Gocator 1100 & 1300 Series
Electrical Safety
Sensors should be connected to earth ground
All sensors should be connected to earth ground through their housing. All sensors should be mounted
on an earth grounded frame using electrically conductive hardware to ensure the housing of the sensor
is connected to earth ground. Use a multi-meter to check the continuity between the sensor connector
and earth ground to ensure a proper connection.
Minimize voltage potential between system ground and sensor ground
Care should be taken to minimize the voltage potential between system ground (ground reference for
I/O signals) and sensor ground. This voltage potential can be determined by measuring the voltage
between
Analog_out-
and
system ground
. The maximum permissible voltage potential is 12 V but should
be kept below 10 V to avoid damage to the serial and encoder connections. Refer to Gocator 1100 and
1300 I/O Connector (page 226) for a description of connector pins.
Use a suitable power supply
The +24 to +48 VDC power supply used with Gocator sensors should be an isolated supply with inrush
current protection or be able to handle a high capacitive load.
Use care when handling powered devices
Wires connecting to the sensor should not be handled while the sensor is powered. Doing so may cause
electrical shock to the user or damage to the equipment.
!
Failure to adhere to the guidelines described in this section may result in electrical shock or equipment
damage.
