4.1
Assembling the displacement sensor
4.1.1
Displacement sensor for front-side mounting
The front side-mountable displacement sensors are supplied with two nuts. You can use these nuts to
lock it in place after adjustment (4.4 Setting up the measuring chain and the displacement sensor).
Depending on the application, the sensor can be mounted forward-facing either within a machine or
outside of a machine or through the machine housing. To avoid measurement errors, we recommend
in all cases that the sensor be mounted with the help of a suitable sensor holder. The sensor holder
must be mounted in a position where it cannot move relative to the object to be measured during
machine operation.
1.
Remove the protective cap from the sensor tip.
2.
Attach the displacement sensor using a sensor holder suitable for the chosen type of
assembly.
3.
Position the sensor so that it lies vertically to the measuring track.
4.
To avoid damage, make sure that the tip of the sensor does not touch the measuring object.
Adjust the sensor through the display of the measured gap voltage.
5.
Install the extension cable. For fixing with cable clamps, we recommend the use of a suitable
protective conduit.
6.
For assembly within the machine:
Seal the opening in the housing with a bulkhead receptacle to prevent medium inside the
machine (e.g. gas or oil) escaping to the outside. We are not liable for damage resulting from
an inexpert assembly.
