Installation Guide
Proper installation of the AI-TEK 70085-1010-314 ensures optimal performance. Follow these guidelines:
-
Mounting: Use the .375 no thd thread size. Ensure the sensor is aligned perpendicular to the target gear or shaft. The 1.375 inch thread length allows for adjustable gap settings.
-
Wiring: The output polarity is white lead positive. Connect the cable (10 ft length) to a compatible input module. Maintain proper shielding to avoid electrical noise.
-
Gap Adjustment: Set the air gap between the sensor tip and the target to the manufacturer’s recommended distance (typically 0.010 to 0.040 inches for passive sensors).
Following these steps ensures reliable signal generation and long service life.
Selection Guide & Purchasing Advice
When selecting the AI-TEK 70085-1010-314, verify that your system requires a passive magnetic speed sensor with the above specifications. Consider the cable length (10 ft) and the operating temperature range. For applications needing different cable lengths, consult with supplier. PLC Source PRO (available at ubest101.myshopify.com) stocks this exact model and can provide compatibility information. Ensure that the input impedance of your PLC or counter module matches the sensor's 960 ohm DC resistance for best signal transfer.
