Installation Instructions

1. Preparation
   Ensure that all system power is turned off before installation. Inspect the probe, extension cable, and Proximitor sensor for physical damage.

2. Mounting the Probe
   Insert the probe into the designated port on the machine casing. Ensure it is securely fastened using a jam nut and lock washer to prevent loosening under vibration.

3. Gap Adjustment
   Set the probe tip gap from the shaft using a micrometer. The ideal gap voltage should read approximately -10 VDC on the Proximitor sensor.

4. Cable Connection
   Connect the extension cable between the probe and the Proximitor sensor. Confirm that all connectors are clean and fully engaged.

5. System Testing
   Power up the system and verify that the output voltage and sensitivity fall within the specified range. Check the waveform signal using a data acquisition system.

6. Calibration
   Perform system calibration with the associated monitor/controller for accurate measurement output.
