About this manual

The PT9CN is a linear position transducer that communicates position feedback via the CANbus SAE J1939 interface and is designed for factory and harsh‑environment applications. It offers full‑stroke ranges from 0‑75 inches up to 0‑550 inches, with an accuracy of ±0.10 % of full stroke and a repeatability of ±0.02 %.

The device features a powder‑painted aluminum or stainless‑steel enclosure (NEMA 4/4X/6, IP67), a plastic‑hybrid precision potentiometer, and selectable measuring cable options (nylon‑coated stainless steel or thermoplastic). Electrical specifications include a 7‑18 VDC input voltage, 60 mA max current, and configurable CANbus baud rates of 125 k, 250 k or 500 k.
