Technical Frequently Asked Questions
What can be connected to the TE1 potentiometric transducer?
It can be connected to Novotechnik M8 connectors and cables, Novotechnik linear sensor couplings and fixings, and the MAP-4000 multifunction meter with digital display for potentiometric and standardized signals.
How do I order the TE1 potentiometric transducer?
The order code has 6 fields: stroke (mm), mechanical version, interface, signal, characteristic, and connection. For example, TE1-0100-101-411-101 (Art. 400049451) is the version with a defined range of 100 mm, type with a articulated shaft and coupling, analog interface, voltage output of 0…10 V (extended shaft = 0 V), and a 3-pole M8x1 connector with axial output. All order references with their corresponding Art. 400049451 are listed in the reference table on this page.
Under what conditions does the TE1 potentiometric transducer operate?
Operating temperature: -40 … +85 °C. Protection: IP40.
