FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Technical Specifications:

Q: What are the dual analog output types and their respective load impedance limits?

A: Outputs are 4 to 20 mA current (less than 500 Ohm load) and 0 to 10 V voltage (greater than 1000 Ohm load).

Wiring & Installation:

Q: What is the purpose of the synchronization input and its required pulse duration?

A: Synchronization prevents mutual interference, requiring a pulse duration greater than or equal to 100 microseconds.

Troubleshooting & Compatibility:

Q: What do the solid red LED and flashing red LED indicators signify for troubleshooting?

A: Solid red indicates the temperature or program plug is not connected, while flashing red indicates a fault.

Replacement & Upgrades:

Q: Are there IO-Link versions available in the UC500 family that share the same sensing range?

A: Yes, models like the UC500-30GM-IUEP-IO-V15 offer IO-Link with the same 30 to 500 mm sensing range.
