Part II: Setting Up the System
Figure 6. Offset and Measuring Range
Sensor range, linearity, or stability can be degraded if the sensor
or target is not carefully installed. The following precautions
should be considered:
•
Avoid “secondary or side loading” target conductors.
Surrounding metal to the side or the rear of the sensor coil
can inductively couple with the target currents and thereby
indirectly couple to the sensor coil. It is therefore best to keep
conductors other than the target more than one coil diameter
from the sensor coil.
•
If temperature is not constant, avoid fixturing where thermal
coefficients or thermal stresses contribute motion to the
sensor location.
