Installation Guide

Maintain correct probe gap calibration to ensure linear voltage response across the full measurement range.

Avoid excessive bending of the coaxial cable and maintain a minimum bending radius of 50 mm to protect signal integrity.

Route probe wiring away from VFDs, transformers, and high-voltage power lines to minimize electromagnetic interference.

Ensure proper grounding of the Proximitor system to stabilize reference potential and reduce noise in high-speed rotating machinery.

Verify correct matching between probe, extension cable, and driver module to guarantee accurate excitation and signal conditioning.
