Inductive positioning system
Operating instructions
• Safety information
• Sensor versions
The F90 linear position measurement system is available in 2 versions.
In the PMI...-F90-IU-V1 version, the position measuring system transmits current and voltage signals proportional to the
position of the damping element at the outputs.
The PMI...-F90-IE8-V15 version offers a current signal as well as the option of teaching in two switching points directly at the
sensor independently of one another at the press of a button, which is then indicated on two switching outputs. Two additional
LEDs indicate the output states of the two switching outputs.
Version PMI…-F90-IU-V1
Output signals: 4 mA ... 20 mA and 0 V ... 10 V
Version PMI…-F90-IE8-V15
Output signals: 4 mA ... 20 mA and 2 programmable switching amplifiers
• Programming the PMI…-F90-IE8-V15
The rear of the PMI...-F90-IE8-V15 sensor has two small, slightly recessed push buttons for programming the switching points.
The buttons are marked "teach in" and S1 for switching point S1 and S2 for switching point S2.
To teach in a switching point, proceed as follows:
- The position detection damping element must be placed at the relevant position, i.e. the switching point that you wish to
teach in.
- Press the corresponding push button for at least two seconds.
The associated switching state LED starts flashing to indicate that the sensor is now in “teach mode”.
- Press the button again to confirm the relevant switching point.
The switching state LED then lights up constantly as long as the damping element is not moved.
The switching point is now taught in and the associated switching point changes to an active state within an actuator
adjustment range of ± 1 mm around the taught switching point.
• Damping element
The linear position measurement system is adapted perfectly to the geometry of the damping
elements offered in our product range.
• Installation and operation
Instructions on installation
- Flush installation is possible
- to extend the measuring range, units from the -F90 linear position measurement system can be
connected in series (both behind and adjacent to one another) without a minimum distance.
- The minimum distance between the measuring field (framed area on the sensor front) and
mounting base or mounting elements on the damping element must be 3 mm.
• Operating information
The specified measurement accuracy is achieved with an actuator distance of 1 to 3 mm.
If the damping element leaves the measuring area (illustration below):
- the last valid value is retained at the voltage output (PMI…-F90-IU-V1 only) until the damping element enters the valid area
again.
- the last valid value is retained for 0.5 seconds at the current output (all types). The output then switches to a fault current of
3.6 mA until the damping element enters the valid area again.
Operation
This product may not be used in applications where personal
safety depends on the function of the device.
This product is not a safety component as described in EU
Machinery Directive.
Only the current output or the voltage output may be used. The
unused output must remain load free.
If the switching point is not confirmed within 80 seconds, the sensor
exits “teach mode” and continues operation with the previous values.
When using other damping elements,
always make sure that the active surface
of the damping element has a width of
exactly 8 mm and covers the entire width
of the sensor.

Inductive positioning system
- the switching amplifiers set to basic state after 0.5 seconds ("normally open").
• Defining the measuring range / measured position
The measured position of the damping element (actuator) is based on half of the width (center of the actuator). The measuring
range starts and finishes when half the width of the actuator covers the measurement field marked on the sensor when the
actuator makes a longitudinal movement (see left illustration above).
