Specifications are subject to change without notice. Consult MTS for verification of specifications critical to your application.
NOTE (Zero Points):
Before ordering an MK292 with a Temposonics LA
or LP sensor, consult an MTS Sensors Division
Applications Engineer for details regarding the
positioning of the sensor’s ZERO point.
