The
“free area” between the probe and web should have
approximately equal height and width.
There should be NO grounded metal immediately beneath the web on
the far side from the probe.
See Web Monitor Probe Installation diagram.
E. The PerforMAX web monitor probe includes perforated strips and
assorted hardware.
F. The probe may be mounted on the perforated strip with nuts and lock
washers included. The perforated strip may be bent or twisted to suit
the application and will hold its shape as installed. See Web Monitor
Probe Bracket diagram.
G. In dusty applications or applications with corrosive chemicals, purge
the probe. Connect ¼
”OD plastic tubing to the quick connect fitting
on the side of the probe. Apply clean, dry air at a flow rate of 0.14
m3/h [5 CFH] to purge.
To regulate the clean, dry compressed air use a pressure regulator,
such as Norgren model R07-100-RGAA or equal with a flow meter
between the regulator and probe. The flow meter (with needle valve),
such as Key Instruments model MR 3A02-S-V-VT or equal, connects
to the probe. Set the pressure regulator to 34 kPa [5 psi] and adjust
the needle valve on the flow meter for 0.14 m3/h [5 CFH].
5.5 Mounting the Communication Module (optional)
A. Locate communication module at a convenient place within
reasonably close distance to the computer. Standard modular cable
(black) supplied with unit to connect the Communication Module to
the PerforMAX power supply is 2.13 meters [7 feet] long, however
longer cable (not supplied) may be used. Special cables fabricated
for the communication module must be 8-conductor modular cables
with RJ-45 connectors wired
“crossover” (reference color: black).
To ensure communication between the communication module and
the computer, maximum recommended cable length between the
communication module and computer is 3 meters [10 feet] or less.
B. Secure communication module to the mounting surface (commonly a
machine frame) using M5 or M4 [#10 or #8] hardware (not supplied).
