Eddy-current Probe Scaling
The system utilizes electromagnetic induction to provide a linear output proportional to the target distance. The Incremental Scale Factor (ISF) is calibrated to 8 V/mm (+/- 5%) at nominal operating temperatures to ensure compatibility with standard Epro monitoring modules. Precise gap voltage validation is required during initial commissioning to confirm the probe operates within its linear measurement region, typically targeting a mid-range -10 VDC baseline relative to the signal converter output. Deviations from this scaling indicate potential mechanical misalignment or target material inconsistency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the CON021 signal converter be used with other Epro PR642x series probes?
A: The converter is calibrated as part of a matched system. Replacing the transducer probe requires checking the calibration certificate to ensure that the ISF and linearity error specifications remain within system tolerances.
Q: Is the IP66 rating maintained if the cable is cut or spliced?
A: No. The IP66 rating applies to the factory-sealed sensor head and cable assembly. Any field splicing compromises the integrity of the seal, potentially allowing fluid ingress into the sensor tip.
Field Installation Guidelines
- Install the PR6423 sensor in a rigid bracket, ensuring at least 25 mm shaft diameter clearance to prevent signal flux interference.
- Verify the initial air gap is set to 0.5 mm using a non-metallic feeler gauge to prevent contact-induced tip damage.
- Terminate the converter signal output using shielded twisted-pair cabling; the shield should be grounded only at the monitoring system rack to prevent ground loops.
- Route the PTFE cable through metallic conduit, ensuring the cable bend radius does not exceed the manufacturer's recommendation to prevent internal conductor stress.
- Inspect all mechanical threads for burrs or contaminants prior to installation to ensure a flush mount against the housing.
