Linear Magnetic Sensor Controller Linear Magnetic Sensor Controller Senses the linear position of the cylinder within the specified range. ●Exchange with control devices is possible due to standard equipment for analog output (1 to 5 VDC). ●Switch output is possible in four places. Simple position detection is possible. ●Since the sensor head is the same shape as the ZE sensor switch, it is compatible with ac- tuators equipped with the ZE sensor switch.
●Height check for press-fit items ●Workpiece identification by 4-point switching output Compatible actuators The linear magnetic sensor controller can mounted on the actuators below. For information about mounting it on other actuators, contact Koganei. Parallel type Swing type Air Hand...

The ZLS1-□ sensor head is provided with the mini clamp wire mount plug connected to the sensor head unit. A special tool is required if you KOGANEI need to reconnect in order to adjust the length. Use the following Blue Black procedure when reconnecting.
Handling instructions and precautions General precautions Wiring 1. When using a power supply with a commercially available switching regulator, be sure to connect a frame ground (F.G.). 2. Be sure to connect a frame ground (F.G.) to the devices when using devices that generate noise (switching regulator, inverter motor, etc.) in the vicinity of the installed sensor.

Setting guidelines CAUTION 1. Incorrect wiring to the sensor head or power/switch cables creates the risk of damage to both the controller and sensor head. Confirm that wiring is correct before turning on power. 2. Record write conditions that were configured by writing them to flash memory. Note that flash memory has a limited life, and the number of rewrites is 10,000.
