Application and Design The Measuring Chain An EZ 105x or EZ 108x sensor, together with the EZ 1000 converter, form the eddy current measuring chain. Use this measuring chain for contactless distance, vibration, or speed measurements. Different types of sensors and the software-configurable EZ 1000 converter allow an optimal adaption to the requirements of the machine to be monitored.
(see Section 4.2.1). To measure shaft vibration, WayCon recommends using a sensor holder between bearing and turbine housing, as close as possible to the rotor. [13]...
Installation and Mounting Figure 4-1: Example scheme where to place the sensors Measuring collar Trigger wheel Measuring chain for measuring shaft displacement with EZ 1000 and EZ 105x or EZ 108x. Measuring chain for measuring shaft vibration with EZ 1000 and EZ 105x or EZ 108x. Measuring chain for measuring speed/key with EZ 1000 and EZ 105x or EZ 108x.
Installation and Mounting Do not bend or twist the sensor cable. If the sensor cable has an adapter plug, open To avoid touching the shaft during installation, the maximum distance between measuring target and sensor head must be adjusted first. Screw in the sensor until the converter output voltage starts changing (approximately at -20V DC).

Installation and Mounting • Ensure that no parts of the cable, including the adapter plug, touch any rotating parts of the machine. • Note that machines can expand or shrink due to temperature influences. Always install the sensor cable with a cable length reserve to compensate the thermal behavior of the machine.
