Alignment
1.
Move axis to start position.
2.
Turn potentiometer (Po) until start value (4mA)
is measured.
3.
Move axis to end position.
4.
Turn potentiometer (Pe) until end value (20mA)
is measured.
The steps 1 to 4 are to be repeated until the va-
lues are counterbalanced.

5.3 Alignment of the R/U transformer (MWU)
If the device is equipped with a resistance-volta-
ge converter, then the potentiometer resistance is
converted into a voltage of 0 to 10VDC. Connec-
tion is via three-wire technology.
Ex works, the instrument transformer is aligned
to the initial value of 0V output voltage (Po), at
an extension length of 0mm and a final value of
10V output voltage (Pe), at a maximum extension
length of the encoder. The output of the instru-
ment transformer should be wired against GND
with a resistor 2 to 10KΩ to enable the initial
value of 0V to be set. However, the output load
should be dimensioned so that an output current
of 10mA won't be exceeded in the end position
(10V). By means of the trimming potentiometer
Pe (see fig. 10), the final value can be adjusted
to the actual final position of the application.
Setting the instrument transformer
After releasing the hood snap, the trimming po-
tentiometer Pe can be accessed. Since it is SMD
designed, it should be set up cautiously. An out-
put voltage of 10V with an extension position of
60 to 100% of the maximum encoder extension
length can be set.
