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

The transmitter interfaces directly with a 3300 NSv proximity probe to condition high-frequency eddy-current signals across a calibrated 5.0-meter path. Correct installation requires gap voltage validation via the non-isolated PROX OUT and COM terminals, ensuring a static bias voltage target of -10 VDC at the physical center of the probe linear range. Precise eddy-current probe scaling converts dynamic gap variations caused by shaft motion into an accurate 4-20 mA output signal without loss of amplitude accuracy or phase alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is signal verification performed on this transmitter without disconnecting field wiring?

A: The module incorporates a dedicated test input pin alongside non-isolated PROX OUT and COM terminals, allowing technicians to verify loop current output and monitor raw gap voltage using standard test equipment.

Q: Can this unit withstand high-humidity field environments?

A: Yes, the unit features fully potted internal construction designed to withstand extreme moisture conditions up to 100% condensing humidity.

Q: Is an external Proximitor Sensor required to operate the 3300 NSv probe with this transmitter?

A: No, the transmitter contains an integrated Proximitor Sensor circuit within its potted enclosure, processing raw probe signals directly without secondary external signal conditioners.

Field Installation Guidelines

  1. Mount the transmitter module onto a 35 mm DIN rail using the integrated clips, or secure it directly to a backplate using the mounting screws.
  2. Thread the 3300 NSv proximity probe extension cable onto the coaxial input jack on the transmitter, tightening hand-tight to secure the connection.
  3. Connect a multimeter to the non-isolated PROX OUT and COM terminals, adjusting mechanical probe depth until a static gap voltage of -10 VDC is established.
  4. Route two-wire shielded cable from the 4-20 mA output terminals to the control system analog input channel.
  5. Ground the cable drain wire at a single point on the cabinet grounding bus bar to prevent ground loops and protect against electrical interference.
