DWP-KIT / Sensor + scaled readout / mm & inch

Draw-Wire Sensors with Digital Display

Specify a string potentiometer with digital display, matched input and a pre-scaled mm or inch indication for a machine retrofit.

Family ranges are selection envelopes. Output availability, linearity, cable construction, drawings and delivery are confirmed for the quoted configuration.

Display resolution does not improve sensor accuracy. High / low relays are process outputs; safety functions require an independently validated architecture.

BEFORE THE MODEL IS FIXED

Four checks for DWP-KIT integration.

Lift tables, workshop fixtures, process machines and retrofit height indication require a sensor configuration matched to the actual machine and measurement task.

  1. 01Sensor signal matched to readout input and supply
  2. 0224 V DC or 110–240 V AC readout option
  3. 03Zero / tare behavior and two alarm relay setpoints
  4. 04Relay rating and machine control validation
INSTALLATION NOTE / CONTROL THE RETURN

Never release an extended measuring cable.

Hold the cable end and guide retraction throughout installation. Free snapback can injure the installer and damage the cable, drum or sensing element. Keep the cable aligned with the outlet; use a suitable guide pulley for a change of direction.

Stroke, cycle rate, speed, acceleration, cable force and contamination determine service life. Request the specific model instructions and validated limits.

DWP-KIT / QUOTATION + ACCESSORIES

Build the sensing package around your machine.

Request the model drawing, cable exit layout and proposed interface with your quotation. Accessory prices below are indicative planning additions, confirmed in the written quote.

Readout, routing & installation options

Indicative additions for quotation planning. Confirm compatibility and final price with the selected sensor.

Extension joints must stay outside the sensor outlet, wiper and pulley. An extension cable does not increase calibrated stroke. Panel relay outputs require machine-specific control validation.
