FAQ

1. What is the recommended linear range of the PR6424/010-120 sensor?
   The linear range is typically 0 to 4 mm, with optimal linearity within ±1% of full-scale output.

2. How does the sensor output correlate to displacement?
   The sensor provides a voltage signal directly proportional to the distance between the probe tip and the target surface.

3. What type of materials can the sensor detect accurately?
   The sensor is calibrated for conductive targets, typically ferromagnetic metals like steel, used in rotors and shafts.

4. Can the sensor be used in high-vibration environments?
   Yes, it supports continuous operation in environments with vibration levels up to 100 m/s².

5. Is calibration required when replacing the sensor?
   Calibration is recommended after replacement to ensure accuracy, particularly when sensor or cable length differs from the original configuration.

6. What is the effect of temperature on sensor performance?
   The sensor is temperature-compensated, but extreme temperature fluctuations may require recalibration for optimal accuracy.

7. How is the sensor connected to the monitoring system?
   The sensor connects to the CON011 converter via a coaxial cable, which conditions and outputs a standard signal to the monitoring device.

8. Is electromagnetic interference (EMI) a concern?
   No, the sensor and CON011 unit are designed with shielding and grounding features to minimize EMI effects.

9. Can this sensor detect both radial and axial displacement?
   Yes, it depends on the installation orientation—radial mounting measures shaft vibration, while axial mounting measures thrust movement.

10. What is the recommended gap between the sensor tip and the target?
    The recommended initial gap is typically between 1.0 mm to 2.0 mm, depending on the application and desired measurement range.
