Safety
instructions
If total failure or malfunction of the sensor can cause danger or
injury to the operator or damage to the machinery or equipment
it is recommended that additional safety measures should be
incorporated into the system.
Any alteration, reconstruction or extension of the sensor is not
allowed.
Sensor must be operated only within values specied in the
datasheet.
Connection to power supply must be performed in accordance
with safety instructions for electrical facilities and performed
only by trained staff.
Disregard of this advice can lead to malfunctions, damage to
property or personal injury and releases the manufacturer from
product liability.
Crossing the dew point must be avoided.

Intended use
Unintended use
The position sensor was intended for linear position measurement,
when properly mounted and used in the properly rated ambient
atmospheric and technical conditions for which the sensor is
designated.
Theunintendeduseiswhenthesensorisusedoutsideitsspecied
technical and ambient atmospheric conditions or when improperly
mounted.

description
The purpose of position sensors is to transform position of a linear and
guided movement into an electrical signal. Specications of measuring
range,environment,handlingandconnectionsasspeciedinthecatalog,
must be followed.
The catalog is part of this instruction manual. If the catalog is not available
it may be requested by stating the respective model number.
The Operating Principle
Linearmotionofthemeasuringcable(exiblestainlesssteel)isconverted
into rotation by means of a precision cable drum. A spring motor provides
torque for the cable retraction. Special design assures precise and repro-
ducible winding of the measuring cable.
Cable extraction or retraction is transformed into an electrical signal.
Depending on application different sensing elements are used.
Optional: Subsequent signal conditioners convert the signal of the sen-
sing element into voltage, current, or digital pulses suitable for standard
interfaces.

Measuring range corresponds to the
electrical measuring range
(e.g.4...20mA).

Delivery /
shipment
Unpacking Do not unpack sensor by pulling ca-
ble or cable clip.
Shipment damages Check sensor immediately for ship-
ping damage.
Shipment protection loop Do not remove until mounting.
(nottobeconfusedwiththe  (preventscablemovementbefore
mounting loop below!) mounting)
In case of any damage or equipment not operating appropriately, please
contact supplier or ASM GmbH Moosinning. To avoid shipment damages,
use original protection facilities and original packing for further shipment.

Instruction Manual
Do not damage cable!
Cable must not be oiled or lubricated!
Do not snap cable!
Do not travel over range!
Do not crack cable!
Cabletravelshouldbeaxialtothecableoutlet
- no misalignment allowed!
Do not drag cable along objects!
Precautions
Do not let snap the cable
Uncontrolled retraction of cable may damage sensor.
No warranty will be granted for snapped cables.
Mounting hints for unfavourable conditions
Ifpossiblefastencablexingwithcableinretractedposition.
Forexample,tamountingloop(seediagram)andputitaroundyourwrist.
Do not remove the mounting loop before the cable ist fastened.
The cable clip may be opened for easy attachment.
Mounting
To ensure proper operation, install the sensor only as described in this
manual.

Installation Installation position
Cable travel should only be axial to the cable outlet
- no misalignment is allowed.
Cable misalignment shortens service life of sensor and causes error
in measurement. Warranty will not be granted for damage caused by
misalignment.
Ifcabletravelaxialtothecableoutletisnotpossible,thecableguidewheel
SR2(accessories)mustbeusedinordertoturnthecable.
For special applications extension cables with clips on both ends are
available.
Fitting the sensor
Depending upon the sensor model, holes in the base plate, threads or T-
slots in the sensor housing enable attachment of the sensor. Dimensions
required are listed in the catalog.
Cable attachment device
For fastening the cable clip the following solutions are available. For
example:
a)SetscrewM5:   Standardxing.
(Allenscrew)
b)AttachmentheadGK1/GK2: Fastcableattachment,easyto
(accessory)   remove.
c) Magnetic clamp MAG1: An easy way to fasten the cable to
(accessory)   ferromagneticmaterials.
The mounting of the M4 connection is made with a through hole and a M4
nut. Note: Do not screw the M4 connection itself into a stationary object,
otherwise the measuring cable will be twisted!
Cable clip attachment
When fastening the cable clip take notice of the chapter Installation / Pre-
cautions(page8).
This prevents cable from damage,
soiling and manipulation.
Soaking of liquids into the cable out-
let is impossible, concentration of
condensing water will be avoided.
This prevents sensor from bending
and damage.
Covered or shielded travel of cable
is preferred.
Cable outlet is preferred pointing
downwards.
Fit sensor on plain base or use three-
point mounting on uneven surfaces.
