SONOCONTROL 14
Type of equipment SONOCONTROL 14 Type 1, Type 2, Type 3, Type 4, Type 7:
ultrasonic position switch for
- piston detection in piston accumulators (without piston pole)
- piston detection in hydraulic cylinders
- level control
Sensor construction Compact sensor unit, consisting of sensor element and
evaluation electronics
Measuring principle Contactless ultrasonic impulse echo method
- no contact between sensor and liquid
- no structural changes of the piston accumulator necessary,
since it measures from the outside through the wall
Operating mode / 1 sensor single operating mode
Number of sensors 2 sensors synchronous operating mode
Measuring frequency Max. 155 Hz
Attachment at the Mounting at required position with mounting plate + tightening
cylinder/vessel strap + lock
Coupling Coupling with coupling medium to cylinder / vessel
Reproducibility Static 1 mm (at same conditions of measurement)
Specified and (feasible) Type 1, Type 2 and Type 7:
cylinder/vessel External diameter: (60) 98 … 600 (950) mm

Type 3 and Type 4:
External diameter: (150) 200 … 950 (1600) mm
Internal diameter: (120) 160 … 800 (1500) mm
Hydraulic fluid Mineral oil (HL, HLP), HFA, (HFB), HFC, HFD
water and water-like liquids, 20 µm purity
Max. absolute viscosity 100 cSt for Type 1, Type 2, Type 7

SONOCONTROL 14
Connections Sensor plug-in connector M12 (Type 1, 3, 7) for censor cable
with elbow plug connector or fixed cable (Type 2, 4)
Cable, 4-pole without shielding
Brown: positive operating voltage 18 ... 30 VDC
Blue: negative operating voltage (GND)
Black: switching output
White: synchronisation,
serial programming for configuration
Sensor cable length Type 1, 3, 7: 5 (or 10) meters with elbow plug connector
Type 2, 4: 5 meters of fixed cable
Switching point indicator Type 1, 3, 7: Integrated LED within elbow plug connector
Type 2, 4: Externally only
Temperature range Temperature of cylinder or vessel: -20 ... +80 °C
Ambient temperature: -20 ... +60 °C
Storage temperature: -40 ... +85 °C
Attention: The range of working temperature is further
restricted by the absolute viscosity.
