Measurement Range and Frequency Response
The GT-76AP covers a wide display range from -99.999 to 999.999. It reads changes as small as 1 µm. The 2,000 times/second sampling rate supports fast measurement. Seven response settings let engineers balance speed and stability. Choose hsp (1.5 ms) for fast events. Choose longer times for noisy signals.
Sensitivity, Linearity, and Resolution
1 µm display resolution supports fine positioning and small part checks. Stable output helps maintain repeatable results. The PNP open collector output offers HIGH, GO, and LOW judgement. N.O. and N.C. modes are selectable. This helps match different control inputs.
Temperature Range and Environmental Tolerance
The unit works from -10 to +55 °C without freezing. It tolerates 35 to 85 % RH without condensation. These ratings suit many factory floors and machine cabinets. Keep the unit away from direct water, oil mist, and heavy dust.
Noise Immunity and Electrical Stability
Keep supply ripple at 10 % (p-p) or less. Use a stable 12 to 24 VDC source. Route signal cables away from motors and inverters. The 1 V or less residual voltage supports reliable switching. These steps reduce false triggers and improve long term stability.
Installation Guide
- Mount the GT-76AP as a panel mount expansion unit.
- Connect a compatible GT series sensor head and amplifier.
- Use a clean 12 to 24 VDC power supply.
- Keep ripple below 10 % (p-p).
- Wire the PNP open collector output to the control input.
- Set N.O. or N.C. based on the machine logic.
- Select the response time for the application speed.
- Check display values before running production.
Setup and Maintenance Convenience
The panel mount design saves cabinet space. The digital display supports quick setup and live checks. Response time is selectable through the interface. Eco mode cuts power use when full speed is not needed. Routine maintenance is simple: check wiring, clean the display, and confirm stable readings.
Compatibility Notes
The GT-76AP belongs to the Keyence GT series. It works as an expansion unit with compatible GT series components. It has no built-in communication port. For network or PLC communication, add an optional GT series communication unit. These units are sold separately. Confirm amplifier and sensor head compatibility before purchase.
