Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What principle does the PR6426/010-140 use?
A1: It employs eddy-current induction to translate gap distance into a proportional AC voltage.

Q2: How do I terminate the sensor cable?
A2: The sensor uses a standard M12 8-pin male connector compatible with most condition monitors.

Q3: What is the optimal gap for this sensor?
A3: A gap between 0.5 mm and 2.5 mm yields the best linearity and sensitivity.

Q4: Can the sensor withstand high electromagnetic interference?
A4: Yes, its braided shield and integrated filtering provide robust EMI/RFI immunity.

Q5: What environments can it operate in?
A5: Rated for –40 °C to +125 °C and shock up to 50 g, it suits harsh industrial settings.

Q6: Does it require calibration?
A6: The sensor is factory-calibrated; periodic verification intervals depend on application and usage.

Q7: How does the probe’s 32 mm diameter benefit measurement?
A7: Larger tip diameter increases signal strength and stability over irregular or coarse targets.

Q8: What is the output signal type?
A8: It delivers a 0–10 V AC signal proportional to the measured gap.

Q9: Can I use this sensor for vibration analysis?
A9: Yes, with its 10 kHz bandwidth it captures both low- and high-frequency vibration components.

Q10: Where can I find detailed documentation?
A10: Full datasheets, installation guides, and application notes are available from Epro’s official support portal.
