Installation & Wiring Guidelines
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of the Bently Nevada 330101-00-53-10-02-05 Proximity Probe, follow these installation guidelines:
-
Mechanical Clearance: Ensure the probe tip maintains at least 1.5 times its diameter of clearance from surrounding metal surfaces to prevent interference.
-
Gap Setting: Use a digital multimeter to monitor the voltage output from the Proximitor Sensor. Set the probe gap to the center of the linear range, typically targeting -10.0 VDC for accurate readings.
-
Connector Integrity: Ensure the ClickLoc connectors are clean and dry before mating. A successful connection should provide a noticeable "click."
-
Cable Protection: Protect the probe cable during installation by routing it through a conduit or cable tray to prevent mechanical damage and exposure to chemicals.
-
Grounding: Ground the outer shield only at the Proximitor Sensor end to avoid ground loops.
