Product Overview
Banner K50UX2ARA industrial ultrasonic proximity and distance sensor. Measures distance from the sensor face to a target using ultrasonic time-of-flight and communicates as a Modbus RTU slave over RS-485. Intended for systems using Banner MultiHop radios, Snap Signal hardware, or DXM series controllers with Modbus RTU integration.
Key Features
- Communication: RS-485 Modbus RTU (Modbus RTU slave)
- Sensing range: 100 mm to 1000 mm (1 m max), 100 mm minimum dead zone
- Ultrasonic frequency: 224 kHz
- Environmental ratings: IP67 and NEMA 6P
- Operating temperature: -40 C to +70 C
- Mechanical interface: 1.25 in NPT threaded base and M50 x 1.5 barrel thread
- Cable/connector: 230 mm pigtail with 5-pin M12 Euro-style male quick disconnect
- Key incompatibility: not compatible with 1-Wire Serial interface nodes (requires UX1 series for 1-Wire)
Applications
- Remote or mobile tank level monitoring within a 1 m range
- Material handling distance measurement and position feedback
- Industrial process monitoring in washdown or outdoor environments
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a Modbus RTU sensor or a 1-Wire Serial sensor?
Modbus RTU over RS-485. The UX1 series is used for 1-Wire Serial systems.
What is the sensing range for this model?
100 mm to 1000 mm (1 m max), with a 100 mm minimum dead zone.
What connector and cable style does it use?
230 mm pigtail cable with a 5-pin M12 Euro-style male quick disconnect.
What are the environmental ratings?
IP67 and NEMA 6P.
What must match for compatibility?
Your system must support RS-485 Modbus RTU and be configured to read a Modbus RTU slave device.
