Introduction Mounting The 955S Smart Brik is an accurate programmable, auto-tuning, non-contact, linear displacement transducer in an economical, low profile package. The transducer utilizes our field proven magnetostrictive technology to give absolute position, repeatable to .01% of the programmable sensing distance. The streamlined anodized aluminum extrusion houses the sensing element and electronics.
NOTE 3: ZERO or SPAN can be adjusted individually without setting the other. NOTE 4: ZERO = 0V on 0 to 10 VDC units and 4mA on 4 to 20mA units. For your convenience, Ametek offers an in-line programming unit (955-1409) that can be installed inline with the LDT. The in-line programmer uses a rocker switch to program the zero and span.
