High Frequency Ultrasonic Sensor UM0017-000 is a non-contact detect device with high accuracy. This product is installed un-
der the bottom of containers, so it can prevent the detected object from polluting. It features in high accuracy, high sensitivity, excel-
lent directivity, stability and reliability, and it is waterproof. It has been widely used as a drinking water level meter.
Application
Used to detect level of normal temperature liquid and the liquid levels in drinking fountains, or other storage containers.
HVAC, Sewage treatment, Food processing, Process controls and other applications where particles could be in the water or liquid.

Output Protocols
The data of the sensor consists of boot code 0xFF (DATA1), distance signal (DATA2+DATA3) and Last Frame 0x00 (DATA4)
It transfers the low 8 bits data3 first, then transfers the high 8 bits data2.
Shown as drawing 2:
Among which: DATA2 DATA3 is sixteen-bit binary code: 0000 0000 0000 0000-0000 0001 1001 0000
Corresponding decimal values: 0mm-400mm

The timing length of each data bit is 104us, i.e. baud rate is 9600BPS. The data output form: low level start bit + eight-digit bit +
high level end bit (no parity). Shown as drawing 3

Example:
The received data is: DATA1=1111 1111, DATA2=0000 0001, DATA3=0001 0100, DATA4=0000 0000
Convert to decimal value, the distance value is: 276mm

It shows
“0”
when the machine is started up and there is no water. After filling water for a continuous time, if it still shows
“0”
or there is no value that shows up, it can be caused by the failure of detector. The user should immediately be alarmed and take
corresponding action, this product has no self-check function, the user can adjust it according to his request when designs the
product.
This product calculates the distance based on the conditions of environment temperature of 30 °C, relative humidity 50%, it can
meet the accuracy to be ±5mm in the full measurement range. As ultrasonic sensor is sensitive to temperature, to guarantee the
accuracy in temperature usage range, it has to add temperature compensation accordingly. Reference the temperature compen-
sation table as below
