Advanced communication and programmability
Sensor field programming
Temposonics R-Series Analog sensors are preconfigured at the
factory by model number designation. For many applications, no
adjustments are required for normal sensor installation and opera-
tion. If, however, sensor parameter changes are needed while in the
field, the R-Series Analog sensor is easily programmed externally.
There is no need to open the sensor’s electronic housing.
R-Series Analog handheld programmer (for single magnet sensors)
The R-Series Analog handheld programmer (part number 253124)
can be used to program the magnet positions for the start of output,
(0% = 0 Vdc, -10 Vdc, 4 mA, or 0 mA), and the end of output,
(100% = 10 Vdc or 20 mA), for the single magnet version of the
R-Series Analog sensor.

Handheld programmer, Part no. 253124
R-Series Analog PC Programming kit, Part no. 253309
For single or dual magnet sensors
This programming kit includes a wall adapter style power supply,
serial converter box, two connection cables (wired for the LIN proto-
col), and the software CD-ROM. The serial converter box and one of
the cables are required to communicate between a Windows PC and
the sensor. When running the R-Series Analog PC Setup software
many customized settings are possible for:
• Setpoint 1 (Null) and Setpoint 2 (Span) for single or dual
magnets. (See the description for setpoints under the section,
“R-Series Analog Handheld Programmer”.)
• Output range settings for speed, or for speed with direction.
• Assign position or velocity output functions for the single or dual
magnets, and for the one or two output channels. (Output
function assignments are limited to the manufacturing build type
of the sensor, see below.)
• Error output values when the magnet moves beyond the
programmed setpoints.
Field programming to adjust the output values is available for any
setting needed, within the selected output range. Each sensor’s out-
put range is selected from the available options when ordering a
particular sensor model number, (see pages 7 and 8).
There are 6 different manufacturing build types used to provide for
the various output ranges. These are:
Single Channel Output for either position or speed
1) Voltage output between 0 and +10 volts
2) Voltage output between -10 and +10 volts
3) Current output between 0 (or 4) and 20 mA
Two Channel Outputs for position and/or speed
4) Voltage outputs between 0 and +10 volts
5) Voltage outputs between -10 and +10 volts
6) Current outputs between 0 (or 4) and 20 mA
Note:
Field programming allows for numerous custom sensor configurations,
however, please note that field programming can not be used to change the
R-Series Analog sensor from one manufacturing build type to another.
Standard factory settings place the setpoint 1 (Null) and setpoint 2
(Span) at the limits of the sensor’s active stroke range. For example,
a sensor ordered with 4 - 20 mA output will be factory set for 4 mA
output at the bottom limit of the stroke range at the “Null” position.
Likewise, the 20 mA output will be factory set at the top limit of the
stroke range at the start of the “dead zone”.

Setpoint 1 and setpoint 2 can be re-positioned for the actual
measuring range needed anywhere within the active stroke length.
(Note: The minimum distance allowed between setpoint 1 and set-
point 2 is 25 mm.) These adjustments are easily performed, even
when the sensor is not directly accessible, by connecting the analog
handheld programmer to the sensor’s integral cable or extension
cable.

Selection of position magnets (included with sensor)
A choice of two magnet mounting configurations are
available with the profile-style sensor; the captive-
sliding magnet or the floating (open ring) magnet.
Captive-sliding magnets utilize slide bearings of
special material that reduce friction, and if required,
help mitigate dirt build up. The slide bearings are
designed to operate dry, requiring no external
lubrication or maintenance.
The floating magnet (open ring) mounts on the
moving machine part and travels just above the
sensor’s profile extrusion. The open ring magnet
(style M) requires a minimum distance away from
ferrous metals to allow proper sensor output. It
must be mounted using non-ferrous screws and a
non-ferrous support bracket, or utilize a non-ferrous
spacer of at least 5 mm (0.2 in.) thickness.

Model RH rod-style sensor
The Temposonics R-Series rod-style sensor (Model RH) 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
RP sensor may also be mounted externally in many applications.
