Average hold and delay hold functions were added to enable
accurate assessment of changes and the desired measurement
position.
The delay hold function measures only signals within the
desired sampling time after a specified time delay from the
trigger. The newly added average hold function is especially
useful for measuring large workpieces with uneven surfaces.
The result computed for one point can be used as a basis for the output for every other
point. This is especially useful for multiple-point measurements.

The sub-digital display shows present values when the hold
function is enabled. This makes it easy to check whether a
measurement is within range.
Maximum and minimum measurement values can be set as
thresholds when automatic teaching is executed. It is useful for
setting threshold values from actual measurements while the
workpiece is moving.
Various factors, such as conversion errors occurring with connected
devices, may cause the output value displayed on the Amplifier to
differ from the actual output from a voltmeter. Adjusting the Amplifier
display while monitoring the actual output on a voltmeter can
eliminate the difference between the two values.

Resolution*2
*2. Resolution: The resolution is the deviation (±3σ) in the linear output when connected to the ZX-LDA Amplifier Unit. (The resolution is measured with the standard reference object
(white ceramic), at the measurement point with the ZX-LDA set for an average count of 4,096 per period.) The resolution is given at the repeat accuracy for a stationary workpiece,
and is not an indication of the distance accuracy. The resolution may be adversely affected under strong electromagnetic fields.

*1. Resolution: The resolution is the deviation (±3 s) in the linear output when connected to the ZX-EDA Amplifier Unit. The above values indicate
the deviations observed 30 minutes after the power is turned ON.
(The resolution is measured with OMRON's standard reference object at 1/2 of the measurement range with the ZX-EDA set for the maximum
average count of 4096.)
The resolution is given at the repeat accuracy for a stationary workpiece, and is not an indication of the distance accuracy. The resolution may
be adversely affected under strong electromagnetic fields.
*2. Linearity: The linearity is given as the error in an ideal straight line displacement output when measuring the standard reference object. The
linearity and measurement values vary with the object being measured.
*3. Temperature characteristic: The temperature characteristic is measured with OMRON's standard reference object at 1/2 of the measurement
range.
*4. The ambient temperature given is only for the sensor head. It is 10 to 60°C for the preamp.
*5. The value given is for an ambient temperature of 25°C.
*6. Do not use in moist environments because the case is not waterproof.

4-mm measurement
The long-stroke ZX-TDS04@ (4-mm
measurement distance) achieves precise
measurements with a maximum linearity of 0.3%
FS and a resolution of 0.1 µm that ranks in the
top class in the industry. Our other
products:
Linearity of
0.5% FS
The unique linear ball bearing structure ensures
longer life. It has sliding parts that move
smoothly and a rubber boot that keeps dust out.
Short and Standard Sensors
feature IP67 environmental
resistance.
Data obtained from one Sensor
can be added and subtracted from
the data for up to 7 other Sensors.
In non-measurement situations, this function detects
whether the Sensor is in danger of being damaged by
overpressing and outputs an alarm signal. A sequence
can be added with devices such as PLCs to provide
measures to avoid damage, such as stopping
measurements when this occurs.
Measurement
distance
After the power is turned ON, the warm-up display indicates
when the Sensor is ready to start measuring at optimum
conditions (i.e. at the specified resolution).
The measurement distance can be
displayed on the Amplifier simply by
connecting the Sensor Head. The
distance between the Amplifier Units and
Sensor Heads can be extended to 3 m, 6
m, or 10 m using a ZX-XC@A Cable
(sold separately).
The differential transformer system eliminates the
need for master adjustment and origin alignment
every time the system is started. It also eliminates
the time-consuming step of returning to the origin
when power is interrupted.
