MTS Sensors MH User Manual
The MH-Series Analog/PWM Tester supports analog, 4 - 20 mA and 0 - 10 Vdc,
scaled Pulse Width Modulated (PWM), and PWM time of flight (tOF) sensor
outputs. The MH-Series tester is a battery powered device that is be used in test
bench and field applications to verify that the MTS Sensor is functioning properly
and is producing the appropriate signal outputs.
FEATURES:
Easy connection to MTS’ M12 integrated connector system
Easy to use push-button controls
Supports voltage (0-10 Vdc) and current (4-20 mA) outputs
Supports scaled PWM and time-of-ight PWM outputs
Compact construction for use in eld applications
Provides both +5 Vdc and +12Vdc sensor power supply
Sealed lead acid battery that provides up to 8 hours of operation per
charge
Battery level monitoring
Automatic detection of PWM sensor frequency
Carrying case

2.0 Installation
2.1 Connecting an analog sensor
To connect an Analog sensor equipped with MTS’ M12 integrated connector
system to the MH-Series Tester use the following procedure:
1. Use the provided cabling fitted with the M12 connector
and connect the M12 cable to the MTS M12 integrated connector
system on the sensor or cylinder. (continue with step 3 below) OR
To connect an Analog Sensor not equipped with MTS’ M12 integrated connector
system:
1. Use the Pigtailed cable that is included in the test kit to connect the ends
without banana plugs to the customer’s specified interface/connector
that mates to the MH-Series Sensor or cylinder.
2. Ensure that the wire colors of the cable correspond with the wire colors
of the output wires from the sensor.
3. Plug the brown banana plug into the +12 Vdc or +5 Vdc (depending on
voltage required by the sensor) terminal on the top of the tester.
4. Plug the white banana plug into the DC GND terminal on the top of
the tester.
5. Plug the green banana plug into the analog terminal at the top of
the tester.
