FAQ

What is the required target material for this probe to achieve specified performance?
It requires a target made of 4140 steel or a similar magnetic steel with a minimum thickness and flat surface area.

What is the recommended power supply voltage for this transducer?
The recommended power supply is -24 VDC, within an operating range of -18 to -26 VDC.

What is the temperature range within which the probe can operate reliably?
The standard operating temperature range is from -35°C to +120°C (-31°F to +248°F).

How is the probe’s output signal scaled, and what does it indicate?
The output is scaled at -7.87 V/mm (-200 mV/mil). The DC voltage represents the average gap between the probe tip and the target, while the AC voltage represents vibration.

Can this probe be used for measuring the shaft position of a turbocharger?
Yes, this type of 8mm probe is commonly used in turbomachinery, including turbochargers, for measuring radial vibration and shaft position.

What is the maximum cable length for this sensor system?
The system is designed for a total cable length of 2.0 meters from the probe to the preamplifier. Extending this length can affect calibration and signal integrity.

Is the probe’s output signal susceptible to interference from other equipment?
The signal is low-voltage and can be susceptible to EMI/RFI. It is crucial to use properly shielded coaxial cable and route it away from power lines and sources of interference.

What is the physical protection rating (IP rating) for this probe?
The standard 8mm proximity probe is typically rated IP65, making it dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets.
