M-Series Tester User’s Manual 1. The M-Series analogue/PWM Test Kit The M-Series analogue/PWM Tester supports analogue, 0 - 20 mA and 0 - 10 Vdc, scaled Pulse Width Modulated (PWM), and PWM time of flight (tof) sensor out- puts. The M-Series Tester is a battery powered device that can be used in test bench and field applications to verify that the MTS Sensor is functioning properly and is producing the appropriate signal outputs.

M-Series Tester User’s Manual 2. Installation 2.1 Connecting an analogue Sensor To connect an analogue sensor equipped with MTS’ M12 integrated connector system to the M-Series Tester use the following procedure: 1. Use the provided cabling fitted with the M12 connector and connect the M12 cable to the MTS M12 integrated connector system on the sensor or cylinder. Please pay attention to the pin assignment of the sensors.
M-Series Tester User’s Manual 2. Installation (continued) 2.2 Connecting PWM Sensors To connect a PWM sensor equipped with MTS’ M12 integrated connector system to the M-Series Tester use the following procedure: 1. Use the provided cabling fitted with the M12 connector and connect the M12 cable to the MTS M12 integrated connector system on the sensor or cylinder. (continue with step 3 below) OR To connect a PWM sensor not equipped with MTS’...
M-Series Tester User’s Manual 2. Installation (continued) 2.3 Battery Charger The M-Series tester will also run off AC power supplied by the charger included in the test kit. To run the box of AC power or to charge the battery plug the charger barrel plug into the charger port on the top of the test box and connect the charger to an AC Outlet.
M-Series Tester User’s Manual 2. Installation (continued) 2.6 Carrier Handle Adjustment To adjust the position of the carrier handle of the tester, please press and hold both buttons on the side of the handle at the same time. Adjust the position of the handle.
M-Series Tester User’s Manual 3. Operations (continued) 3.2.2 Current (Curr) The current range will be displayed in Milliamps for M-Series sensor with current output. The current range shown will depend on the sensor model selected. 3.2.3 Battery Level (bAtt) The M-Series tester utilizes a battery to power both the charger and the sensor. Note: The M-Series Tester contains circuitry that continually measures the device 1.
M-Series Tester User’s Manual 3. Operations (continued) 3.2.6 PWM Time of Flight (TOF) Time of Flight mode allows for the M-Series Tester to display the output of a PWM Note: ToF sensor. In a PWM ToF sensor the displacement amount is determined by the In order to display millimeters a fixed value has been used for the location of time between the creation of the interrogation pulse an the the null with respect to the sensing element.
M-Series Tester User’s Manual 3. Operations (continued) 3.3 Verification Verify the sensor is reading the displacement of the magnet by moving the Note: magnet in the bench test of the attached sensor or by stroking the cylinder. The M-Series Tester is not a calibrated device and should only be used for indi- Observe the change in output reading.
