Analogue slope sensor
Description:
The FSI-AN sensor is a slope analog transducer with 4 20mA current output.
It is a transducer with 3 wires:

 |
The output current is proportional to the inclination of the sensor compared to the horizontal position (see picture).
Working:
Supply the sensor and read the output current (directly with a milliamperometer or connecting it to a PLC with 4÷ 20mAcurrent input).
Attention: the input resistance of the used instrument (for the measurement) must have a value that allows to the sensor to supply the maximum current.
The maximum output tension of the sensor is “Vsupply - 5.5V“.
Fitting:
When you have positioned the sensor, with the long side perfectly in horizontal position, it has an output current value between 11.9mAand 12.1mA. During the fitting, it is necessary to verify that the output current, in horizontal position, is between the upon mentioned values. Otherwise, you have to act on the support slots to place the sensor in a correct way.
