Installation Instructions

1. Preparation:
   Verify part numbers and ensure all components (probe, extension cable, Proximitor) are compatible.

2. Probe Mounting:
   Install the probe using the 3/8-24 UNF mounting thread. Ensure the probe is properly seated and secured with a lock nut or bracket.

3. Gap Adjustment:
   Use a target material to set the proper gap (typically 1 mm) between the probe tip and the shaft surface.

4. Cable Routing:
   Route the extension cable securely, avoiding sharp bends, heat sources, and areas with high EMI.

5. Connection:
   Connect the probe to the extension cable and the extension cable to the Proximitor sensor. Ensure all connections are tight and clean.

6. Sensor Mounting:
   Mount the Proximitor sensor on a vibration-free panel or enclosure, ensuring adequate ventilation.

7. Calibration:
   Calibrate the system using a micrometer target and reference voltage meter. Verify linear output range and sensitivity.

8. Final Check:
   Power up the system and verify voltage readings at rest and during shaft rotation. Compare with baseline data.
