operation, installation, connection and service, work may
be performed only by qualified technical personnel.
If danger of injury to persons or of damage to operating
equipment is caused by sensor failure or malFunktion,
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. Protect the sensor against mechanical damage during
installation and operation.
2. Do not open or dismantle the sensor.
3. Connect the sensor very carefully and pay attention
to the polarity of connections and power supply.
4. Use only approved power supplies.
5. It is indispensable to ensure that the specified
permissible limit values of the sensor for operating
voltage, environmental conditions, etc. are met.
6. Check the Funktion of the sensor regularly and provide
documentation of the checks.
7. Before system switch-on, ensure that nobody’s safety
is jeopardized by starting machines.

For: GH & GT2 / GT3
• Rotationally symmetrical magnetic field
Ring magnet
For: GH, GT2 / GT3 & GP
• The magnet can be lifted off
U-magnet
Block magnet
Magnet slider
Install the magnet using non-magnetic material for mounting
device, screws, spacers etc.. The magnet must not grind on
the sensor rod. Alignment errors are compensated via the
air gap.
• Max. permissible surface pressure: 40 N/mm2
(only for ring magnets and U-magnets)
• Fastening torque for M4 screws: 1 Nm; use washers,
if necessary
• Minimum distance between position magnet and any
magnetic material has to be 15 mm.
• If no other option exists and magnetic material is used,
observe the specified dimensions
NOTICE
Mount the ring magnet and U-magnet concentrically.
Mount the block magnet centrically.
The maximum permissible air gap must not be exceeded.
Concentric mounting of U-magnet
• Height tolerances can be compensated
For: GH & GP
• The magnet can be lifted off
• Height tolerances can be compensated
For: GP
• The magnet is guided through the profile
• The distance between the magnet and the
waveguide is strictly defined
• Easy coupling via the ball joint

Notice for sensors with stroke lengths ≥ 1 meter
Support horizontally installed sensors with a stroke length
from 1 meter mechanically at the rod end. Without the use of
a support, rod and position magnet may be damaged. A false
measurement is also possible. Longer rods require evenly
distributed mechanical support over the entire length. Use an
U-magnet for measurement.

5. Electrical connections
Temposonics® G-Series
Brief Instructions
Placement of installation and cabling have decisive influence
on the sensor’s electromagnetic compatibility (EMC). Hence
correct installation of this active electronic system and the
EMC of the entire system must be ensured by using suitable
metal connectors, shielded cables and grounding. Overvoltages or faulty connections can damage its electronics despite
protection against wrong polarity.
NOTICE
Never connect / disconnect the sensor when voltage is
applied.
Instructions for connection
• Use low-resistant twisted pair and shielded cables and
connect the shield to ground externally via the controller
equipment.
• Keep control and sign leads separate from power cables
and sufficiently far away from motor cables, frequency
inverters, valve lines, relays, etc.
• Use only connectors with metal housing and connect the
shielding to the connector housing.
• Keep the connection surface at both shielding ends as
large as possible.
• Keep all non-shielded leads as short as possible.
• Keep the earth connection as short as possible with a
large cross section. Avoid ground loops.
• With potential differences between machine and electronics
earth connections, no compensating currents are allowed
to flow across the cable shielding.
Recommendation:
Install potential compensating leads with large cross
section, or use cables with separate double shielding,
and connect only one end of the shield.
• Use only stabilized power supplies in compliance with
the specified connecting values.
NOTICE
Do not mount the sensors in an area of strong magnetic or
electric noise fields.
Sensors must be grounded via ground lug on the sensor
electronics housing.
