FAQ

1. What measuring principle does the PR6424/013-030+CON021 operate on?
   It uses the eddy current principle, generating an electromagnetic field that varies with conductive target displacement.

2. What role does the CON021 converter play in this setup?
   The CON021 conditions the raw sensor signal, linearizes it, and provides a standardized voltage output for monitoring systems.

3. What is the typical frequency response of this sensor?
   The frequency range is DC to 20 kHz, covering both static and dynamic displacement signals.

4. How does the sensor achieve linearity across its measuring range?
   The probe is factory-calibrated with the converter, ensuring linear response within ±1% error.

5. Can this sensor monitor both radial and axial vibrations?
   Yes, depending on installation, it can measure both radial shaft vibration and axial displacement.

6. How does the sensor handle electromagnetic interference in industrial environments?
   It uses shielded coaxial cables and optimized electronics to ensure high immunity against EMI and RFI.

7. What kind of materials can this sensor measure effectively?
   It is optimized for conductive materials such as steel shafts commonly found in rotating machinery.

8. Is the sensor suitable for integration with third-party monitoring systems?
   Yes, once conditioned by the CON021, the output signal is standardized and can be integrated into multiple monitoring platforms.

9. What happens if the sensor operates outside its temperature limits?
   Exceeding rated limits can lead to reduced accuracy or potential sensor degradation, so proper thermal management is recommended.

10. Can the sensor detect transient vibration events in machinery?
    Yes, with its wide frequency response, it is capable of capturing both steady-state and transient dynamic events.
