Operation
During set up and operation of the XX ultrasonic sensor continually and accurately measures the elapsed
time of every pulse echo reception after each pulse transmission. The transmitted pulse starts a clock to
register the elapsed time for the received echoes. Given the elapsed time, the sensor software calculates
the distance traveled to the object of surface and back to the sensor, using a D=TVs/2, D= Distance from
the sensor to the object; T = Elapsed time between the pulse transmission and its echo reception, Vs =
the Velocity of sound, approximately 1100 feet per second.
While the sensor is in operation, the calculated distance (D) between the sensor and the object is
compared to the distances associated with the fixed window limits. These limits are shown in the
illustration above as Dwi and Dwo. If D is within these limits, an output is generated. The output remains
on until the echo does not return or it returns from outside the window limits.
Normally open operation diagrams shown below for all the XX Ultrasonic ranges.

Beam Plots
The beam plots below, were developed from data collected at 20 °C and zero air flow, which defines the
boundaries and shape of the sonic beams shown for the XX ultrasonic sensor range. The boundaries
were established using a 10 cm x 10 cm target positioned parallel to the sensor face, moved in and out
of the sensors operating range.
