Forseeable Misuse - MTS Systems Temposonics MH Series Brief Instructions

2.2 Forseeable misuse

Forseeable misuse
Wrong sensor connection
Operate the sensor out of the
operating temperature range
Power supply is out of the
defi ned range
Position measurement is
infl uenced by an external
magnetic fi eld
Cylinder bore hole too small
Cylinder bore hole after
welding too small
Sharp edges

Loose connectors
Spacers are missing or
installed in a wrong order
Wrong connection
of ground / shield
Use of a magnet that is not
certifi ed by MTS Sensors
Consequence
The sensor will not work
properly or will be destroyed
No signal output /
The sensor can be damaged
Signal output is wrong /
no signal output /
the sensor will be damaged
Signal output is wrong
Component damage due to
excessive installation force
required.
Component damage due to
excessive installation force
required.
Damage to cables and
conductors
Destruction of internal
components
High energy voltage peaks
or currents are fed to the
sensor, damaging housing or
electronic components.
Short circuit – the sensor can
be destroyed / sensor does
not respond
Liquid can penetrate into the
sensor into the sensor hous-
ing through cables or strands
and cause short circuit or
corrosion of electronics
components
Error in position
measurement
Signal output is disturbed /
The electronics can be
damaged
Error in position
measurement
Do not reprocess the sensor or cylinder afterwards.
 The sensor might be damaged.
Do not step on the sensor.
 The sensor might be damaged.
