEDs
show the operating state of the sensor.
The sks sensor with switching output has three operating modes:
- Single switching point,
- Two-way reflective barrier and
- Window mode
The switching output is set by
positioning the object to be detected within the desired distance (1) to the sensor, pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 1 second. Ready.
A two-way reflective barrier
can be set up with the help of a permanently mounted reflector by mounting the sks sensor and the reflector. Then press the button for approx. 3 seconds and then pressing it once more for approx. 10 seconds. Now, the two-way reflective barrier has been set.
Set the analogue output
by initally positioning the object to the detected on the sensor-close window limit (1), pressing the button for approx. 3 seconds, shifting the object to the sensor-distant window limit and pressing the button once more for approx. 1 second. Ready.
To set a window
with 2 switching points, proceed in the same way as for an analogue output.
NCC/NOC
and rising/ falling analogue characteristic curve can also be set using the button.
SoundPipe sks1
intensively bundles the sound field and allows measurements in openings with small diameters. The SoundPipe sks1 (accessory) is pushed on the transducer of the sks.
IO-Link integrated
in version 1.1 for sensors with Push-Pull output. The sks-15/CF/A supports the Smart Sensor Profile.
