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 in 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 (voltage amplitude) changes by the change in the sensor
impedance.
 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

3.1.2 FL sensor installation environment
Install the FL sensor at a location that satisfies the following environmental and install
conditions.
▊ Environmental conditions ▊
 Ambient temperature: Must be in a range between -40 to 177 C when devices are
operating.
 Vibration conditions: Must be 10m/s2 pk or less at 10 to 150Hz.
(If the sensor vibrates, an accurate measurement cannot be made.)
Other environmental conditions are the same as the content described in “3.1.1 FK driver
installation environment” ( Page 21).
▊ 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 15 mm dia. centered on the FL
sensor is required.
 When placing other FL sensors next to each other,

separate the sensor tips as right figure.
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

40mm or more
adequate rigidity, that will not be affected by an outside
vibration.
If the FL sensor vibrates, an accurate measurement will 30mm or more
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 9mm or more.
Installation example 2 (recommended)

Dimension X is to be 9mm or more.
Dimension Y is to be 15mm or more.

22
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 9mm, it will be affected by
the attachment plate.
If dimension Y is less than 15mm, 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 0.25mm or less, measurement will
not be possible. The area 0.25mm or less is a
non-sensitive area.
The characteristics of output (V) and gap (mm), are as shown

in the graph on the right.

adjustment using a tester.
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 “3.4.6 Set gap voltage confirmation”(
Page 35).
Adjust according to the following procedures.
Refer to “5.1 Standard static

1 characteristics” ( Page 39), 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 linear range of the connection
monitor.
Being careful not to scratch the sensor top

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

3 the gap gage just moves freely, and affix in
place with the jam nut.
Tighten the jam nut with the following

torque.
Model Tightening torque

FL-202F05□-M1 4.0Nm(41kgfcm)
FL-202F05□-U1 1.4Nm(15kgfcm)
FL-202F08□-M2 8.5Nm(87kgfcm)

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.
● Cutting either the FL sensor or the FW extension cable to a shorter length will result in
unconformity with the specification.
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. FK driver (Spring lock terminal) and Monitor (VM monitor) connection
FK driver (Screw type terminal block (M4)) and Monitor (VM monitor) connection
