2 Safety information
2.1 Intended use
The sensor from the MPS-C product family is an intelligent, magnetic position sensor. It
is used for non-contact detection of the piston stroke of pneumatic drives with axially
magnetized permanent magnets.
SICK AG assumes no liability for losses or damage arising from the use of the product,
either directly or indirectly. This applies in particular to use of the product that does not
conform to its intended purpose and is not described in this documentation.
NOTICE
Radio interference may occur when the sensor is used in residential areas!
bOnly use the device in industrial environments (EN 61000-6-4).
2.2 Improper use
•The sensor does not constitute a safety-relevant device according to the EC Machi‐
nery Directive (2006/42/EC).
•The sensor must not be used in explosion-hazardous areas.
•Any other use that is not described as intended use is prohibited.
•Any use of accessories not specifically approved by SICK AG is at your own risk.
•The sensor is not suitable for outdoor applications.
NOTICE
Danger due to improper use!
Any improper use can result in dangerous situations.
Therefore, take note of the following information:
bThe sensor should be used only in line with intended use specifications.
bAll information in these operating instructions must be strictly complied with.

2.4 Requirements for skilled persons and operating personnel
WARNING
Risk of injury due to insufficient training.
Improper handling of the sensor may result in considerable personal injury and material
damage.
■All work must only ever be carried out by the stipulated persons.
The operating instructions state the following qualification requirements for the various
areas of work:
■Instructed personnel have been briefed by the operating entity about the tasks
assigned to them and about potential dangers arising from improper action.
■Skilled personnel have the specialist training, skills, and experience, as well as
knowledge of the relevant regulations, to be able to perform tasks assigned to
them and to detect and avoid any potential dangers independently.
■Electricians have the specialist training, skills, and experience, as well as knowl‐
edge of the relevant standards and provisions to be able to carry out work on
electrical systems and to detect and avoid any potential dangers independently. In
Germany, electricians must meet the specifications of the BGVA3 Work Safety
Regulations (e.g.,Master Electrician). Other relevant regulations applicable in
other countries must be observed.
The following qualifications are required for various activities:
Activities Qualification
Mounting, maintenance ■Basic practical technical training
■Knowledge of the current safety regulations in the workplace
Electrical installation,
device replacement
■Practical electrical training
■Knowledge of current electrical safety regulations
■Knowledge of the operation and control of the devices in their
particular application
Commissioning, configura‐
tion
■Basic knowledge of the design and setup of the described
connections and interfaces
■Basic knowledge of data transmission
■Knowledge of the operation and control of the devices in their
particular application
Operation of the devices in
their particular application
■Knowledge of the operation and control of the devices in their
particular application
■Knowledge of the software and hardware environment in the
application
2.5 Hazard warnings and operational safety
Please observe the safety notes and the warnings listed here and in other chapters
of these operating instructions to reduce the possibility of risks to health and avoid
dangerous situations.
2.6 Repairs
Repair work on the sensor may only be performed by qualified and authorized person‐
nel from SICK AG. Interruptions or modifications to the sensor on the part of the
customer will invalidate any warranty claims against SICK AG.

3.2 Product characteristics
3.2.1 Product features
The MPS-C position sensor is used for non-contact linear position measurement mainly
on pneumatic cylinders, grippers, and slides with C-slots.
3.2.2 Operating principle
Principle of operation
The MPS-C determines the position of an encoder magnet via a row of Hall sensors.

Resolution
The sensor resolution describes the minimum, specifiable magnet route change as
output by the sensor.
Sampling rate
The sampling rate indicates the time interval in which the signal is updated at the
outputs.
Speed
When specifying the speed, a distinction is made between “full stroke operation” and
“partial stroke operation”.
In full stroke operation, the piston stroke is less than the measuring range and the
magnet does not leave the measuring range.
In partial stroke operation, the piston stroke is greater than the measuring range and
the magnet leaves the measuring range.
The piston speed is max. 3m/s and max. 1.5m/s for full stroke and partial stroke
operation respectively.
Repeatability/Reproducibility
Repeatability/reproducibility is defined as any move to a preset position from the same
direction in every case.
Blind zone
blind zones
Figure 1: Sensor blind zones
The total length of the sensor is slightly longer than its measuring range. The difference
is called the blind zone. The blind zone is 7.5mm on each side.
Linearity error
The linearity error describes the maximum deviation of the output signal from an ideal
straight line. It is measured in millimeters.

4 Transport and storage
4.1 Transport
For your own safety, please read and observe the following notes:
NOTE
Damage to the sensor due to improper transport.
■The device must be packaged for transport with protection against shock and
damp.
■Recommendation: Use the original packaging as it provides the best protection.
■Transport should be performed by specialist staff only.
■The utmost care and attention is required at all times during unloading and
transportation on company premises.
■Note the symbols on the packaging.
■Do not remove packaging until immediately before you start mounting.
4.2 Transport inspection
Immediately upon receipt at the receiving work station, check the delivery for complete‐
ness and for any damage that may have occurred in transit. In the case of transit
damage that is visible externally, proceed as follows:
■Do not accept the delivery or only do so conditionally.
■Note the scope of damage on the transport documents or on the transport compa‐
ny’s delivery note.
■File a complaint.
NOTE
Complaints regarding defects should be filed as soon as these are detected. Damage
claims are only valid before the applicable complaint deadlines.
4.3 Storage
Store the device under the following conditions:
■Recommendation: Use the original packaging.
■Do not store outdoors.
■Store in a dry area that is protected from dust.
■So that any residual damp can evaporate, do not package in airtight containers.
■Do not expose to any aggressive substances.
■Protect from sunlight.
■Avoid mechanical shocks.
■Storage temperature: see "Technical data", page 35.
■Relative humidity: see "Technical data", page 35.
■For storage periods of longer than 3 months, check the general condition of all
components and packaging on a regular basis.
