2.2.1

Sensor

In its sensor housing the combiSENSOR combines an eddy current displacement sensor
and a capacitive displacement sensor.
In order to obtain accurate measuring results, the surface of the sensor must be kept clean
and free from damage.
The capacitive measuring process is area-related. The combiSENSOR requires a minimum
area of ø 45 mm.
2.2.2

Sensor Cable

The sensor and controller are connected by a special, double screened, 1 m (3 ft) long
sensor cable.
Do not shorten or lengthen these special sensor cable. Do not crush the sensor cable.
Do not modify the sensor cable. This leads to a loss of functionality or of the specified
technical data.
Install the sensor cable in a protected area.
A damaged cable can not be repaired. The sensor cable is not suitable for cable carriers.
Minimum bending radius: 20 mm (once), 80 mm (permanently).

Switch off the power supply of the controller, when plugging and removing connectors.
