The RPS-2300 is a single transducer device with 2 independant range control adjustments, LED indicators, and form
C relay outputs. These make the sensor well suited for high and
low level control, or other applications where two set points are
needed. The transducer head is constructed of galvanized steel
for the 14" and 36" sensor and plastic for the 72". A sealed silicon rubber sensing face is used making this sensor best suited for
environments where dirt is a problem. This sensor also has a
unique master and slave feature which enables many of the same
units to be used within close proximity of one another without
cross-talk interference. For example, if three sensors are needed
in a close area, one sensor would be left as a master and the other
two would be slaves. This is done by means of the X IN, X OUT,
and GND connection on the board. One sensor (master) would
send a signal by means of the X OUT and GND terminals. These
would be connected to the X IN and GND terminals of the other
two sensors (slaves). With the sensors connected in this way, all
units would be transmitting and receiving at the same time. This
then would prevent cross-talk and enable all three sensors to be

used at the same time in close proximity of one another. There are
also separate turn ON and turn OFF DELAY potentiometers
provided for each set point. All four DELAY controls are located
along side the black module inside the enclosure box. The remote
transducer allows for mounting of the sensor head in cramped
spaces while the controller is out of the way. The (2) independent
and isolated form C relays furnish N.O. and N.C. outputs. This
sensor has a narrow sensing beam and operates at a frequency of
222kHz for the 14" and 36" ranges and 150kHz for the 72" range.
Sensing ranges available for the RPS-2300 include 4" to 14", 5"
to 36" and 8" to 72". Mounting flanges, LED indicators, ranging potentiometers, and 6-ft. transducer cable are included. Optional cable lengths are available.

Proximity Detection

Level Control

Proximity Detection

Level Control

Proximity detection is the detection of an object in a given range. The detection
range of the RPS-2300 is controlled by the "Range Control" potentiometers
located on the front cover of the controller. These potentiometers provide two
detection points as an object moves closer to the transducer. Any object within the
desired range is detected, while objects out of range are ignored. The detect point is
independent of size, material, and reflectivity. The Proximity Option is denoted by
the part number RPS-2300-14.

The RPS-2300 provides 2 individual set points with independent relay outputs. The most common application for this unit is in level control. Using the
range control potentiometers a high set point (SP 1) and a low set point (SP 2)
can be set to keep a level in between a specific window. When the level goes
above the high point (SP 1), relay one would be activated. If the level goes below
the low point (SP 2), relay two would be activated. The Level Control Option is
denoted by using the same part number as the Proximity Option. (Example: RPS2300-14)
