Installation Instructions

1. Preparation
   Ensure the probe mounting surface is clean and free from debris or oil. Check compatibility of the extension cable and proximitor sensor with the probe model.

2. Mounting the Probe
   Thread the proximity probe into the mounting hole using the M10 x 1.0 thread. Use a torque wrench to tighten the probe to the recommended torque value of 1.5 to 2.0 Nm.

3. Gap Adjustment
   Set the initial gap between the probe tip and the shaft surface using a feeler gauge. This ensures the sensor operates within its linear range.

4. Connect Extension Cable
   Attach the coaxial cable to the probe’s miniature connector and secure it using the locking mechanism.

5. Connect to Proximitor
   Plug the extension cable into the corresponding proximitor sensor. Confirm connections are secure and correctly routed.

6. Calibration
   Perform a system calibration using a calibration kit (e.g., TK 3-2) to ensure accurate displacement measurements.

7. Final Check
   Once installed, verify probe readings via the monitoring system. Check for proper signal levels and baseline vibration data.
