Installing the Magnetic Field
Sensor
Contents of this chapter
This chapter gives instructions for installing the magnetic field sensor (MFS) or
the Magnetometer.
Examine the MFS mounting location
The Magnetic field sensor (MFS) is a three axis sensor that measures axial, radial,
and tangential directions. The sensors can be mounted on the motor and MFS
sensors can be installed with Y-axis as the axial direction, e.g., parallel to the motor
shaft.
To locate the correct mounting positions on the motor, consider the following
points:
1.
Select the surface on the motor opposite to cable entry.
2.
Measure the distance between the foundation bolts along the length of the
motor and mark the center.
3.
Along the shaft center line, create equally spaced partitions within the
foundation bolts on either side of the center.
