FOREWORD ■ EMC(Electro-magnetic compatibility) The EMC of WK series transmitter is evaluated by various noise tests. However, its characteristics may vary with on environmental conditions such as the magnitude of noise, ambient temperature, humidity and the arrangement of equipment. For the above reason, when operating the system, please observe the following CAUTION.

3. INSTALLATION The installing effect are as shown below. a) to c) Output(V) d) to f) Distance(µm) Dead zone As the above results show, it is most preferable to install the sensor as shown in a) to c). However if the sensor is required to be installed as shown in d) to f), calibration in installed conditions is necessary.
3. INSTALLATION 3.5 WK TRANSMITTER INSTALLAION • Make sure to install and fix the transmitter. When installing the transmitter, avoid a place with high vibration, instability, high temperature and much moisture as well as high-density corrosive materials. 3.5.1 INSTALLATION WITH SCREWS Install and fix with screws using each hole at the four Screw corners as shown in dextral figure.
Then connect the connector and tighten. (SHINKAWA Electric recommends to take up the surplus length of the extension cable by winding it into a cable box. If the excessive extension cable needs to be accommodated in the housing for some unavoidable reasons, do not push it forcibly in the housing, and also do not cut it.)
4. INTERCONNECTION 4.3 CONNECTION OF SIGNAL TRANSMITTER CABLE • For interconnection between the WK transmitter and other equipment, make sure to use 2-core shielded cables or pair shielded standard 2-wire instrument cables, since the signal transmitted is weak. CAUTION Do not use unshielded cables or non-pair shielded multicore cables as the measured values could be affected by external noise.
4. INTERCONNECTION 4.4 WIRING OPERATING REGION (Ω) 1000 The loop resistance is the total resistance of the power supply output, the receiver, field wiring, and any other devices placed in the loop. Use following equation to determine the maximum loop resistance: -12) Ω...
