The KINAX positional transmitters convert an angular movement into a proportional direct-current signal from 0…1 to 0/4…20 milliampere. The angular measuring range can be calibrated from 0…5 to 0…270 degree. With optional gearing these variables may even be lower or higher. The capacitance scanning system is patented and has proved its worth in applications in different industries for many years. It involves a non-con tact method which is, therefore, completely free of any wear and tear.

Typology of the KINAX program: KINAX 3W2: The small dimensions of this model make it suitable for inclusion within other mechanical devices. KINAX WT710: large more robust version than 3W2 can now be mounted externally onto existing process or industrial systems.

One of the attractions of the 3W2 & WT710 is the freedom of movement and negligible friction that this design imposes on the measurement system. KINAX WT707: This robust design is ideally suited to for heavy duty applications both on and off shore. KINAX SR709: This device is able to convert a linear movement from 0…10 to 0…140 mm into a 4…20 mA signal.

Programmability opens up new applications and greater flexibility for this proven design. This new KINAX range offers complete programmable flexibility over the following parameters
– Rotation angle measuring range,
– Direction of rotation,
– Characteristic line which can now be non linear
– The switch point and other functions 

The output variables of linear, V characteristic (with or without offset) or a freely definable linearisation curve may be set as the characteristic line.

The following features are now possible:
– Measured value simulation to test the downstream devices during installation
– Measured value acquisition and display for a longer period of time on the screen of a connected PC
– Independent fine adjustment of the analogue output, the zero position and the measuring range. 

The output signal is 4…20 milliampere DC (2-wire connection).
