NOTICE
Use only the same magnet type for multi-position
measurement!
4.3 Multi-position measurement distances
Multi-position measurement with G-Series GP / GH sensors
and Start / Stop output is possible, with a simultaneous
measuring up to 9 positions
The stroke length influences the maximum number of mag-
nets. Note the minimum distance between the magnets.
G-Series GP with U-magnet
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
G-Series GP with block magnet
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
G-Series GH with block magnet
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
G-Series GP with magnet slider »S«, »N«, »V«, »G«
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
G-Series GH with ring- / U-magnet
≥ 75 (≥ 3)
Placement of installation and cabling have decisive influence
on the sensor’s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Hence
correct installation of this active electronic system and the
EMC of the entire system must be ensured by using suitable
metal connectors, shielded cables and grounding. Overvolt-
ages or faulty connections can damage its electronics despite
protection against wrong polarity.
NOTICE
Never connect / disconnect the sensor when voltage is
applied.
NOTICE
Do not mount the sensors in an area of strong magnetic or
electric noise fields.
Sensors must be grounded via ground lug on the sensor
electronics housing.
Instructions for connection
• Use low-resistant twisted pair and shielded cables. Connect
the shield to ground externally via the controller equipment.
• Keep control and signal cables separate from power cables
and sufficiently far away from motor cables, frequency
inverters, valve lines, relays, etc..
• Use only connectors with metal housing and connect the
shielding to the connector housing.
• Keep the connection surface at both shielding ends as
large as possible. Connect the cable clamps to function as
a ground.
• Keep all non-shielded leads as short as possible.
• Keep the earth connection as short as possible with a large
cross section. Avoid ground loops.
• With potential differences between machine and electronics
earth connections, no compensating currents are allowed
to flow across the cable shielding.
Recommendation:
Install potential compensating leads with large cross
section, or use cables with separate double shielding,
and connect only one end of the shield.
• Use only stabilized power supplies in compliance with the
specified electrical ratings.
