Installation Instructions

1. Pre-Installation Checks

   • Verify the model number and cable length match the required installation setup.

   • Ensure the cable is free from mechanical damage and contamination.

2. Connector Inspection

   • Examine connectors for bent pins or corrosion. Clean using isopropyl alcohol if necessary.

3. Connection Process

   • Connect the probe end of the cable to the proximity probe with a keyed MIL-style connector.

   • Route the cable securely through cable trays or conduit to avoid mechanical strain or exposure to harsh elements.

   • Connect the proximitor end to the proximitor sensor ensuring the locking mechanism clicks securely.

4. Routing Best Practices

   • Avoid routing near high-voltage or high-current lines.

   • Use shielded pathways if operating in high-EMI environments.

5. Post-Installation Testing

   • Perform continuity and signal integrity tests.

   • Calibrate the entire proximity transducer system per Bently Nevada’s procedures.
