MH-Series Analog / PWM Tester
The MH-Series Analog/PWM Tester supports analog, 4 - 20 mA and 0 - 10 Vdc,
scaled Pulse Width Modulated (PWM), and PWM time of flight (tOF) sensor
outputs. The MH-Series tester is a battery powered device that is be used in test
bench and field applications to verify that the MTS Sensor is functioning properly
and is producing the appropriate signal outputs.
FEATURES:
„ Easy connection to MTS' M12 integrated connector system
„ Easy to use push-button controls
„ Supports voltage (0-10 Vdc) and current (4-20 mA) outputs
„ Supports scaled PWM and time-of-flight PWM outputs
„ Compact construction for use in field applications
„ Provides both +5 Vdc and +12Vdc sensor power supply
„ Sealed lead acid battery that provides up to 8 hours of operation per
charge
„ Battery level monitoring
„ Automatic detection of PWM sensor frequency
„ Carrying case
