Integral signal processing electronics accommodated in the sensor head can be selected for a range of standard analogue outputs; 0 to 10V, \u00b110V, 4 to 20mA and 0 to 20mA. In addition there is the option for user configurable variations, for example to set to 1 to 9V over a portion of the nominal measuring range.  Unlike many types of encoder, thanks to absolute output, information is not lost on power down. With linearity of \u00b10.01% FS (\u00b150\u00b5m best) and 16 bit resolution of 0.0015% (or 1\u00b5m best), the R Series provides great accuracy and repeatability of measurement. An inexpensive hand-held programming device allows simple reconfiguration to be achieved.  <\/p>\n<p>Further information and guidance on specifying magnetostrictive transducers can be obtained from the RDP engineering support team on 01902 457512 or viewed online at http:\/\/www.rdpe.com\/pdfs\/mts\/mts19.pdf.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; ENDS &#8211;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The rugged construction of RDP Electronics Ltd&#8217;s MTS R Series analogue transducers make them well suited to a wide range of industrial applications which require a direct analogue output for continuous measurement of displacement and speed.
