The RPS-150 is a self-contained, wide beam
angle ultrasonic sensor. The advantage of this sensor
is that the target does not have to be at right angles
with the sensor in order to be detected. A flat target
can tilt up to 35 degrees and still be detected. For setup purposes an LED indicator is provided. When in
the non-detect state the LED is Green and when in the
detect state the LED is Red.The RPS-150 can be
operated in two modes: a proximity and a hysteresis
mode, described below. The frequency of operation
is 38.5kHz. There are two ranges available in this
model: 2" to 40" or 5" to 80". The sensor is available
with a 120VAC power input or a 20 - 30VDC input. It

also features a quick disconnect receptacle. The
housing is constructed of plastic valox and has standard 30mm X 60mm limit switch mounting dimensions, as well as side holes for mounting the sensor
on its side. The output consists of two solid state
relays N.O. N.C., and can switch 2 - 130VAC or VDC
up to 100mA DC or 50mA AC continuous. The relay
outputs are short circuit protected and isolated up to
1500 volts rms.

Hysteresis Detection

Proximity Detection

Proximity Detection
Proximity detection is the detection of an object at a given
distance. The detection range of the RPS-150 is controlled by the
"Range Control" potentiometer. Any object within the desired
range is detected, while objects out of range are ignored. The
range of the RPS-150 is either 2" to 40" or 5" to 80". This means
that in the proximity mode the object will be detected from
whatever detect point is set to the minimum sensing range of the
sensor, either 2" or 5". The hysteresis control potentiometer
needs to be off by turning the pot counterclockwise.
