Installation:
First verify that the collar (if ordered) fits your drive shaft. The drive shaft sensor is to be passed
through the hole in the bracket and then held in position by the two plastic jam nuts. The sensor should
be pointed directly at the outer edge of the collar and toward the center of the rotating shaft. The exact
position of the sensor in the bracket should be adjusted to achieve a gap of approximately 1/8”. If your
collar is slightly too large, you can shave a small amount off of each end until it fits well.
Connect the white wire to the Main module “DRV WHT” terminal (id #34) and the black wire to
“GND BLK” terminal (id #33).

configuration by selecting the correct type of sensor from the drop down menu.
