2 Safety and operating instructions Intended use The inclination sensor is a precision measuring device to determine angular positions and to supply the downstream device with measured values in the form of electronic output signals. The inclination sensor must not be used for any other purpose. Make sure the appropriate safety measures are present to prevent damage to persons, the system or operating facilities in case of sensor error or failure.
3 3.1 Analog interface communication Analog interface properties • Supply voltage 8…36 VDC • Sensor is protected against reverse polarity and short circuiting. • Initialization time after power on ≤ 0.5 s • Operating current with no load is inferior to 40 mA, at 24 VDC • Several analog signal outputs 4…20 mA / 0.5…4.5 V / 0…5 V / 0…10 V • Load resistance ≥1 kΩ / voltage output resp. ≤800 Ω / current output • Different sensing ranges, 1 and 2 dimensional • Resolution 12 bit • Temperature coefficient 0.
3.2.2 Installation position: 2-dimensional Inclination sensor GIM500R can be installed both in horizontal and vertical position (according to the default settings). Horizontal installation The 2-dimensional inclination sensor (housing in horizontal position) must be installed with the base plate aligned parallel to the horizontal line. The sensor can be inclined both towards the X and Y direction at the same time. By default, the sensor measures within the configured range, e.g. ±30° in both directions.
3.3 Output signals 3.3.1 Analog output signals Within the sensing range, the output signals come as analog values from minimum to maximum. According to the product variant, the analog signal is current or voltage dependent. Outside the sensing range, the output value jumps from the maximum to the minimum signal value at half the rotation angle (α) (see diagram below). When the sensor is inclined in the opposite direction the value jumps from the minimum to the maximum signal value.
3.3.2 Analog output signals 1-dimensional Measuring range 0…90° / 0.5...4.5 V Measuring range 0…180° / 0...10 V (0...5 V) Measuring range 0…360° Baumer_GIM500R_Analog_MA_EN.docx 11.04.18 8/20 Baumer IVO GmbH & Co.

3.3.4 Analog output with sensing range monitoring (Option: /4822) Sensor behavior with option /4822 sensing range monitoring is as follows: the output value jumps to a higher respectively lower value compared to nominal voltage or nominal current. Outside the sensing range, the output value jumps from the maximum to the minimum signal value at half the rotation angle (see 3.3.

3.4 2-point teaching operation The 2-point teaching operation is only supported by 1-dimensional inclination sensors with measuring range 0... 360°. 2-point teaching means the measuring range is defined manually by teaching the minimum and maximum values. Within the sensing range, the output signals come as analog values. Outside the sensing range, the output value jumps from the maximum to the minimum signal value at half the rotation angle (see 3.3.1 Analog output signals).
Standard operation Inside the sensing range DUO-LED: green continuous. Outside the sensing range DUO-LED: red continuous. Teaching error 3.4.2 When exceeding the measuring range or the limits are too close to each other (>5° difference), the teaching operation was not successful and must be repeated. DUO-LED: 3 x flashing red.
3.5 Sensor zeroing The inclination sensors with the measuring ranges 0...90°, 0...120°, 0…180° and 0...270° have the function zero setting. By zeroing the output value at the defined position corresponds to an inclination of 0°. To execute zeroing, apply a HIGH signal (≥ 0.7 * Vs ) pin 5 (teach input) for >250 ms (see 4.1 Electrical connection) 2-dimensional sensors apply the zeroing operation to both directions X/Y).
