GENERAL INFORMATION
Why is the SMART Position Sensor smart? SMART means
that this is a sensor that can essentially think for itself. The
SMART Position Sensor has the ability to self-calibrate be-
cause it uses a patented combination of an ASIC (Application-
Specic Integrated Circuit) and an array of MR (magnetoresis-
tive) sensors to accurately and reliably determine the position
of a magnet attached to a moving object (e.g., elevator, valve,
machinery, etc.) so that the object’s position can be deter-
mined.
The MR array measures the output of the MR sensors
mounted along the magnet’s direction of travel. The output and
the MR sensor sequence determine the nearest pair of MR
sensors to the center of the magnet location. The output of
these two MR sensors is then used to determine the position
of the magnet between them. With this sensor, Honeywell
has utilized MR technology through the ASIC at a level never
before accomplished.
MOUNTING AND WIRING INFORMATION (See Fig. 2.)
1. Locate sensor and magnet in desired position. Ensure:
Air gap between sensor and magnet does not exceed
that given in Table 1.
Alignment of magnet along length of sensor does not
exceed 2,0 ±2,5 mm [0.078 ±0.098 in] from the center line
of each component.
2. Mount sensor:
• Drill two holes, one for each mounting ear.
• Secure sensor using two ¼-20 or M6 screws through each
mounting ear.
Torque screws to 6 N m to 10 N m [53.1 in lb to 88.5 in lb].
3. Mount magnet (Does not apply to 35 mm version.):
• Drill two holes:
- One for the single mounting ear.
- One at 10,25 ±0.10 mm [0.403 ±0.004] dia., and at least
3 mm [0.118 in] deep, for the mounting dog (helps stabilize
magnet).
While ensuring the mounting dog is seated in its hole,
secure magnet using one ¼-20 or M6 screw through the
mounting ear.
Torque screws to 6 N m to 10 N m [53.1 in lb to 88.5 in lb].
4. Wire sensor according to the lead colors given in Table 1.
(Does not apply to 35 mm version.)
