2 One field comesfrom a movable permanentmagnet that passes along theoutside of the sensor . The otherfield comes from an interroga-tion current pulse applied alongthe waveguide. The resultingstrain pulse travels at ultrasonicspeed along the waveguide andis detected at the head of thesensing element. The position ofthe magnet is determined withhigh precision and speed by accu-rately measuring the elapsed timebetween the application of theinterrogation pulse and the arrivalof the resulting strain pulse with ahigh speed counter. Using theelapsed time to determine positionof the permanent magnet providesan absolute position reading thatnever needs recalibration or re-homing after a power sensing eliminateswear, and guarantees the bestdurability and output variable:DisplacementResolution:Infinite , restricted by output rippleNon-linearity:< full scale , minimum 90 mRepeatability:< full scaleOutputs:0 - 10 Vdc Controller input resistance RL >5 kOhm Update frequency: > kHz Measuring ranges:4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60 conditions:Temperature: - 40 to 75 C (- 40 to +167 F) Relative humidity.

4 TheTemposonics EP2 sensor establishes new performance standardsfor low-cost, fully-industrial, durable position sensors using thewidely preferred magnetostrictive technology. This principle for accurate and non-contact measurement of linear-position sensing was developed 30 years ago by MTS and isused with outstanding success in a large variety of industrial appli-cations. Industrial applications include harsh environmental condi-tions such as presses, injection molding, tire presses, rolling plants,tunnel driving machines and hydraulic E-Series Model EP2 analog output sensors come withintegrated analog conditioning electronics.

5 The sensor can be con-nected to a control system or indicator directly without the need foran additional interface.

Apair (2) of mounting feet are provided with each sensor . Additional mounting feet are providedfor measurement stroke ranges greater than 48 inches. These mounting feet slide onto thesensor via channels in the extrusion and should be evenly distributed along its length.

However, the support bracket can not extend beyond 11 mm ( in.)from thetop of the magnet, unless it is made of non-ferrous magnet should be installed with a perpendicular orientation relative to the top surfaceof the sensor extrusion as shown on page 3.
