1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The RTP Series Hall-effect Rotary Position Sensors provide
non-contact sensing in harsh transportation and industrial
applications at a competitive cost.
These products use a magnetically biased, Hall-effect integrated
circuit (IC) to sense rotary movement of the actuator over a set
operating range. Rotation of the actuator changes the magnet’s
position relative to the IC. The resulting flux density change is
converted to a linear output.
2.0 MOUNTING INFORMATION (see Figures 1 and 2)
2.1 Housed magnet actuator
1. Locate the sensor and the magnet in the desired
position. Ensure the air gap between the sensor and the
magnet will not exceed that noted in Table 2.
2. Clamp the sensor on the customer-provided mounting
plate and place the magnet on the customer-provided
mounting shaft. Ensure the orientation arrow on the
magnet points toward the connector end of the sensor.
3. Apply the supply voltage to the sensor and monitor
the output voltage. When the output voltage is at the
midpoint as shown in Table 4, tighten the set screws on
the magnet. The sensor angle is 0°.
5. If needed for harsh applications, apply a suitable thread
locking compound to all screw threads.
2.2 Bare magnet actuator
1. Locate the sensor and the magnet in the desired
position. Ensure the air gap between sensor and magnet
will not exceed that noted in Table 2.
2. Clamp the sensor on the customer-provided mounting
plate and place the magnet on the desired actuator.
Ensure the orientation hole on the magnet points
towards the connector end of the sensor.
3. Apply the supply voltage to the sensor and monitor
the output voltage. When the output voltage is at the
midpoint as shown in Table 4, mount the magnet. The
sensor angle is 0°.
5. If needed for harsh applications, apply a suitable thread
locking compound to all screw threads.

best fit line at the measured temperature to the best fit line output ratio span at the measured temperature.
