Important remarks on safety
viii
Do not drop the transducer onto a hard surface or subject it to violent shocks.
Check for dents when inspecting the transducer as this is a sign that it could have
suffered a physical shock by impact. This may have caused damage to components
within the transducer.
Do not excessively bend associated cables. Adhere to the minimum bend radius quoted
in the appropriate data sheet.
When storing and using the equipment, adhere to the environmental specifications
(temperature, humidity) quoted in the appropriate data sheet.

SAFETY
Handling precautions for electrostatic sensitive devices
Before handling electronic circuits, discharge the static electricity from your body by
touching and momentarily holding a grounded metal object (for example, a pipe or
cabinet).
Avoid the build-up of static electricity on your body by not wearing synthetic clothing
material, as these tend to generate and store static electric charges. Cotton or cotton
blend materials are preferred because they do not store static electric charges.
Do not handle electronic circuits unless it is absolutely necessary. Only hold modules by
their front panel handles.
Do not touch printed circuit boards, their connectors or their components with conductive
devices or with your hands.
Put the electronic circuit, printed circuit board or module containing electronic
components into an antistatic protective bag immediately after removing it from the
system rack.

INTRODUCTION
Operating principle
As shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3 below, the AE 119 transducer uses a 4 to 20 mA
current loop (2-wire current-based transmission) as follows:
The output signal is 20 mA when the measurement rod is completely outside the body of
the transducer.
The output signal is 4 mA when the measurement rod is completely inside the body of
the transducer.

INTRODUCTION
Chain overview
Figure 1-2 is for a transducer with a left-oriented assembly, while Figure 1-3 is for a
transducer with a right-oriented assembly. The only difference between the two is the
orientation of the display scale, electrical connector and mounting bracket with respect to the
transducer body and measurement rod. The transfer function is the same and the transmitted
measurement is identical for both left-oriented and right-oriented AE 119 assemblies.
NOTE:
The information shown in Figure 1-2 and Figure 1-3 is equally applicable to AE 119
housing expansion probes with a 0 to 100 mm measurement range. These have a
maximum measurement of 100 mm (instead of 50 mm).
In addition to the transmitted measurement, the measured expansion is also shown on the
display scale of the transducer body.
The transducer simply requires an external 20 to 32 V power supply to provide an output
signal from 4 to 20 mA that is proportional to the measured absolute expansion.

*The power supply current required by an AE 119 is too large for the built-in power supply
capability of the MPC 4 / IOC 4T card pair, so an external power module is always required.

The cable takes the measured current transmission signal to the electronic monitoring
system over 1-wire (separately screened).
The cable is available with a flexible protection tube option to provide additional mechanical
protection at the machinery end of the cable.

NOTE:
Use appropriate grounding techniques. Always conform to the wiring diagrams (see 4 Electrical Connections).

When possible, place cables in a grounded steel protection tube to provide additional
electrical and mechanical protection.
4-
Do not run signal cables through conduits used for other purposes such as power cables
or communications lines.
3-1
Protect all types of connector against physical and environmental (humidity and so on)
damage by means of a protection cap when not in use. Damage to connector pins or to
the connector thread may lead to erroneous measurements.
Do not place an undue load on the connector when the mating halves are in position.
Torque or stress loading on the two halves could damage the connector points or threads
and cause invalid data transmission. Take special care to ensure the soft-line to hard-line
connections are adequately supported and free from stress.
Ensure that the screw threads are not cross-threaded or misaligned when connecting
connectors with screw thread connections.
Check the connector pins to ensure that they are not bent or loose.
Ensure that no dust, dirt or particles are present on the connector pins, threads or
housing.
