Arcstar Ohmic Sensor

Post by jemarshall64 »

I have got my hands on an Arc Star Ohmic sensor and would like to get it setup on my table. I would like to see if I could verify the connections on it. ArcStar has gone out of business and I can not get any info from them. There are 6 terminals on it and I think I know where they should go, it's just that I am not 100% sure and do not want to fry something trying to test it out. My setup is running a Gecko g540 Breakout.

This is the terminals on the Ohmic

+24v. Self explanatory
GND. Self explanatory
Cntrl. ??
Touch. ??
Work. ??
Shield. ??

Control I believe I should run back to the g540 Pin 3 for me. Touch would go t the torch shield, work to the table as the ground side and shield would be the wire shielding on both the touch and work wires. The touch and work could be either/or essentially since it should just be completing the circuit....

If anyone knows for sure, please let me know. Thanks.
