Echo Detect Monitor Output This outputis a peak detection of the ultrasonic signals produced by the M 5000 It includes the transmit burst atthe beginning of the waveform followed by the reflected signal from the target Other signals after the first return echo may also be present These are called multiple echoes and are reflections to and from the target and the sensor Only the first target signal is used This signal can best be observed on a scope by using the TRIGGER pulse provided at the TRIGGER I O line TRIGGER mode programmed for INTERNAL WITH TRIGGER OUT The duration of the multiple echo signals can be used to determine the Sample Rate in a multi M 5000 applications Cable length for this signal is limited to 10 feet __ LED Operation Diagnostics There are three operating modes indicated by the LED on the status of the M 5000 sensor 1 Continuously ON Normal operation when an echo is detected within the specified sensing distances 2 ON with short blink OFF Normal operation when no echo is detected within the specified sensing distances and after the expiration of No Echo Time Out 3 Equal rapid ON and OFF System fault Source of fault will be communicated to the PC and displayed in the message area of the M 5000 Status and Setup Screen Installation amp Operation Guide 6 MassaSonic M 5000 Smart Ultrasonic Sensor MASSA PRODUCTS CORPORATION November 1 2004 4 installing M 5000 Status amp Setup Softwar
