1. Introduction
1.1 Purpose and use of this manual
Before starting the operation of Temposonics® position

sensors, read this documentation thoroughly and follow the
safety information. Keep this manual for future reference!
The content of this technical documentation is intended to

provide information on mounting, installation and commis-
sioning by qualified automation personnel 1 or instructed
service technicians who are familiar with the project planning
and dealing with Temposonics® position sensors.
1.2 Used symbols and warnings
Warnings are intended for your personal safety and for avoid-
ance of damage to the described product or connected devic-
es. In this documentation, safety information and warnings to
avoid danger that might affect the life and health of operating
or service personnel or cause material damage are highlight-
ed by the pictogram defined below.
Symbol Meaning
NOTICE This symbol is used to point to situations

that may lead to material damage, but not
to personal injury.
1/ The term “qualified technical personnel” characterizes

persons who:
• are familiar with the safety concepts of automation
technology applicable to the particular project,
• are competent in the field of electromagnetic
compatibility (EMC),
• have received adequate training for commissioning and
service operations
• are familiar with the operation of the device and know the
information required for correct operation provided in the
product documentation.

2. Safety instructions

2.1 Intended use Do not reprocess the sensor.
 The sensor might be damaged.
This product may be used only for the applications defined
under item 1 and only in conjunction with the third-party de-
vices and components recommended or approved by MTS
Sensors. As a prerequisite of proper and safe operation, the
product requires correct transport, storage, mounting and
commissioning and must be operated with utmost care.
1. The sensor systems of all Temposonics® series are

intended exclusively for measurement tasks encountered
in industrial, commercial and laboratory applications. The
sensors are considered as system accessories and must
be connected to suitable evaluation electronics, e.g. a
PLC, IPC, indicator or other electronic control unit.

Instructions for connection
• Use low-resistance twisted pair and shielded cables and
connect the shield to ground externally via the controller
equipment.
• Keep control and signal cables separate from power cables
and sufficiently far away from motor cables, frequency Model status
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.
Grounding of profile and rod sensors

Connect the sensor electronics housing to machine ground.
Ground sensor types RP, RH, RD4, RT4 and RF via ground
