Successful integration requires accurate gap voltage validation against -10 VDC targets during machine commissioning. The mechanical design of the housing supports cross-talk suppression by providing a robust, stable mounting point that isolates the probe from chassis-induced vibration. Maintaining consistent transducer alignment is required to ensure that the monitored rotor dynamics data remains within specified measurement tolerances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrdering Information\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 21000-16-05-15-102-03-02 Probe Housing Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 3\/4-14 NPT Plug\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x 3\/4-14 to 1\/2-14 NPT Reducer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Cable seal grip kit (includes grommets for 1\/8-3\/16, 1\/4-5\/16, and 5\/16-3\/8 inch cables)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eField Installation Guidelines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNPT Thread Engagement: Utilize a minimum of 5 full threads when engaging the assembly into the machine port to guarantee pressure containment and thread strength.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnvironmental Sealing: Select the grommet size that matches the probe cable outer diameter.
