Alliance Sensors Group is pleased to announce its “SenSet Field Programmability” technology is now a standard feature in its LR, LV, MR-7 and ME-7 linear position product lines. SenSet lets users perform a field calibration to adjust for mechanical tolerance variations with the push of a button or grounding a lead.
In many applications, the factory calibrated range of a sensor does not precisely match the actual range of the position being measured, be it in a valve or hydraulic cylinder. SenSet lets the installer simply and quickly match the full scale electrical output (4-20mA or 0-10VDC) of a sensor to the actual mechanical movement range of the device in which the sensor is installed. After installing the sensor, simply move the device to its zero (fully closed, retracted or 0%) position and press the SenSet button, then move it to the full scale (fully open, extended or 100%) position and press the same SenSet button and the sensor is now calibrated over the device’s range of motion. For OEMs, a grounding wire or magnetic switch is typically used in place of the SenSet button. Sensor and cylinder distributors will have reduced technical support time required with their customers. The output can be adjusted for one or both ends of the range of motion up to 20%.
Alliance Sensors Group offers linear position sensors such as the MR-7 port mountable and ME-7 embedded as magnetostrictive sensor replacements for hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders as well as the LV series LVDT replacement sensors, all having the SenSet Field Programmability feature.
