Chapter 2 Introduction
2.1 Objectives of this unit

This unit performs non-contact measurement of the distance (gap) between the FL sensor and
the measured object (target), and outputs a voltage signal corresponding to the gap.
By combining this unit with our monitor, it is possible to measure the vibration of a rotating shaft,
its eccentricity, thrust position, rotating speed etc. The unit is utilized for continuous
measurement or monitoring of shafts rotating at high speeds, in turbines, generators,
compressors, etc.
This unit is not designed for use in any other applications.
2.2 Measurement principles

The gap between the FL sensor and the target is found according to the following principles.
• If an approximately 1MHz high frequency current is supplied from the oscillator in this unit to
the FL sensor, a high frequency magnetic field is created at the FL sensor.
• By the interlinkage of high frequency magnetic flux on the target, an eddy current will flow on
the target surface.
• When the eddy current flows on the target surface, a magnetic field is created at the target
side, and the sensor impedance will change.
• The output of the oscillator is detected, and the distance vs. output voltage is made linear by
a linearizer electrically, and the result is output.
Therefore, if the following relationships are identified in advance, it is possible to find the gap
between the FL sensor and the target by measuring the sensor impedance:
• Relationship between the FL sensor and the target gap
• Relationship of the sensor impedance

▊ Installation conditions ▊
• Do not install at a location exposed to rain or other moisture. It can lead to reduced sensitivity
of the FL sensor, and reduced insulation.
• A target surface area of 33 mm dia. centered on the FL
sensor is required.
• When placing other FL sensors next to each other,

separate the sensor tops by 110mm or more.
If they are placed too close together, the FL sensors will
interfere with each other.
• The FL sensor must be installed on a surface with

adequate rigidity, that will not be affected by an outside
vibration.
If the FL sensor vibrates, an accurate measurement will
not be possible.
• For shapes and dimensions around the FL sensor, refer

to the installation example 1-3 below.
If a piece of metal other than the target is near the FL sensor, an accurate reading will not be
possible.
If it is unavoidable to install the FL sensor in the methods of installation examples 4 to 7,
check the characteristics at the attachment completed conditions.
Installation example 1 (most recommended)
Dimension X is to be 17.3mm or more.
Installation example 2 (recommended)

Dimension X is to be 17.3mm or more.
Dimension Y is to be 33mm or more.

19
Installation example 3 (recommended)

After constructing as shown in installation example
2, the area shown by the shaded line in the
illustration is filled with resin or other insulating
material.
Installation example 4
If dimension X is less than 17.3mm, it will be affected
by the attachment plate.
If dimension Y is less than 33mm, it will be affected
by the attachment plate.
If the attachment plate around the sensor top is
chamfered, it will be affected by the attachment
plate.
If the target and the sensor top are not parallel
(dimension X1 and X2 are not the same), it will affect
the reading.
If dimension X is 0.5mm or less, measurement will
not be possible. The area 0.5mm or less is a
non-sensitive area.
The characteristics of output (V) and gap (mm), are as shown

in the graph on the right.

3.3.2 Gap adjustment
Point After completing all wiring connections, it is possible to perform gap

adjustment using a tester (voltmeter).
In this case, make sure to fully understand the content described in this
chapter and complete all connection work, then perform gap adjustment
according to the procedures in “3.4.5 Set gap voltage confirmation”
(" Page 29).
Adjust according to the following procedures.
1 Refer to “5.1 Standard static

characteristics” (" Page 33), and prepare
a gap gage matching the gap that will
produce the desired characteristics.
Consider the following items for the gap.

● Set the gap so that even when the
target is at the nearest point to the FL
sensor, the target will still not come into
direct contact with the FL sensor.
● Set the gap so that it will not go beyond
the measuring range of the connection
monitor.
2 Being careful not to scratch the sensor top

and target surface, insert the gap gage
between the sensor top and target.
3 Adjust the FL sensor to a position where

the gap gage just moves freely, and affix in

3.4 Wiring connections
WARNING
● Make sure the wiring and connections are performed by a person with knowledge in
instrumentation.
● Always perform grounding. Never apply power until all wiring work and connection work
has been completed. If this is not followed there is a possibility of electrocution.
ATTENTION
● Make sure to tighten the collar of the connector by hand.

If it is tightened using a tool, the connector may become damaged. If the installation
environment does not allow proper tightening by hand and there is a possibility that it may
come loose, tighten by an additional 1/4 turn using a plier after tightening by hand.
● Do not apply excessive force on the screws of the connector.

The connector may become damaged.
● Do not cut the FL sensor / FW extension cables shorter.

It may cause problems, such as not being able to perform up to specifications.
Point ● When connecting the connectors, make sure that the cable is not
twisted.
If there is twisting stress on the cable, it may slowly loosen the
connection.
If a twisting force is applied to the direction where the collar will be
loosened, twist the extension cable slightly to the opposite direction of
the collar tightening direction before connecting, then connect the
connector and tighten the collar.
● We recommend that excessive extension cables be stored in the cable
storage box. If it is unavoidable to store inside the driver housing, do
not force excessive cables into the housing.
Connections are performed in the following order.
1. FW extension cable connection (When using the FW extension cable)

2. FL sensor connection
3. Monitor (VM monitor) connection
4. Confirmation after connection completion
5. Confirmation of set gap voltage

25
3.4.1 FW extension cable connection (When using the FW extension cable)
When using the FW extension cable, connect the FL sensor and FW extension cable as shown
below.
Point The connection area of the connector must not be used in a condition
where it is exposed to water or oil. If water or oil enters the connector, the
cable capacity will increase, and will cause a loss in sensitivity.
1 Confirm that there are no foreign objects in

the FL sensor and FW extension cable
connectors.
Foreign objects in the connector will cause

faulty connections or faulty characteristics.
2 Insert the extension cable through the

provided insulation sleeve (clear heat
shrink tube).
3 Connect the FL sensor connector and FW

extension cable connectors, and tighten the
collar by hand.
4 Cover the insulation sleeve over the

connector.
5 Apply hot air on the insulation sleeve, to

shrink the insulation sleeve.
ATTENTION
Never use vinyl tape to insulate.

During extended periods of use or when the connector temperature exceeds 80 °C, vinyl
electrical tape may harden or the adhesive may deteriorate, leading to a dirty connector and
faulty insulation.
If no spare insulation sleeve is available, protect the connector with a fluorine resin tape.
Recommended insulation tape: Manufacturer: Nitto Denko Corporation
Product name: Nitoflon adhesive tape (903uL)
Temperature spec.: -60 to +180 °C 0.08mm thickness

26
3.4.2 FL sensor connection
Connect the FL sensor as follows.

Connection is performed in the same manner when using an FW extension cable.
1 Confirm that there are no foreign objects in

the FL sensor (or FW extension cable), and
in the FK driver sensor input connector.
Foreign objects in the connector will cause

faulty connections or faulty characteristics.
2 Connect the FL sensor (or FW extension

cable) connector and the sensor input
connector, and tighten the collar by hand.
3.4.3 Monitor (VM monitor) connection
Connect the monitor as follows.
ATTENTION
When using a cable that has been subject to a megger test, make sure to short the cable to
ground before connecting, to discharge any electric charge in the cable.
Connecting the cable in a charged condition to the unit or the monitor may damage the unit.
Point ● We recommend using cables described in “2.3.5 Recommended

specifications for the monitor cable” (" Page 11) between the unit and
monitor.
Because a small signal is being transmitted, a cable that is not
recommended may be subject to interference from external noise, and
the measurement may become affected.
● For the monitor side cable terminal connection, refer to the instruction
manual for the monitor.
● We recommend that the length of the non-shielded area be kept under
100mm.
● For the terminal block arrangement of the monitor, refer to the
instruction manual for the monitor.
1 Remove the insulation so that there is 9mm

of exposed wire, and twist the wire.

27
2 Refer to the following drawing, and connect

the signal transmission cable to the FK
driver and monitor.
Connect to the terminal block of the FK
driver according to the following procedures.
1. Use a flat tip screwdriver to push down

the operation lever of the terminal block
(the orange area).
(Recommended flat tip screw driver size:
W2.5mm × T0.4mm)
2. Insert the signal transmission cable (the

9mm of exposed wire) all the way into
the cable insert port of the terminal
block, until it hits the back.
3. Pull out the flat tip screwdriver from the

operation lever.
The signal transmission cable is locked
and the connection is complete.
Point The terminal block is affixed by the 2 screws on the ends of the terminal
block. If these screws are loosened for installation or inspection work,
make sure to affix the terminal block after work is complete by tightening
the screws.

28
3.4.4 Confirmation after completing connection
Before turning on the power, check the following:
● Make sure that there are no loose terminals, and that all wiring is connected properly.
● Check that the power line for the power source is connected to PWR (-24V) of the monitor
terminal block.
● Make sure that the FK driver and FL sensor are installed at locations where the installation
environmental conditions are satisfied.
Make especially sure that there are no problems with the FK driver and FL sensor installation
conditions and that they are not installed at the following types of locations.
- Locations with high temperatures and high humidity
- Locations with a lot of dust
- Locations exposed to vibration
- Locations where there are metal objects other than the target near the sensor
After checking all items, check the set gap voltage values.
3.4.5 Set gap voltage confirmation
In the following cases, perform confirmation of set gap voltage in order to maintain the
performance of this unit.
● When supplying power to the unit for the first time.
● When more than 1 year has passed from the last confirmation.
● When the performance of this unit has been reduced due to a problem of some sort.
Check the set gap voltage using the following procedures.
