SICK UM30-214111 Distance Sensor Ultrasonic 1 PNP 350 -5000mm Range M12 5-Pin, UM30 Series

The universal application solver
The UM30 product family provides a variety of flexible options. Sensing ranges up to 8 m, as well as various setup options, enable these sensors to solve nearly any application. Its high measurement accuracy due to internal temperature compensation along with the color independent detection of objects, immunity to dirt and dust, and a high operational temperature range up to 70 C, enable reliable operation even under the most challenging conditions.

The sensor emits an sonic pulse that is reflected by the object
being detected. The time required for the pulse to go from the
sensor to the object and come back again is measured and
evaluated and converted into the distance as follows.
Distance = speed of sound x total sonic time of flight (t2)

Sensing ranges of ultrasonic sensors
In general on ultrasonic sensors, the less sound the object
being measured absorbs, the greater the possible sensing
range. The operating range specifies the distance up to which
measurement on common objects with sufficient functional
reserves is possible. Under ideal conditions, the sensor can
even be used up to its limiting range.
Switch panels are used for ideal assessment of application
capability. The dark-blue area found on these switch panels
shows the typical working range of the sensor. The light-blue
area shows the maximum detection range which can be
achieved under ideal conditions for easily detectable objects.
This area between the sensor and the object being measured
should be kept free of other objects to prevent them from being
detected accidently.
The detectability and detection range of an object depend on
its reflective properties, size and alignment. Depending on the
application, the sensor may also be able to detect very small
objects, e.g. metal wire
