The RPS-100 is the first of the RPS series and
has a proven track record of reliability. Since its
introduction in 1979, the RPS-100 has proven itself
in versatility and ease of operation. The remote
transducer allows for mounting of the sensor head in
cramped spaces while the controller is out of the way.
The ranging and proximity modes provide the versatility of simple detection, or actual distance measuring. The isolated form C relay furnishes N.O. and
N.C. outputs, and with the addition of the RPS-500
card various analog outputs are supplied. The RPS100 sensor, which operates at a frequency of 38.5kHz,

has a broad sensing beam which allows for detection
of an object at greater angles of tilt. Sensing ranges
available for the RPS-100 include 2" to 14", 5" to 72",
and 10" to 240". Mounting flanges, LED indicator,
ranging potentiometer, and 6-ft. transducer cable are
included. Optional cable lengths are available.

Proximity Detection

Ranging Measurement

Proximity detection is the detection of an object in a given
range. The detection range of the RPS-100 is controlled by
the "Range Control" potentiometer located on the front cover
of the controller. Any object within the desired range is
detected, while objects out of range are ignored. The detect
point is independent of size, material, and reflectivity.

With the addition of the RPS-500 card, Analog outputs of
0-10 VDC and 4-20 mA are provided. Precise distances of
an object moving to and from the transducer are measured
via time intervals between transmitted and reflected bursts of
ultrasonic sound. The example shows a target detected at 6
inches from the transducer and moving to 10 inches. The
distance change is continuously calculated and outputted.
Ranging Option is indicated by following the part number
with (-500). (Example: RPS-100-14-500)
