2. INSTALLATION OF THE PCS-200ESB PROXIMITY SENSOR
2.1 Preliminary considerations
•
The PCS-200ESB Universal Proximity Probe
is used in applications such as non-contact
measurement of relative vibration, axial
position, and relative displacement. It is well
suited for the detection and monitoring of shaft
vibration and runout, rotor imbalance and
misalignment, bearing wear, and stator frame
displacement. The 4 to 20 mA output from the
LIN-300 Series module can be sent to any
compatible instrument.
•
The surface of the target in front of the PCS-
200ESB sensor must be of conductive/semi-
conductive material.
•
The integral cable on the standard PCS-
200ESB is protected on its full length by
flexible stainless steel cable armor .

•
Due to the calibration process, the length of the integral cable may vary lightly from one sensor to another.
Minimum length is 5.5 m
[18 ft.]
. Protection boxes for the LIN-300 Series signal conditioners must be
installed within this range.
•
The integral cable is terminated by a male SMA connector on standard sensors, or by a male BNC
connector on legacy sensors.
•
A mounting bracket will have to be machined
on site. The assembly must be sufficiently rigid
to avoid adding vibrations.

Warning - Danger
•
Never install triaxial cables on high voltage components.
