To mount a plug, push the latching nipple in the forward direction [ ] as
indicated by the arrow on it then slip the plug into the protruding prongs and slide
it to the left until it latches.

Sensor

The sensor is mounted using the chain type bracket on the shaft or solid coupling
of the stationary machine.
The sensor contains a laser diode which emits a beam of red light (wavelength
670 nm). The beam is visible at the point it strikes a surface. It is emitted with a
diameter of approx 5 mm (3/16"). Also located in the same housing is a beam
detector which measures the exact position of the laser beam as the shafts are
rotated. This component is a biaxial, analog, photoelectric semiconductor position
detector with a resolution of 1 µm. The sensor also contains an electronic
inclinometer with resolution better than 1° for measurement of the shaft rotation
angle.
The sensor has two indicator LEDs on its front side, one green for indicating
beam adjustment, and the other red when the laser is on. The sensor is powered
by using the wireless module which also transfers measurement data from the
sensor to the Product. The sensor may also be powered by the Product via a
cable through which measurement data also passes.
The sensor is IP67 protected to resist water spray and dust. The internal optics
and electronics are sealed to prevent any possible contamination. The sensor
lens, however, must be kept clean. Use the lens cleaning cloth or a fine dusting
brush such as that normally used to clean other optical devices. Keep the dust
cap on when not in use.
