Recommended Action
Turn on the power.
Refer to Connect the Wiring on page 32
unit is wired correctly.
Replace the driver.
Refer to Set Gap Voltage on page 36
to adjust the gap.
Measure the resistance between the sensor connector,
and if not normal, replace the sensor.
Normal value:
Sensor coil resistance: Approx. 5.5 Ω
Sensor cable resistance: Approx. 0.25 Ω/m
Measure the resistance of the extension cable, and if it is
not normal, replace the extension cable.
Normal value:
Center conductor resistance: Approx. 0.25 Ω/m
Outer conductor resistance: 0 Ω
Center pin to outer conductor resistance: ∞Ω
Disconnect the connector, and remove foreign object in
the connector.
Replace the driver.
