Installation Instructions

1. Pre-installation Check
   Confirm all components (probe, cable, proximitor) are from the same matched set and labeled accordingly.

2. Mounting the Probe
   Insert the probe into the mounting bracket or port with the required clearance. Use the proper thread size (3/8-24 UNF-2A) and torque.

3. Routing the Extension Cable
   Avoid sharp bends and high EMI zones. Secure the cable to prevent vibration-induced wear.

4. Connecting to Proximitor Sensor
   Connect the probe to the extension cable and then to the Proximitor sensor. Ensure all connections are fully seated and tightened.

5. System Calibration
   Use a calibrated target and dial gauge to verify probe gap and linearity.

6. Integration
   Connect the proximitor to the monitoring system. Use shielded cables to reduce signal interference.

7. Power On and Test
   Power on the system and verify output signals. Adjust configuration settings via the monitoring interface if required.
