The LTX R10 SSI is a magnetostrictive Linear Displacement Transducer (EZ-track) for highly accurate continuous machine
positioning in a variety of industrial applications.
The LTX R10 SSI provides a Synchronous Serial Interface output signal that is proportional to the position of the magnet
assembly along the length of the probe.
This sensor is built to withstand the most severe environmental conditions and is completely absolute. This means that power
loss will not cause the unit to lose position information or require re-zeroing. The non-contact design allows this device to be
used in highly repetitive applications without mechanical wear.
Features
The LTX R10 SSI has auto-tuning capability. This is the ability to sense a magnet other than the standard ring magnet and
adjust its signal strength accordingly.
There is an indicator LED that is located at the connector end of the probe and provides visual status information regarding
the operation of the probe. Green indicates proper or normal operation. Red indicates the loss of the magnetic signal or a
probe failure. When the probe is in the normal mode of operation, the LED will remain illuminated green continuously.
LED Colors*
Green
Magnet is present and within the active range.
Red
Fault, the EZ-track has lost its signal from the magnet or the
magnet has moved into the Null Zone or Dead Band.
*Refer to diagnostics on page 13 for a complete list of LED colors and
functions.
NOTE:
The series number on your EZ-track is a record of all the specific characteristics that make up your unit. This includes what
interface type it has, its output signal and range, the type of connector the unit uses, and stroke length. For a translation of
the model number, see Section 3.5 Part Number Key.
