MicroDetector Ultrasonic Sensor Program Teach Block (lockout)

In this video, we show how to unlock and lock the programming functions in a MicroDetector ultrasonic sensor with a teach button. We are using one of our UK series of sensors in this video. If the sensor is new, it should be unlocked. In this example, we will demonstrate how to unlock the sensor first, then how to lock the sensor. The sensor can be unlocked by following the Teach Block printed instructions.

00:36 - In order to unlock the sensor so that parameters can be changed, press and hold the teach button for 12 seconds. At 8 seconds, the sensor yellow LEDs start blinking for configuration setup. Continue to hold the button for 4 more seconds until the LEDs blink more rapidly. Now release the button and the yellow LEDs will blink slower, then stop to confirm the change. The sensor is now unlocked, and changes can be made. As you can see, we can program the sensor’s target. To lock the sensor, follow the same method by press and holding the teach button for twelve seconds until the LEDs flash as shown. Now, we are unable to make changes to the sensor setup.
