PART 1 - INTRODUCTION
The DIT-5200L Non-Contact Displacement Measuring System is an advance in precision
measurement technology. It provides exceptional resolution, repeatability, and nulling accuracy
for detecting the aligned / centered position of a conductive target relative to a pair of non-
contacting sensors.
The DIT-5200L is identical in form to Kaman’s previous DIT-5200 product. Enhancements have
resulted in lower noise (better resolution) and CE Marking.
The DIT-5200L uses advanced inductive measurement technology to detect the aligned or
centered position of a conductive target. For differential measurement applications, two precisely
matched sensors per channel are positioned on opposite sides or ends of a target. In this sensor-
to-target relationship, as the target moves away from one sensor, it moves toward the other
sensor an equal amount. Output is differential and bipolar. Electrically matched sensors on
opposing legs of the same bridge provide exceptional thermal stability
Figure 1 DIT-5200L Circuit
The DIT-5200L signal conditioning electronics is packaged in is a die cast aluminum box with
MCX style sensor connections. The I/O is on a 9 pin mini-D connector. Input power connections
are reverse voltage protected.
The electronics can also be supplied as a bare PCB for installation inside the user’s enclosure.
Custom configurations can also be designed for OEM application requirements
The DIT5200L is CE Marked when purchased in the original enclosure. To maintain the CE
Marking, a ferrite must be installed over the input power wires only on the I/O cable.
