The RPS-102 has
2 multiplexed transducers with independent range
control adjustments, LED indicators, and form C
relay outputs. This sensor also has a unique
master and slave feature which enables many of the
same units to be used within close proximity of
one another without cross-talk interference. For
example, if three sensors are needed in a close
area, one sensor would be left as a master and the
other two would be slaves. This is done by means
of the X IN, X OUT, and GND connection on the
board.
One sensor
(master) would send a signal by means of the X OUT
and GND terminals. These would be connected to the
X IN and GND terminals of the other two sensors
(slaves). With the sensors connected in this way,
all units would be transmitting and receiving at
the same time. This then would prevent cross-talk
and enable all three sensors, or all six
transducers, to be used at the same time in close
proximity of one another. There are also separate
turn ON and turn OFF DELAY potentiometers provided
for each transducer. All four DELAY controls are
located alongside the black module inside the
enclosure box. The remote transducers allow for
mounting of the sensor heads in cramped spaces
while the controller is out of the way. The (2)
independent isolated form C relays furnish N.O.
and N.C. outputs. This sensor, which operates at a
frequency of 38.5kHz, has a broad sensing beam
which allows for detection of an object at greater
angles of tilt. Sensing ranges available for the
RPS-102 include 2" to 14", 5" to 72", and 10" to
240". Mounting flanges, LED indicators, ranging
potentiometers, and 6-ft. transducer cables are
included. Optional cable lengths are available.
Proximity Detection

Proximity
detection is the detection of an object in a given
range. The detection range of the RPS-102 is
controlled by the "Range Control" potentiometers
located on the front cover of the controller. Any
object within the desired range is detected, while
objects out of range are ignored. The detect point
is independent of size, material, and
reflectivity.
