! CAUTION
1. If insulation resistance (Megger) test is made on the signal cable between transducer and
monitor, disconnect the cable from transducer and monitor.
Be sure to discharge the charged electric load before connecting the cable to the transducer
and monitor.
If this caution is not adhered to, the transducer and monitor could be damaged.
2. The connector connecting the sensor cable and the extension cable shall be insulated with
the attached insulation sleeve (transparent shrink tube) or fluoro resin insulation tape.
The vinyl-insulating tape shall not be used, which may cause the wiring trouble in the case of
the temperature more than 80°C.
3. Do not measure insulation resistance and dielectric strength other than those at places
specified.
If measured, transducer damage may result.
4. Before collecting data to check output characteristics, set gap, etc., warm up the transducer
for more than 30 minutes to stabilize the output after the power is turned on.
5. Do not use radio transceiver or cellular phone near the equipment under the condition of
opened Driver Housing, or uninstalled Sensor or Extension Cable for maintenance or the like.
It may interfere in the output of the Driver.
6. Before suppling the power to the driver, make sure that the sensor, extension cable and
driver are connected as a transducer system.
Do not supply the power to the driver without connecting the sensor and extension cable.
7. Do not remodel this unit without permission. Otherwise the guarantee can not be made.
8. This unit is designed for use by specialists or persons thoroughly familiar with the field.
9. Make sure that the end user receives the Instruction Manual delivered with this unit.
10. Do not wipe off name plate with solvents, such as toluene and methanol. Characters may
disappear.
Before Use.....
When the unit is received, inspect it for damage suffered in transport and check whether it is the item you
ordered. In the unlikely event that it was damaged in transport or does not function according to specifications,
please contact the SHINKAWA Office or dealer nearest you.
Store the unit under the ambient conditions given in the specification.
Avoid places where it is exposed to high humidity or corrosive gases.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION VK-143P
1.1 GENERAL
Model VK-143P Transducer is the most suitable measuring system for differential expansion between rotor
and its case.
It detects displacement precisely without physical contact with a observed material by the eddy current
principle, and offers 13.5mm linear range for JIS SCM440 as a standard calibration material.
This transducer system consists of VL sensor, VW extension cable and VK driver. System cable length
between sensor and driver is selectable for 5m or 9m by combination with sensor cable and extension cable.

3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION VK-143P
3.1 GENERAL
Fig.3-1 below shows a block diagram of this differential expansion transducer. This is a non-contact type
differential expansion transducer applying eddy current, and a high frequency power of about 1MHz is
supplied to the sensor from an oscillator in the driver.
Thus, the sensor generates high frequency magnetic field so that eddy current flows in the target (observed
material).
The eddy current flow in the target causes magnetic field generation on the target side, resulting in sensor
impedance change.
Thus,if the relationship of the gap between the sensor and target vs. sensor impedance is known, the gap
between the sensor and target can be obtained through sensor impedance measurement.
The oscillator output is detected and voltage output linearized with respect to the gap is output from the
linearizer.

Also, the dead zone as shown in the above should be noted.
! CAUTION
The following conditions must be met to ensure accurate differential expansion detection.
1. The target surface must be more than 3 times the sensor tip diameter(Fig. 4.1(a)).
2. There must not be any conductive materials within a range of 3 times the sensor tip diameter
(Fig. 4.1(b)).
3. To avoid mutual interference between sensors, a minimum distance corresponding to 10
times the sensor tip diameter must be maintained between sensors (Fig. 4.1(c)).
4. Use a sufficiently rigid installation method to prevent vibration of the sensor itself (Fig. 4.1(d)).

4. INSTALLATION VK-143P
! CAUTION
• The mounting holes are provided with insulators for insulation against earth. Make sure to
install the supplied 4 sets of mounting screws (M4) by inserting them through the insulators.
Installation without these insulators may cause interference noise in the output.
• Turn four attachment screws equally in the case of attachment and removal. When it is going to
loosen and remove one screw at a time especially in other than intrinsic safety, a screw may
separate from an insulator.

! CAUTION
1. Before tightening the connector, the connector internal should be checked to confirm that
there is no foreign particle, which may cause the bad characteristics due to the imperfect
contact.
2. As the connector needs to be firmly tightened to avoid looseness after being tightened, it is
recommended that the connector be tightened by the following torque.
Tightening torque : 0.8 to 1.1N•m (8 to 11kg•cm REF.)
Diagonal length of wrench used
Extension Cable•Sensor Side : 6.4mm (1/4 inch REF.)
Sensor•Connector : 8mm
It should be noted that the connector may be damaged if applied with an excessive torque.
3. Beware not to apply the excessive force on the thread part of the connector, which may
cause the damage.
4. After tightening connector, make sure that the cable torque does not cause the connector to
loosen again.
If the installation conditions cannot be changed to prevent this force acting on the connector,
the force should acts in the tightening direction of the connector.
If the installation direction of the extension cable is such that a force acts in loosening
direction of the connector, twist the extension cable lightly in the direction of that the resulting
repulsive force acts to tighten the connector. Then connect the connector and tighten.
(SHINKAWA Electric recommends to take up the surplus length of the extension cable by
winding it into a cable box. If the excessive extension cable needs to be accommodated in
the driver housing for some unavoidable reasons, do not push it forcibly in the housing, and
also do not cut it.)

5. INTERCONNECTION VK-143P
• For interconnection between the VK driver and the monitor make sure to use 3-core shielded
cables or pair shielded standard 3-wire instrument cables, since the signal transmitted is weak.
! CAUTION
Do not use unshielded cables or non-pair shielded multicore cables as the measured values
could be affected by external noise.

! CAUTION
1. For cable wiring for pulse signals (phase marker, revolution) separate them from cables for
displacement and vibration signals.
2. Avoid running signal transmission cables together with control and power cables.
3. Install all cables in conduit pipes or on cable racks.
4. After the megger test of the signal cable, discharge the charged electric load before
connecting the cable.
If this caution is not adhered to, the transducer and monitor could be damaged.
