1.3 Use and inspection
The relevant safety regulations must be followed when using the linear position sensor system.
In particular, steps must be taken to ensure that should the linear position sensor system
become defective, no hazards to persons or property can result. This includes the installation
of additional safety limit switches, emergency shutoff switches and maintaining the permissible
ambient conditions.
2.1 Functional Description
The Micropulse EX Linear Position Sensor is designed to provide highly accurate position
feedback in areas containing potentially explosive gases and dusts.
The Micropulse EX Linear Position Sensor consists of:
• A heavy-duty stainless steel housing with a Modified 1/2"-14 NPT threaded conduit
opening for cable entry. Modified threading in accordance with FM Standard 3615,
Chapter 3.3.3, Paragraph D, Section 1. Manufacturer does not supply conduit.
• An internal electronics module/sensing element that provides electrical position feedback
signals in the form of an analog voltage, analog current, or digital pulse signals. The
internal electronics module/sensing element can be replaced while the external housing
stays in place.
