MH series sensors are designed for hydraulic cylinders. With the digital output configuration they are qualified to operate on
electronic controls of mobile machines. Sensors with different bus protocols CANopen, CANopen Safety and SAE J 1939 are suitable for net-
work applications on vehicles.
3. Safety and operating instructions
Before starting the sensors operation, please, read this documentation carefully and follow the safety instructions. This technical documenta-
tion provides information on the mechanical installation of Temposonics
®
sensors by qualified personnel* or trained service technicians who
are familiar with sensor projecting and handling.
Intended use
Temposonics
®
MH series sensors are designed to use on mobile machines or vehicles with a battery power supply (12/24VDC).
The sensors are built acc. to actual electrical engineering standards and meet the state of technology. EMC requirements for inter-
ference emission and immunity for mobile machines and vehicles fulfilled. Technical rules and notes for installation and operation
in vehicle electronics to keep in mind.
The sensors are intended for measuring tasks in the field of mobile hydraulics. They are considered as accessories and must be connected to
suitable evaluation electronics, e.g. a PLC, IPC, indicator or another type of electronic control unit.
As a prerequisite to ensure perfect and safe sensor operation, correct transport, storage, mounting, commissioning and careful operation are
mandatory. The sensors may be used only in safe condition. To maintain this condition and ensure safe operation, installation, connection and
service work may be performed only by qualified and authorized personnel.
Information related to danger
Information related to danger is intended for your personal safety and for the safety of the described product or connected equipment against
damage.
Installation and operation
If failure or functional disorder of the sensors cause danger for persons or imply a hazard of damage to operating facilities, additional safety
measures such as plausibility checks, limit switches, EMERGENCY OFF systems, protective devices, etc. must be provided to prevent it. In the
event of trouble, shut down the sensor and protect it against unauthorized operation.
To maintain the sensor operability, it is indispensable to observe the following information:
- Protect the sensor against mechanical damage during installation and operation.
- Don‘t open or dismantle the sensor.
- Connect the sensor carefully and make sure that the polarity of connections, the operating voltage as well as the shape and duration of control
pulses are correct.
- Use only approved power supply units.
- Observing the permissible sensor limit values for operating voltage and environmental conditions etc. as specified in the product documenta-
tion is indispensable.
- Check and document the function of the position sensor regularly.
- Before activating the equipment, make sure that nobody‘s safety is impaired by starting machines.
Repairs
Repairs on the sensor may only be performed by MTS or a body that has been explicitly authorized by MTS.
Warranty
The MTS warranty period for the sensors and the accessories included in the scope of supplies in the event of material defects and faults oc-
curred although the intended use has been observed is 12 months from the reception of products.
The MTS liability is limited to repair or replacement for every defective component of the unit. Warranty for defects due to incorrect use or ex-
cessive strain of the product as well as for wear parts is excluded. MTS rejects any liability for consequences or side effects in case of violation
of the warranty provisions**, independent of whether warranty has been assured or expected. This is also applicable in the event of an error or
negligence committed by the company. MTS explicitly refrains from making any additional warranty promises. Representatives, agents, dealers
