  • Page 3 Page 2 General use / description The PCS-100 System consists of two main components; a PCS-100 “Sensor” (Positive Contact Sensor) and an SCU-100 “Control” (Sensor Control Unit). The Sensor is mounted in close proximity to the tool which is to be monitored, while the Control is mounted in the machine electrical cabinet.
  • Page 4 Page 3 Install the mounting bracket and mount the Clamping Sleeve The Clamping Sleeve is used to hold the Sensor, and allows for attachment to the mounting bracket fabricated by the customer. Each Clamping Sleeve is packaged with a screw and nut which can be used to mount the Clamping Sleeve to the mounting bracket.
  • Page 5 Page 4 To change the swing direction or swing angle, loosen the set screw (indicated “A” in Figure 8) until the knurled adjusting ring (indicated “B” in Figure 8) can be manually rotated. Turn the adjusting ring to the desired swing angle in either the CW or CCW field.
  • Page 6 Page 5 Install the Control Mount the SCU-100 Control in the electrical cabinet using either the 35mm DIN Rail mount or with two screws/bolts through the two holes on the bottom of the Control. Make the appropriate electrical connections, referencing Page 6 for Terminal Descriptions and Page 8 for Sample Wiring Diagrams.
  • Page 7 Page 6 SCU-100 Terminal Descriptions Terminals 1 & 2: 24VDC input – used to power the SCU-100 Control. Note that terminal 1 is positive (+) and terminal 2 is negative (-). A minimum supply of 250mA is required. When powering the Control with an existing 24VDC power supply, confirm that the power supply is capable of the additional output capacity required to power the Control.
