U-GAGE Q45U Long-Range Ultrasonic Sensors
1. Either the near or far limit may be programmed first.
2. There is a 2-minute timeout for programming of the first limit. The sensor returns to Run mode with the previously
programmed limits. There is no timeout between the programming of the first and second limit.
3. Cancel the programming sequence at any time by pressing and holding the Limits button for ≥ 2 seconds. The sensor
returns to Run mode with the previously programmed limits.
4. During limit programming, the 5-segment moving dot indicator displays the relative target position between 0 m and 4.0 m
(0 ft and 13.1 ft). The maximum recommended far limit position is 3.0 m (9.84 ft).
5. If the target is positioned between 3.0 and 4.0 m (9.84 ft to 13.1 ft), the 5th segment of the moving dot indicator flashes to
indicate that a valid echo is received, but the target is beyond the recommended 3.0 m (9.84 ft) maximum far limit.
6. If a limit is rejected during either programming step, the sensor reverts to the first limit programming step. This is indicated
by the green LED (OFF), red LED (flashing to indicate signal strength), and the amber LED (ON).
7. If both limits are accepted, the sensor returns to Run mode, which is indicated by the green LED (ON).
8. If the target is held at the same position for programming of both limits, the sensor establishes a 50 mm wide sensing
window, centered on the target position.

Application Notes
Minimum target size: 50 mm × 50 mm aluminum plate at 3.0 m (118 in)
Enable/Disable: Connect the yellow wire to +5 to 24 V dc to enable the
sensor and 0 to +2 V dc to disable the sensor. When the sensor is disabled,
the last output state is held until the sensor is re-enabled. Hold the wire to
the appropriate voltage for at least 40 ms to enable or disable the sensor.
