Waycon LZW1 Series Installation Manual

NOTES
All the data reported in this brochure and the data sheet, like linearity, lifetime, temperature coefficient are
valid for a sensor utilization as a ratiometric device with a max current across the cursor Ic ≤ 0.1 mA.
Do NOT use the linear transducer as variable resistance!
When calibrating the transducer, be careful to set the stroke so that the output does not drop below 1% or
rise above 99% of the voltage level.
MAINTENANCE
The sensors are maintenance free. It is not necessary to lubricate the moving parts.

FIRST STEPS
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and our
products. This manual will make you familiar with the installation and operation of our linear
potentiometers. Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. After unpacking the device, check it for
any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check the delivery for
completeness.
If necessary consult the transportation company, or contact WayCon directly for further assistance.
