Installation and Assembly
4.1
Precautionary Measures
No sharp-edged or heavy objects may come into contact with the sensor cable sheath.
In pressurised rooms the cable must be protected against pressure loads.
The minimum bending radius is 20 mm (.79 inch). Kinks must be avoided at all cost.
The connections must be checked for tight fit.
i
A damaged cable cannot be repaired.
4.2
Sensor
When assembling, make sure that the polished sensor surface is not scratched.
i
The target may not touch the sensor surface.
Comply with the start of measuring range.

Fig. 5 Free space with no
metallic conductive objects
Make sure when assembling the sensor that there are no metallic conductive objects
within the gray marked area, see
. Else the linearity may be changed of the eddy
current sensor by up to about 1 % of measuring range.
Circumferential clamping
This sensor mounting option offers maximum reliability because the sensor is clamped
around its cylindrical housing.
It is absolutely necessary in difficult installation environments, for example on machines,
production plants et cetera.
