7. The analog voltage interface
The analog interface on the main connector produces a linear voltage of between 0.00 V and 2.56 V that is proportional to the
closest measured distance. A distance reading of zero meters always produces a 0 V output.
Figure 8 :: Analog voltage connections
The “5: Analog port update rate” setting allows the output rate of the analog port to be set to any value within the limits imposed by
the snapshot resolution. Values will be rounded in order to give whole number divisors of 3052 and limited automatically if they are
too high for the resolution selected.
The “6: Analog maximum range” selection changes the value in meters that equates to 2.56 V. This can be either: 128 m, 64 m,
32 m, 16 m or 8m depending upon the requirements of the application.

Description
5. Analog port
update rate
@ 1.00 m
10 ... 3052 / sec
Sets the rate at which the analog port and the alarm signal are
updated with distance readings.
The actual value may be lower than the entered value depending
on the setting “2: Snapshot resolution”.
Only whole number fractions of 3052 will give an exact match
between the entered and actual values.
@ 0.50 m
10 ... 1526 / sec
@ 0.25 m
10 ... 763 / sec
@ 0.03 m
10 ... 95 / sec
@Filter
10 ... 95 / sec
6: Analog maximum range
128 m <-> 64 m <->
32 <->
16 m <-> 8 m
Selects the maximum distance that produces 2.56 V on the analog
port. This value changes the scale of the analog output.
