This is to certify that the products
Classification Linear potentiometer
Series LZW1
fulfill the current request of the following EC-directives:
EMV-directive 2004/108/CE
applied harmonized standards:
EN 61000-6-2:2005, EN 61000-6-4:2007, EN 61326-1:2006
The declaration of conformity loses its validity if the product is m isused or modified without proper
authorisation.

DECLARATION OF EC-CONFORMITY
All the data reported in this brochure and the data s heet, like linearity, lifetime, temperature coefficient are
valid for a sensor utilization as a ratiometric device with a max current across the cursor Ic ≤ 0.1 mA.
Do NOT use the linear transducer as variable resistance!
When calibrating the transducer, be careful to set the stroke so that the output does not drop below 1% or
rise above 99% of the voltage level.
MAINTENANCE
The sensors are maintenance free. It is not necessary to lubricate the moving parts.

FIRST STEPS
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik GmbH would like to thank you for the trust you have placed in us and our
products. This manual will make you familiar with the installat ion and operation of our linear
potentiometers. Please read this manual carefully before initial operation!
Unpacking and checking:
Carefully lift the device out of the box by grabbing the housing. After unpacking t he device, check it for
any visible damage as a result of rough handling during the shipment. Check the delivery for
completeness.
If necessary consult the transportatio n company, or contact W ayCon directly for further assistance.
3 brown (V+)
2 yellow (cursor)
1 blue (V-)
Sensor is to be used as voltage divider, using a
maximum cursor current of Ic ≤ 0.1 µA (do NOT use the
sensor as variable resistance!). Please pay attention to
the notes on the last page.

TECHNICAL DRAWING
Useful electrical stroke B: corres ponds to the sensors measurement range
Theoretical electrical stroke C: actual length of the conductive path, that has to be longer than B, in order
to get a valid electrical signal at the s tart and end point of the measurement range.
When c alibrating the transducer, be careful to set the stroke so that the output does not drop below 1%
or rise above 99% of the voltage level.
