The metal wiper of the potentiometer must be protected against current load! Additional information: https://www.asm-sensor.com/en/downloads.html?file=files/asmTheme/pdf/ ws_poti_technote_en.pdf The output signal is the ratiometric voltage of a potentiometer. The potentiometer is supplied by a reference voltage source. The ratio of the output signal to the reference voltage is proportional to the measuring cable extension.

For analog signal processing the voltage output is the proven best choice, e.g. for Waveform Analyzers, Data Loggers and for analog and digital Oscilloscopes. ASM´s 0...10 V output supports a wide range of excitation voltages and is well protected against electromagnetic interference.
