Device Classification




   Device Classification       
   Your choices are...
 
      
 
   Sensor
 
     By our definition, a sensor is a transducer, its output is meant for processor, controller or data acquisition system. No display or user interface is present. If you desire a switch, choose this option.
 
   Sensor System
 
     By our definition, a sensor system has more capability than a transducer. The unit may have a display and/or a user interface. If you desire a simple gauge, a locally programmable unit (stand-alone) or a controller/totalizer, choose this option.
 
   Search Logic:      All products with ANY of the selected attributes will be returned as matches. Leaving all boxes unchecked will not limit the search criteria for this question; products with all attribute options will be returned as matches.
Performance Specifications




   Operating Distance Range:
 
     The absolute maximum range over which the device can provide sensible readings.
 
   Search Logic:      User may specify either, both, or neither of the limits in a "From - To" range; when both are specified, matching products will cover entire range. Products returned as matches will meet all specified criteria.
           
   Allowable Sensor Over-Range
 
     Overrange specification limits the range of matching products to the specified range multiplied by a selected overrange factor. This keeps returned matches close to the range requirement and filters out products with a wider range than needed. "From", "To", and "Overrange" must all be specified to activate this option.

Example: User specifies a sensor with a range from 0-100. Without overrange specification, sensors with ranges of 0-100, 0-1000, and -10,000 to +10,000 are returned as matches. An overrange specification of 50% will filter out any sensors with a full scale range greater than 150.
 

   Search Logic:      Matching products will have a range within the specified overrange limit.
   Repeatability:
 
     The repeatability you desire of the device.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
   Minimum Target Diameter:
 
     Due to the technology utilized, the device requires a minimum target.
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value greater than or equal to the specified value.
   Selectable Ranges?
 
     Select this option if you desire the device to be field adjustable.
 
   Search Logic:      "Required" and "Must Not Have" criteria limit returned matches as specified. Products with optional attributes will be returned for either choice.
   Accuracy:
 
      
 
   Search Logic:      All matching products will have a value less than or equal to the specified value.
