The DSS 015 is a compact smart distance sensor using ultrasonic time-of-flight measurement for distance and level monitoring, capable of detecting transparent objects and unaffected by lighting conditions. It features an IO-Link interface for easy integration with control systems, operates on 24 V DC, and has a measurement range of 0.3 m to 4 m with ±2 % tolerance. The sensor has an IP40 protection rating, plastic housing compliant with UL94 V-0, and is mounted via M4 or M3 screws. Its dimensions are 3.9 in height, 1.4 in width, and 1.1 in depth, with a weight of 1.4 oz. The connection is a shielded 4-pin M12 A-coded plug per IEC 61076-2-101. Operating temperature ranges from -13 °F to 158 °F, with storage temperatures from -40 °F to 185 °F and humidity up to 90 % rF. Power consumption is 0.6 W.
The compact distance smart sensor determines the distance to objects using ultrasonic waves and the principle of time-of-flight measurement (ToF). It is suitable for numerous applications in the areas of distance and level monitoring. In contrast to other distance measuring methods (e.g., measuring with laser), the DSS 015 detects even transparent objects such as glass, foil and liquids and is insensitive to changing light conditions. The IO-Link interface makes it very easy to connect to higher-level control systems (e.g., PLC).
