If danger of injury to persons or of damage to operating equipment
is caused by sensor failure or malfunction, additional safety measures
such as plausibility checks, limit switches, EMERGENCY STOP
systems, protective devices etc. are required. In the event of trouble,
shut down the sensor and protect it against accidental operation.
Safety instructions for commissioning
To maintain the sensor’s operability, it is mandatory to follow the
instructions given below.
1. Follow the specications given in the technical data.
2. Ensure that equipment and associated components used in a
hazardous environment are selected and installed in compliance
with regulations governing the geographical location and facility.
Only install equipment that complies with the types of protection
relevant to the applicable Classes, Zones, Divisions and Groups.
3. In explosive atmospheres use only such auxiliary components
that meet all requirements of the local and national standards.
4. The potential equalisation of the system has to be established
according to the regulations of erection applicable in the
respective country of use (VDE 0100 part 540; IEC 364-5-54).
5. Sensors from MTS Sensors are approved only for the intended
use in industrial environments (see chapter “2.1 Intended use”
on page 3). Contact the manufacturer for advice if aggressive
substances are present in the sensor environment.
6. Measures for lightning protection have to be taken by the user.
7. The user is responsible for the mechanical protection of the
sensor.
8. The sensor may be used only for xed installations with
permanently wired cables. The user shall ensure that cables and
cable glands correspond to the risk assessment of the hazardous
application as well as to thermic, chemical and mechanical
environmental conditions. The user is also responsible for the
required strain relief. When selecting the sealing, the maximum
thermal load of the cables must be taken into account.
9. The user is responsible for meeting all safety conditions as
outlined by:
• Installation instructions
• Local prevailing standards and regulations
• Safety manual (document part no. 551504) for SIL 2 capable

Operation Manual
How to ensure safe commissioning
1. Protect the sensor against mechanical damage during
installation and operation.
2. Do not use damaged products and secure them against unintentional commissioning. Mark damaged products as being
defective.
3. Prevent electrostatic charges.
4. Do not use the sensor in cathodic systems for corrosion
protection. Do not allow parasitic currents on the sensor housing.
5. Switch off the supply voltage prior to disconnecting or
connecting the connectors.
6. Connect the sensor very carefully and pay attention to the
polarity of connections, power supply as well as to the shape
and duration of control pulses.
7. Cable entry temperature and branching point temperature may
reach 104 °C (219 °F) and 116 °C (241 °F) respectively. Select
suitable cable and entry device.
8. For eld wiring, use cables suitable for the service temperature
range of −40 °C (−40 °F) to +116 °C (241 °F).
9. Do not open when energized. Open the sensor only as shown in
Fig. 7 on page 13.
10. A seal shall be installed within 18" of the enclosure (for NEC /
CEC only).
11. Use only approved power supplies of Category II according to
IEC 61010-1.
12. Ensure that the specied permissible limit values of the sensor
for operating voltage, environmental conditions, etc. are met.
13. Make sure that:
• the sensor and associated components were installed
according to the instructions
• the sensor enclosure is clean
• all screws (only those of quality 6.8, A2-50 or A4-50 are
allowed) are tightened according to specied fastening
torque in Fig. 7
• the cable glands certied according to the required
hazardous area classication and IP protection are tightened
according to the manufacture’s specications
• surfaces limiting the joint shall not be machined or painted
subsequently (ameproof enclosure)
• surfaces limiting the joint have not been provided with a seal
(ameproof enclosure)
• the magnet does not grind on the rod. This could cause
damage to the magnet and the sensor rod. If there is contact
between the moving magnet (including the magnet holder)
and the sensor rod, make sure that the maximum speed of the
moving magnet is less or equal 1 m/s.
14. Ground the sensor via one of the two ground lugs. Both the
sensor and the moving magnet including magnet holder must
be connected to protective ground (PE) to avoid electrostatic
discharge (ESD).
15. Before applying power, ensure that nobody’s safety is
jeopardized by starting machines.
16. Check the function of the sensor regularly and provide
documentation of the checks
(see chapter “6.2 Maintenance” on page 35).
2.4 Safety instructions for use in explosion-hazardous areas
The sensor has been designed for operation inside explosion-hazarded areas. It has been tested and left the factory in a condition in which
it is safe to operate. Relevant regulations and standards have been
observed. According to the marking (ATEX, IECEx, CEC, NEC, KCs,
EACEx, Japanese approval) the sensor is approved only for operation
in dened hazardous areas (see chapter “2.1 Intended use” on page
3). The SIL 2 version cannot be adjusted by the customer.
When do you need an external fuse?
How to install a T-Series sensor in Zone 0 according to the guidelines (ATEX, IECEx, CEC, NEC, EAC Ex, KCs Japanese approval)
1. Install an external fuse in compliance with IEC 127 outside the
Ex-atmosphere. Connect it upstream to the equipment.
Current: 125 mA
2. Install the sensor housing in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 21 or Zone 22.
Only the rod section (for version D, G, and E) can extend into
Zone 0.
3. Follow the safety regulations detailed in IEC/EN 60079-26,
ANSI/ISA 60079-26 (12.00.03), ANSI/ISA/IEC/EN 60079-10-1 and
JNIOSH-TR-46-2 to ensure isolation between Zone 0 and Zone 1.
4. When installing the TH sensor in the boundary wall for Zone 0,
the corresponding requirements in ANSI/ISA/IEC/EN 60079-26
and ANSI/ISA/IEC/EN 60079-10-1 have to be noticed. Thereby
the screw-in thread is to be sealed gas tightly (IP67) according to
ANSI/ISA/IEC/EN 60079-26 and ANSI/ISA/IEC/EN 60079-10-1.

• Stroke length SIL 2 version: 25…1500 mm (1…60 in.)
• Stroke length standard version: 25
…7620 mm (1…300 in.)
Output signal
• Analog
Application
Temposonics® position sensors are used for measurement and conversion of the length (position) variable in the elds of automated systems
and mechanical engineering.
The T-Series sensors are designed for installation in a raised or atface anged hydraulic cylinder, for use as an open-air position sensor
or as a liquid level sensor with the addition of a oat.
Principle of operation and system construction
The absolute, linear position sensors provided by MTS Sensors
rely on the company’s proprietary Temposonics
®
magnetostrictive
technology, which can determine position with a high level of
precision and robustness. Each Temposonics
®
position sensor
consists of a ferromagnetic waveguide, a position magnet, a strain
pulse converter and supporting electronics. The magnet, connected
to the object in motion in the application, generates a magnetic eld
at its location on the waveguide. A short current pulse is applied to
the waveguide. This creates a momentary radial magnetic eld and
torsional strain on the waveguide. The momentary interaction of the
magnetic elds releases a torsional strain pulse that propagates the
length of the waveguide. When the ultrasonic wave reaches the end of
the waveguide it is converted into an electrical signal. Since the speed
of the ultrasonic wave in the waveguide is precisely known, the time
required to receive the return signal can be converted into a linear
position measurement with both high accuracy and repeatability.

T-Series models
The T-Series is available in four variations, three of which are hazardous
classications:
• Flameproof housing with ameproof connection chamber (version D)
• Flameproof (explosionproof) housing with ameproof (explosion-
proof) connection chamber (version G)
• Flameproof housing with increased safety connection chamber
(version E)
• Non-hazardous (version N)
All of these variations are available in two types of hardware / software,
SIL 2 compliant and standard, both in 4…20 mA and 20…4 mA output. The sensor assembly is offered in 1.4305 (AISI 303) stainless steel
and in 1.4404 (AISI 316L). Associated with hazardous rating the sensor
meets IP66 / IP67. For non-hazardous environments the sensor meets
IP66, IP67, IP68, IP69K and NEMA 4X.
