Safety Safety System operation assumes knowledge of the operating instructions. Symbols Used The following symbols are used in these operating instructions: Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or mode- rate injury. Indicates a situation that may result in property damage if not avoided. Indicates a user action.
Safety Do not pull the measuring wire over the specified measuring range. > Destruction of the measuring wire and/or the sensor The supply voltage must not exceed the specified limits. > Damage to or destruction of the sensor Avoid shocks and impacts to the sensor >...
Safety Foreseeable Misuse Do not pull the measuring wire over the specified measuring range. This may lead to damage of the measu- ring wire and also to uncontrollable snapping of the measuring wire. Risk of injury. Make sure the sensor is not held by another person when the measuring wire is extracted. Risk of snapping and injury.
Functional Principle, Technical Data Functional Principle, Technical Data Measuring Principle With the draw-wire principle, a linear motion is transformed into a change in resistance. A measuring draw-wire made of highly flexible stainless steel wires is wound onto a drum with the aid of a long life spring motor.

Installation and Assembly Installing the Encoder Make sure that the measuring wire is always tensioned by the spring motor in order to prevent it from jumping off the pulley. Mount the encoder/adapter flange assembly on the draw-wire mechanism. Fasten the coupling and the encoder shaft with the supplied hexagon socket screw. Press the supplied cap into the opening in the adapter flange housing.

Installation and Assembly Sensitivity Characteristics Designed with a single-layered wire wound onto the drum, the WPS-2300-MK88-M draw-wire mechanics pro- vides high measurement accuracy. The WPS-3500-MK88-M and WPS-5000-MK88-M models have a double- layered wire which enables a larger measuring range while maintaining the same housing size.
Within this period, defective parts, except for wearing parts, will be repaired or replaced free of charge, if the device is returned to MICRO-EPSILON with shipping costs prepaid. Any damage that is caused by improper handling, the use of force or by repairs or modifications by third parties is not covered by the liability for mate- rial defects.
