Installation and Assembly Installation and Assembly General No sharp or heavy objects should be allowed to affect the cable sheath of the sensor cable, the supply cable and the output cable. A damaged cable cannot be repaired. Tension on the cable is not permitted! 4.1.1 Model The eddyNCDT measuring system will be used with unshielded or shielded sensors.
Installation and Assembly 4.1.2 Start of Measuring Range Sensor Target Measuring range (MR) Fig. 4 Start of measuring range (SMR), the minimum distance between sensor face and target For each sensor a minimum distance to the measuring object must be maintained. This avoids a measurement uncertainty due to the sensor pressing on the measuring object and mechanical damage to the sensor/ target.
The sensors protrude beyond the metal holder. The installation scenario depicted is used for factory calibration of the sensors at Micro-Epsilon. The technical sensor data correspond to standard installation conditions. If you want to achieve the values indicated in the data sheet, we recom- mend to install the sensor in the same way as it was during calibration.

You can alternatively mount the sensors with a plastic grub screw.

4.2.2 Flush Mounting Flush mounting does not correspond to factory calibration. Micro-Epsilon recommends to carry out at least a 3-point field linearization. Linearize the measuring system, if possible, when it is exactly arranged (in the same way as it will be arranged later during the measurement process).
Installation and Assembly Measurement Setup, Operating Multiple Sensors Sensors of the eddyNCDT 306x, 307x series cannot be synchronized. Observe the following installation information regarding the minimum distance between two sensors: - 3x sensor diameter distance between two unshielded sensors with equal carrier frequency (e. g. low frequency) - 1.5x sensor diameter distance between two shielded sensors with equal carrier frequency (e.

Installation and Assembly Dimensional Drawing Controller The controller DT306x, DT307x is installed in an aluminum cas- 127 (5.00) ing. 105 (4.13) - The oscillator electronics feeds the sensor with a frequency and amplitude-stable AC voltage. - The demodulator electronics demodulates, linearizes and amplifies the distance dependent measuring signal.
A successful calibration is a prerequisite to minimize linearity errors. In order to achieve an optimal result, Micro-Epsilon recommends a linearity calibration on the corresponding measuring object. A change of the measuring object size has significant effects on the quality of the measurement results.

Operation Positioning the Target Position the target within the sensor measuring range. The value for the start of the measuring range (SMR) depends on the sensor. This value can be found in the technical data of the sensor, see Chap. 2.5. If the user restricts the measuring range, this possibly results in new values for SMR, MMR and EMR.
Operation Distance Measurements Switch to the Measurement menu. Click the Start measuring button. Statistic values are calculated in the web interface. Clicking onto the start /stop measuring button starts/stops the calculation. At the beginning of measurement, the statistic values are reset. During a measurement, the statistic values are updated with each new package received by the controller.
