The above specifications for analog output sensors are based on the assumption that output ripple is
averaged by the measuring device as with any typical analog device.
Digital-pulse outputs
Temposonics G-Series position sensors provide direct Start/Stop and PWM
signals. Standard resolution is 0.004 in. with digital pulse outputs (when
using a 28 MHz counter). Higher resolutions are possible with increased
circulations or with the use of higher resolution counters.
Magnet
Analog outputs
Temposonics G-Series position sensors with analog outputs provide direct
signals, including voltage (0 to 10 Vdc or -10 to +10 Vdc, forward or reverse
acting) and current (4 to 20 mA, or 0 to 20 mA, forward or reverse acting).
Both voltage and current outputs allow full adjustments of null and span set-
points, (minimum 2 in. between setpoints). Since the outputs are direct, no
signal-conditioning electronics are needed when interfacing with controllers
or meters.

Advanced Communication and Programmability
Temposonics G-Series sensors are preconfigured at the factory by model
code designation. For many applications no adjustments are required for
normal sensor installation and operation. If, however, sensor parameter
changes are desired while in the field, the G-Series sensor is easily pro-
grammed.
Using external communication for monitoring and programming, there is no
need to open the sensor’s electronics housing. This can simplify installation
and commissioning, saving valuable time. Keeping the sensor electronics
isolated ensures that seal integrity and the highest product reliability are
maintained.
The new platform technology inside the G-Series position sensor enables:
Infrared (IR) send and receive for wireless communication.
Built-in serial interfaces for robust hard-wired serial
communication, (RS-422 for digital-pulse outputs and RS-485 for
analog outputs).

Model GH rod-style sensor
The Temposonics G-Series rod-style sensor (Model GH) offers modular construction, flexible mounting configurations, and easy installation. It is designed
for internal mounting in applications where high pressure conditions exist, (5000 psi continuous, 10,000 psi spike), such as hydraulic cylinders. The Model
GH sensor may also be mounted externally in many applications.

The position magnet requires minimum distances away from ferrous metals to allow proper sensor output. The minimum distance from the front of the
magnet to the cylinder end cap is 15 mm, (0.6 in.). The minimum distance from the back of the magnet to the piston head is provided by the non-ferrous
