Gap Voltage Validation (-10 VDC Targets) & Eddy-Current Probe Scaling
The transmitter processes non-contacting probe excitation signals to measure shaft axial position relative to mechanical thrust bearings over a tuned 5.0-metre system length. Commissioning requires physical gap voltage validation across raw probe output terminals to establish the baseline target at -10 VDC when the rotor is at mechanical zero. Precise eddy-current probe scaling translates rotor axial movement into a calibrated 4-20 mA output current proportional to the full-scale 0.6 - 0 - 0.6 mm range.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What measurement range corresponds to the full-scale output loop current for this configuration?
A: The -06 full-scale option provides a symmetrical axial displacement measurement span of 0.6 - 0 - 0.6 mm, mapped to the 4-20 mA proportional loop output signal.
Q: Is external signal conditioning required between the proximity probe and the transmitter?
A: No, the 991 transmitter incorporates an integrated signal conditioning circuit that directly accepts input from the compatible non-contacting probe and extension cable assembly.
Q: How is operating power delivered to the transmitter terminals?
A: The transmitter operates as a loop-powered device using the 2-wire 4-20 mA current loop interface connected to the host control system analog input module.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Mount the transmitter module securely onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail using the pre-installed mounting clips.
- Connect the proximity probe extension cable coaxial connector to the transmitter input receptacle, tightening hand-tight to ensure robust contact.
- Verify static DC gap voltage using a multimeter across test connections, adjusting mechanical probe gap to achieve the nominal -10 VDC baseline offset.
- Wire the two-wire output terminals to the host system 24 VDC analog input interface using shielded twisted-pair conductors.
- Terminate the field cable shield to the main cabinet ground bar at a single point to prevent ground loop noise and EMI interference.
