General Description
The Sensors Training Systems are designed to familiarize students with the operation of various types of
sensors. They contain a selection of photoelectric, inductive, and capacitive sensors representative of what can
be found in the industry. The training systems provide a comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective
solution to rapidly build student knowledge in sensors.
Each sensor is mounted on a flexible support attached to a metal base which can be snapped into the
perforations of a work surface. A wooden block, on which reflectors have been added, is used to observe the
characteristics of each sensor.
The sensor inputs and outputs are accessible through banana jacks, allowing for easy system setup. The
sensors are protected against bad connections and reverse polarity, and are identified with the proper symbol
on their base. All components meet industrial safety standards.
One of the Sensors Training Systems is an add-on to the Electrical Control of Hydraulic Systems, Model 6080-2,
and Electrical Control of Pneumatic Systems, Model 6081-2, while the other is a stand-alone system.
The Sensors courseware consists of a student manual and an instructor guide. The student manual is divided
into seven hands-on exercises. Each exercise provides a clearly stated objective, a discussion, a summary of the
exercise procedure, a detailed exercise procedure, and a conclusion. The instructor guide contains the
measurement results as well as the answers for each hands-on exercise of the student manual.

Sensors Training System
6085-00
The Sensors Training System
familiarizes students with the
operation of various types of sensors.
The training system is an add-on to the
Electrical Control of Hydraulic
Systems, Model 6080-2, and Electrical
Control of Pneumatic Systems, Model
6081-2. It does not include a work
surface and the sensors must be
installed on a work surface of the
Hydraulics and Pneumatics Training
Systems in order to perform the
exercises in the included courseware.
The system contains a selection of photoelectric, inductive, and capacitive sensors representative of what is
found in the industry. The training system provides a comprehensive, high-quality, and cost-effective solution
to rapidly build student knowledge in sensors.
Each sensor is mounted on a flexible support attached to a metal base whose fixations can be inserted into the
perforations of the trainer work surfaces.
The sensor inputs and outputs are accessible through banana jacks, allowing for easy system setup. The
sensors are protected against bad connections and reverse polarity, and are identified with the proper symbol
on their base. All components meet industrial safety standards.
A block, on which reflectors have been added, is used to observe the characteristics of each sensor.
The Sensors courseware consists of a student manual and an instructor guide. The student manual is divided
into seven hands-on exercises. Each exercise provides a clearly stated objective, a discussion, a summary of the
exercise procedure, a detailed exercise procedure, and a conclusion. The instructor guide contains the
measurement results as well as the answers for each hands-on exercise of the student manual.
