Contactless linear position transducer with innovative GEFRAN

ONDA magnetostrictive technology for longer lifetime.
The absence of electrical contact on the cursor eliminates all
wearing and guarantees almost unlimited life. The new ONDA
technology solution (patented by Gefran) allows to obtain
an essential modular structure with compact size for simple
installation.

(*) The generated field must have intensity greater than 45 Gauss.
Correct recognition of the signal, initial zero value, deviation span compared to
nominal value, and correct sensor function depend on the shape of the magnetic
field generated by the magnet in the cylinder. The shape of the magnetic field

depends on the physical and geometric characteristics of the magnet. Preliminary

testing of the magnet is recommended.

“The diagram shows the ideal wiring conditions, for the noise reduction, with the cylinder housing not connected to the ground.
In the case the cylinder housing is connected to the ground, be sure the sensor is isolated from the cylinder housing.”

ORDER CODE COPS-1 CALIBRATOR

Position The COPS-1 calibrator lets you set the Full-Scale Zero
transducer O N P P A signal of the ONPP-A transducer installed on the cylinder to
the value you want. The output signal is set with the resolu-
tion of the mV exactly at the two ends of the piston stroke.
Analog output A
The maximum correction window of the two signals (Zero
and FS) is 10% of FS indicative.

Sensor installation procedure and Autozero function activation

The cylinder/sensor matching can generate zero offset reading. For sensors with standard configuration the offset can be
eliminated through the Autozero function.
Such a function is enabled by using the magnetic pen that is provided in the scope of delivery of the sensor (PKIT312)
Figure 1.

Sensor installation procedure and Autozero function activation

1) Mount the sensor on the cylinder (without applying any voltage supply), aligning it to the cylinder body as shown in
Figure A.

Figure A

2) Apply voltage supply

3) Detect and note the transducer output signal
4) Activate the Autozero function. The Autozero function is enabled by positioning the magnetic pen in contact with the
plastic sensor housing, perpendicular to the housing it self, in the Autozero area shown on the product label (Figure 2).
The contact has to be continuosly mantained for a time period between 2 to 5 sec. (see Figure 3).
5) Detect and note the transducer output signal
6) Compare the two output signals. The correct value is the most closely value to the zero signal (0.5V for voltage output,
4.8mA for current output).
7) In case the correct value was that one detected at step 3, enable again the Autozero function (see step 4.)
In this manner the output signal will be correctly set to the value measured at step 3. In case the correct value was that
one detected at step 5, keep the existing zero offset (it is not necessary to enable again the Autozero).

Area activation Autozero

Figure 3: shows the position of the pen on the shell

while activating the autozero function

Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3

In order to avoid undesiderable interferences on the position measurement during the operative use of the sen-
sor, it is necessary that the magnetic pen is positioned away from the sensor housing
SENSOR INSTALLATION FOR VERSION WITHOUT AUTOZERO OPTION
On the sensor versions not equipped with Autozero function, tipically defined with XL....., it is possible to change the zero
offset following the installation procedure below specifiied:

Figure A

1) mount the sensor on the cylinder (without apply any voltage supply) aligning it to the cylinder body as shown in Fig. A.,
without fixing it.
2) apply voltage supply and verify that the zero signal value is between 0,5V and 0,8V (voltage version) or between 4,8mA
and 5,3mA (current version).
3) if the read value is below 0.5V/4,8mA, adjust the position of the sensor until you obtain a signal of 0.5V/4,8mA
4) if the read value is above 0.8V/5,3mA, adjust the position of the sensor until you obtain a signal of 0.8V/5,3mA
5) fix the sensor by tightening the screws

Depending on the cylinder bore, maximum sensor projection from the cylinder (A) is given by the following formula:
A (mm) = 43 mm – thickness of cylinder head (mm) (see Fig. B).
