Gap Voltage Validation (-10 VDC Targets) & Eddy-Current Probe Scaling

The transmitter interfaces directly with an eddy-current proximity probe, evaluating target displacement via an incremental scale factor of 7.87 mV/um over a 1.4 mm linear range. Proper field setup requires gap voltage validation to ensure the probe tip is offset approximately 0.25 mm from the target surface, achieving the ideal -10 VDC bias point for unclipped dynamic tracking. This accurate probe scaling allows reliable processing of dynamic shaft movements before transmitting a proportional 4-20 mA signal to process control hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What power input is required to operate the transmitter current loop?

A: The transmitter uses a 2-wire loop-powered configuration accepting a loop voltage between 12 VDC and 36 VDC to drive the 4-20 mA output signal.

Q: What is the frequency measurement range for vibration velocity processing?

A: The module processes vibration signals within a frequency response bandwidth of 5 Hz to 6000 Hz (+0, -3 dB).

Q: What are the physical target requirements for the proximity probe interface?

A: The proximity sensor requires a minimum conductive target surface diameter of 9.5 mm (0.375 in) to maintain accurate scale factor calibration.

Field Installation Guidelines

  1. Mount the transmitter module securely inside an enclosure or onto panel mounting points using appropriate mechanical fasteners.
  2. Connect the eddy-current proximity probe extension cable to the dedicated transmitter input terminal.
  3. Measure static DC voltage across the raw proximity output terminals to validate proper target gap distance (-10 VDC target bias).
  4. Run 2-wire shielded cable from the 4-20 mA loop terminals to the PLC or DCS analog input card, observing correct DC voltage polarity.
  5. Terminate the cable shield at the system rack earthing bar to prevent electromagnetic interference and ground loop noise.
