- Page 2 HMR4007 INTRODUCTION The Honeywell HMR4007 is an electronic linear position sensing solution for use in commercial and industrial application environments. A stationary array of Honeywell’s magnetoresistive (MR) sensors is utilized to quickly and accurately monitor the position of a small magnet attached to a moving object such as a valve stem or hydraulic cylinder.

Page 4: Pin Configuration
The HMR4007 uses an on-board low drop out (LDO) +5 volt regulator so that a regulated +5 volt power supply or an unregulated power supply in the range of +6VDC to +28VDC can be used. The power is supplied to the board through one of the three user ports being (serial, analog, or USB) and a jumper is used to select which port is the power source. -

HMR4007 PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS The circuit board for the HMR4007 Linear Position Sensor is approximately 340mm by 80mm. A 6-pin right angle connector (J1) and two 4-pin connectors (J2, J3) protrude from the back of the board for user connections. Components on the top-side have a maximum height of 12mm. -
Page 6: Application Notes
USING THE HMR4007 AS A STAND ALONE SENSOR Introduction The HMR4007 can be used as a stand-alone sensor without the need for any digital communications. The board is configured at the factory to provide a 0-2.5 VDC analog output (axial magnet) and status signal that represents the position of the magnet along the long axis of the device. - Page 7 DDL calls are supplied to support these basic functions. Connector J1 General Description J1 is a 6-pin header which is wired to a PC parallel port for digital communications with the Honeywell demonstration DLL software (or other user application) using the following connections: PC (parallel port)
- Page 8 MAGNET CONSIDERATIONS The choice of magnet to be used with the HMR4007 is critical to its accuracy. Because a magnet's field extends beyond the boundaries of the material, a magnet has two dimensions to consider: its physical (material) length and its apparent (magnetic) length.
