Long Range Draw Wire Sensor SX135 up to 42.5 m-11

Draw wire sensors with the analogue output versions 5VT and 10VT are equipped with teachable, internal electronics, called VT-Electronics. The signals provided by the sensor's potentiometer are digitized by the VT-Electronics. This digital information is first processed by the electronics, then transformed back and given out as an analogue output signal 0 to 5 V or 0 to 10 V. The digitization offers two possibilities of adjustment, by which the sensor can be configured individually using the Squeezer: 1. Teaching of the measurement range. After a successful teaching process, the squeezer can...
