Auto

If the yellow and blue wires are both grounded or open when the device is powered on, the device enters Auto mode. In Auto mode the device continuously transmits a burst of 30 pulses at the (Khz) specified 25khz, 40khz, 80khz or 125khz. In manual modes, the user processor has direct control and access to the signal conditioning hardware.

The RX-delay represents the time the receiver is disabled during the burst transmission. This time includes the burst duration. In other words, the Rx-delay sets the limit to how close an object can be to the sensor for detection. 

The sample duration sets the acquisition cycle repetition rate, naturally at 0.033S the rate is set at 30 samples per second.

Analog Signal Out: is fed through a 100nF capacitor, so the signal will oscillate around user specified reference. 

Analog Level Out: The voltage level on this wire is directly proportional to the distance from the sensor to the object responsible for first echo. 

Pulse drive: if the Yellow wire (Direct Drive) is high (~5V) and the Blue Wire (Pulse Drive) is low (~0V) during the power up sequence, the device goes into Pulse Drive Mode. Once in Pulse drive mode, the device will emit pulse train at the frequency specified by (Khz) while the blue wire is high. The pulse train is terminated while the blue wire is low.

Direct Drive: If the blue wire is high (~5V) and the Yellow wire is low (~0V) during device power up sequence, the device will enter Direct Drive Mode. In this mode the user processor can control the pulse train and it’s frequency.

Note:

When using transceivers then connect the shield and core of the Tx and Rx cables together, and connect both to the core and shield of the transceiver. In case hxn125 or hxn80 are being used, the red wire connects to the core and the black wire connects to the shield. Best performance is achieved when the exposed core is as short as possible, and it is a good idea to ground or fix the sensor chassis. Performance will improve significantly if the whole assembly is enclosed in a metal container where the chassis is fixed to ground (shield) potential.
