The RPS-409A analog ultrasonic sensor
is a self contained sensor in a 30mm PVC barrel
housing. It is powered by 20-30VDC with
reverse polarity protection.
The RPS-409A has a short circuit protected analog 0-10VDC output. The analog
voltage is a fixed volts per inch based on the
maximum range of the unit. For example using
the RPS-409A-80, the output is a linear 0.125
volts per inch. A target placed 10 inches from the
sensor will result in an output signal of 1.25 volts
or a target placed at 80 inches from the sensor will
result in an output of 10 volts.
0.00V @ 0"

10.0V @ 80"

1.25V @ 10"

The RPS-409A has temperature compensation built in to provide accurate readings
throughout the entire operating temperature range.

For set up purposes an LED indicator is
provided. The LED is Green when not detecting
and changes to Red when a target moves into
place. The sensor is completely sealed and the
connection is made by way of IP and NEMA
rated cables.
Besides the input and output lines there is
a sync / enable line provided. This can be used
for connecting multiple sensors together to prevent cross talk, or to fire the sensor at a particular
time.
The RPS 409A is designed to take advantage of todays PLC and computer analog input
cards. The analog card chosen will determine the
resolution of the system. The numerical values
that are programmed into the PLC or computer
will determine the zero and span.
If a set point or set points are required in
the application, please refer to the Migatron
SPC-701, SPC-704, or M-1000 control products. Both the SPC-704 and M-1000 can also
provide excitation power to drive the sensor.
