- Paper mill rollers (runout measurement)

Installation Guide

Drill and tap a 1/4-28 UNF hole – use #3 tap drill or larger
- Max thread engagement: 0.375 inch – do not over-tighten
- Tighten probe case to 5.1 N·m (45 in·lb) – max 7.3 N·m
Keep cable bend radius at least 25.4 mm (1.0 inch)
- Use ClickLoc connector with protector – torque max 0.565 N·m
- Do not expose probe below -34°C – pressure seal may fail

Commissioning & Maintenance

Set gap to 1.27 mm (50 mils) for best linear range
- Use -24 Vdc power supply for standard operation
- Check cable for damage every 6 months
Clean probe tip with soft cloth – do not use solvents
- Verify output voltage matches expected gap reading

FAQ

What does “Multiple Approvals” (option 05) include?
- It includes CSA, ATEX, IECEx certifications for global hazardous area use.
Can I use this probe with a 5m extension cable?
- Yes, total system length up to 9m works. Keep within spec for linear range.
Experience tip: Output reading jumps at high temperature
- Check connector torque first. Then verify power supply stays at -24 Vdc.
Buying guide: Flush mount (00) vs unthreaded tip?
- Choose 00 (this model) for shallow mounting holes. Choose 10 (1.0 inch unthreaded) for deeper holes.
What warranty and shipping do you offer?
- 12 months warranty. Ships in 12-24 hours via FedEx, UPS, or DHL.
