Product Description
4 Product Description
4.1 Use and Application
The PMI14V-F112-...-U-... inductive positioning system is optimized for highly accurate,
continuous position detection.
Based on the precise evaluation of several coil systems, the device combines a proven
inductive sensor with innovative microcontroller technology.
The compact design of the F112 enables position detection tasks to be carried out in a
noncontact and wear-free process to a measuring length of 14 mm. This includes installation
locations where space is limited.
With its integrated temperature compensation feature, the inductive positioning system is ideal
for use in harsh environments and for critical positioning tasks.
Due to the inductive functional principle, ferrites or magnets are not necessary as a
counterpart. As is the case with an inductive proximity switch, the damping element can be
made of any type of metal.
The benefits of the PMI14V-F112-...-U-... inductive positioning system include:
■ High resolution and accuracy
■ Minimal temperature drift
■ Noncontact operation
■ Measuring range that can be taught in
■ Minimal susceptibility to interference due to the inductive functional principle
The PMI14V-F112-...-U-... inductive positioning system delivers a voltage signal between 0 V
... 10 V at the output that is proportional to the position of the damping element.
4.2 Accessories
Various accessories are available.
4.2.1 Damping lements
We recommend using either the BT-F90-W or BT-F90-G damping element.

Using our Own Damping Element
In principle, it is possible to use your own damping element. The damping element must have
the following properties to be able to make use of the sensor's specified accuracy:
Material: construction steel such as S235JR+AR (previously St37-2)
Dimensions as per BT-F90-W (L x W x H): ≥ 18 mm x 8 mm x ≥ 4 mm
Alternatively, the element must have the same dimensions as the BT-F90-G damping element.

5.1 Safety Information
5.2 Measuring Range of the PMI14V-...-U-...
General
On delivery, the measuring range of the PMI14V-F112-...-U-... is 14 mm. This is indicated by
the framed area at the front of the inductive positioning system.
It is possible to reduce the measuring range by parameterizing the sensor. When adjusting the
measuring range, the end point of the sensor is fixed; it is the starting point of the measuring
range that can be changed.
Figure 5.1
The starting point can be taught in within a range of 0 mm to 7 mm
Caution!
Risk of short circuit
Carrying out work while the system is energized may result in damage to the device.
■ Always disconnect the supply voltage before carrying out work on the device.
■ Only connect the device to the supply voltage once all work has been completed.

Definition of the Measuring Range/Position
The position of the damping element defined by the positioning system relates to half of the
width (center) of the damping element. The measuring range begins and ends with the half
coverage provided by the damping element when moving lengthwise.
Figure 5.2
Operating Instructions
If the damping element leaves the detection range of the positioning system, the last valid value
is retained at the voltage output until the damping element enters the valid area again. This is
illustrated in the figure below.

2. Check that all items are present and correct based on your order and the shipping
documents.
If you have any questions, please contact Pepperl+Fuchs.
3. Keep the original packing material in case you need to store or ship the unit at a later time.
5.4 Mounting
■ A flush mount is possible in metallic and nonmetallic environments
■ The distance between the measuring field (framed area at the front of the sensor) and the
mounting base or fastening screws on the damping element must be at least 3 mm.
Watch out for any protruding metal parts such as screw heads when mounting the device.
■ The damping element must be attached to the sensor at a right angle to guarantee the
relevant measurement accuracy.
■ The distance between the damping element and the sensor can be a maximum of 2.5 mm
and must be at least 1 mm.

5.5 Connection
Connecting the Supply Voltage
To supply voltage to the sensor, proceed as follows:
1. Insert the prepared connection cable into the connector plug provided for this purpose on the
underside of the housing.
2. Screw the cap nut onto the connector plug as far as it will go. This ensures that the power
cable cannot be inadvertently pulled out.
3. Now connect the supply voltage to the cable provided.
The sensor is now ready for operation.

6.1 Commissioning in Line with Default Settings
1. Check that the distance between the damping element and the sensor is correct.
2. Switch on the supply voltage. The operating indicator on the sensor lights up yellow.
The sensor will now function using the default parameters.
6.2 Programming the Measuring Range
Operating and Display Elements
The PMI14V-F112-...-U-... inductive positioning system features a small, slightly recessed push
button (1) on the back that is used to program the measuring range.
The measuring range starting point that is taught in is saved in the internal nonvolatile memory.
This ensures that the value remains available even if the power supply is disconnected.
Figure 6.1
Teaching in the Measuring Range
1. Position the damping element for position detection at the measuring range starting point to
be taught in. The geometric center of the damping element is crucial here.
2. Press and hold the push button with a thin object for at least 2 seconds. When doing so,
make sure that the damping element does not move.
The L D flashes yellow to indicate that the inductive positioning system is in Teach-in
mode. If the L D is not flashing yellow or flashes red, read the section "Troubleshooting
during Teach-in".
3. Confirm the taught-in starting point by pressing the push button again.
If the now yellow L D lights up continuously, the starting point has been taught in. The
end point of the measuring range remains unchanged. This point is marked by the area
labeled "10 V" on the front. If the L D flashes red, read the section "Troubleshooting during
Teach-in".

6.3 Troubleshooting during Teach-in
After pressing the push button once, the LED continues to light up
yellow
If there is no damping element in the defined detection range of the inductive positioning
system, the device does not switch to "Teach-in mode".
Remedy: Position the damping element at the measuring range starting point at a maximum
distance of 2.5 mm.
After pressing the push button once, the LED flashes red
The damping element is located within the detection range of the inductive positioning system
at a position that is not valid for the Teach-in process. The L D flashes red for 20 seconds. The
sensor then returns to normal mode.
Remedy: Position the damping element within 0 mm ... 7 mm of the detection range. This is the
area within which you can teach in the measuring range starting point.
In Teach-in mode, the LED changes from flashing yellow to flashing red
When calling up Teach-in mode, the damping element was in a valid position. Before the
measuring range starting point had been confirmed, the damping element left the detection
range of the inductive positioning system.
Remedy: nsure that the damping element is not moved during the Teach-in process.
The LED flashes red after confirming the measuring range starting point
When calling up Teach-in mode, the damping element was in a valid position. Before the
measuring range starting point had been confirmed, the damping element left the valid area for
Teach-in at the measuring range starting point (0 mm  7 mm).
Remedy: nsure that the damping element is not moved during the Teach-in process.
Note!
Cancelation if Starting Point Not Confirmed
If the starting point that has been taught in is not confirmed within 120 seconds, the inductive
positioning system exits "Teach-in mode" and continues operation using the previous value.

7 Maintenance and Repair
7.1 Maintenance
The sensor's transmission properties are stable over long periods. For this reason, regular
adjustments to, and maintenance on the sensor itself, are not necessary. Nevertheless check in
the course of normal maintenance intervals that the sensor, the actuator and the connector are
securely attached. Also check that the connecting cable is intact and correctly routed.
