Application Alert
Mounting dimensions and target size affect the scale factor of proximity transducer
systems. The minimum recommended dimensions above were chosen to minimize error
yet retain flexibility for different mounting situations. Consult performance specification
155687 to determine the effect of each of the above factors for your particular installation.
Adjust the distance between the probe tip and the shaft using one of the methods shown in
the following figure. The electrical method for setting the probe gap is preferred. (Refer to
document AN028.)

Installation
Check that the extension cable and probe lead length add to equal the
Proximitor sensor system length. (For example, a 9 metre Proximitor
sensor will work with an 8 metre extension cable and a 1 metre probe.)
Identify the probe and both ends of the extension cable by inserting labels
under the clear Teflon sleeves and applying heat to shrink the tubing.
Join the coax connectors between the Proximitor sensor, extension cable
and probe lead. Tighten connectors as follows:

Tightening Instruction
Finger tight
Use the following wiring diagrams to connect the field wiring between the
Proximitor sensor and the monitoring instruments. (Refer to documents
AN013 and AN015.)

If the incremental scale factor (ISF) or the average scale factor (ASF) of the
system is out of tolerance, contact Bently Nevada Corporation for further
information on possible calibration problems or perform the following
adjustment.
Adjustment Procedure
Application Alert
Electrostatic discharge on the exposed calibration
resistor terminals can cause the accuracy of the
system to go out of specification or cause the
system to fail. Use a grounding strap or
equivalent precaution during this procedure.

Troubleshooting
This section shows how to interpret a fault indication and isolate faults in an
installed transducer system. Before beginning this procedure, be sure the
system has been installed correctly and all connectors have been secured
properly in the correct locations.
When a malfunction occurs, locate the appropriate fault, check the probable
causes for the fault indication, and follow the procedure to isolate and correct
the fault. Use a digital voltmeter to measure voltage. If you find faulty
transducers, contact your local Bently Nevada Corporation office for assistance.
The troubleshooting procedures use measured voltages as shown in the
following figure and tables:

Specifications
Section 4 Specifications
The following specifications apply from 18C to 27C (64F to 80F) with a
Bently Nevada supplied AISI 4140 steel target. Typical is defined as 90% of the
devices built meeting the specification, and worst case is defined as 99.7% of
the devices built meeting the specification. The calibration range is defined as
the 2000m (80 mil) range from 250m (10 mil) below -3.0 Vdc to 1750m (70
mil) above -3.0 Vdc. This range is approximately equivalent to a calibration
range of 250m (10 mil) to 2250m (90 mil). ASF refers to the Average Scale
Factor over the calibration range, and ISF refers to the Incremental Scale
Factor, derivative, over the calibration range as measured in 250m (10 mil)
increments.
Application Alert
Operation outside the specified limits will result in false readings, damage to the
transducer system and/or loss of machine monitoring.
