Introduction

The RIPS P503 is the OEM version of the P500, specifically designed for integrators. Each sensor is calibrated to the needs of the application (working range and zero) over ranges of ± 7.5° to ± 80°. The sensor is powered by DC voltage, and incorporates conditioning electronics for a voltage or 4-20mA output signal compatible with any analogue acquisition system.

The non-contact, inductive technology offers excellent durability (MTBF > 350,000 hours), making it more robust than a potentiometric sensor. Another advantage is its excellent frequency response (> 10 kHz), which is ideal for high dynamic control or vibration studies.

The analogue output signal is linear with the absolute position (non-linearity: < ± 0.5° for 100° rotation)

Installation

The capeur is in the form of a 56 x 32 x 12.5 mm PCB. The board is mounted by means of 4 M3 screws. A version for mounting on a servo motor is also available. The use of a flexible coupling is recommended for the shaft connection. The electrical connection is either a connector (IP65) or a cable (IP67). Two potentiometers allow fine adjustment of zero and gain.

Several types of output signals are available :

ATEX version / Intrinsic safety

The RIPS X500 is the ATEX version of the P500. The RIPS X500 is certified ** Intrinsically safe Ex II 1G and Ex ia IIC T4 Ga (Ta= -40°C to 80°C)** . The measurement performance and size are identical. The X500 must be used with an ATEX galvanic barrier, like the X005. The output signal is analogue, type 0.5 - 9.5V or 4-20 mA See RIPS X500 data sheet.
